I kept my G35 5 years which will probably be the longest I keep a personal " toy " car... I had an integra first for 2 years, s2000 for 2, totaled it, and got another one ( so I was in the exact situation with the S and got another ! ) kept the new S for 1 year than traded it for the G35 Coupe when it came out, rocked it for 5 years and traded up for the 370z but I can honestly say now, after replacing my g35 motor at 105k after it ate oil its whole life, and now my Z eating oil not being the most reliable thing at 10k, If I got a check tomorrow I would prob go straight for a CPO 335xi ... AWD with a stock turbo and a warranty to 100k....

sad but true . also it would me a much more practical vehicle for New York being AWD and with 4 doors and a backseat.

I love my Z but Nissan in general has lost some points with me in the last few years. Awesome value on their vehicles though as long as they stay reliable.

But I voted undecided because I def am a fan of nissan designs and cars but the reliablility issues have me weary at this momment, but I think before my time is up on this planet I will own another Nissan... Especially a Z with a stock turbo if it comes with a new car warranty, lmao!
