I would strongly advise to get a test drive the different trims (base, touring or nismo) to get a feel for what you want rather than going by people opinions; everyone has a specific taste and what one hates another may love. One thing for a fact is that you will have to learn how to deal with the attention and envious looks you get from driving around this car including from folks in high end Mercedes, BMW and porsche.

There is no problem with these cars that can't be addressed for a very reasonable price; road noise/vibration (you can use dynamat to help with that), silent exhaust (get a louder one), gas hog (drive slower)

As far as elements go, I wouldn't recommend driving these cars in snow, rain, winter tires may help but I just wouldn't do it personally. I lost my 300ZX to the rain. You mentioned something about having another car that does well in snow, you could use that car during bad weather and keep the Z for nicer, dryer weather - your decision.

Once again, welcome to the forum and have fun with your decision
