Mid Life Crisis Purchase Coming!
 
Test Drove the 2010 Nissan 370 Z today and fell in love!

Talk to me people! Give me the Goods the Bads, I'm seriously looking at this vehicle as my next Car and am thinking of taking it across Canada in the Summer of 2011 - What are your thoughts, anyone use it for long trips, will I need a Chiropractor?? lol

All Feedback appreciated! :bowrofl:

Good: Very comfortable, deserving of all the rave reviews regarding performance, awesome car for the money.

Bad: Gas mileage is not so great, if you plan to track it you should invest in an oil cooler.

Ugly: The fuel and temp dummy gauges look silly.

That's about it -- buy it! :tup:

The Good: Unique look and relatively low volume sales. Since it's not a Corvette people won't realize it's a mid-life crisis car.

The Bad: With summer times standard, not a good winter snow car -- but Vancouver doesn't get that much snow does it?

Welcome, and the car really is great, and I can't think of any major issues with it

Good: plenty fast for what you need. Cool looking head turner, a well balanced car for the track or twisty road. Gas milage is pretty good for s sports car if you can control your right foot & Nissans are pretty reliable in my experience.

Bad: needs an oil cooler if you intend to do any type of racing (nothing to worry about for daily driving). Road noise from tires & noisy transmission.

Pro's greatly outweigh the Cons. If your looking for a true sports car at a great price, look no further. You won't find a better sports car in this price range. If you wanna go up market, there are plenty of choices. But this is a no brainer unless you were thinking more along the lines of a muscle car.

its got the same performance as the porsche cayman S pretty much.

It can keep up with a lot of cars 10-15k+ more expensive. its much more mature looking than the outgoing 350z. It is, however, a little less refined than the higher end cars to which it is compared. like the bmw Z4, Cayman S, etc.

This made me want to buy it:

It is just fantastic for long trips. Just returned from 4900mile trip last Friday and last year was a 3K trip and the year before in our old 350 we did 7K. No you will not need a Chiropractor<LOL>. ENJOY...................!!

Yes!
 
Mine's a midlife crisis car too. Bought it July 1. Looove it! Go for it!
What color are you going to get?:driving:

ProfessorDave 07-18-2010 06:09 AM

3rd mid life crisis car for me (RX-8, MINI Cooper, Z). The Z is the best performing, best looking car for the money. And I agree, it does not scream mid life crisis (iunless it's red, of course:icon17:). Start making tough choices, like color and package options!

TheFunologist 07-22-2010 04:38 PM

Thanks for all the great feedback guys!
 
I am looking forward to adding it to my stable!

Cheers :tiphat:
