Z for a first car?

FastPaced · 04-18-2011, 05:47 PM

I just recently got my license and a week after, bought my first car, my Z, and stick at that. I pretty much learned how to drive and drive manual at the same time. I live in NYC. So as long as you're cautious and careful, you should be fine.

my first car was a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 440 6 pack

bought it with slicks on it

anyway

your new first car will be able to turn stop and of course go

it has ABS and VDC

very safe

For me, it isnt really about like if its a good first or what. It's all about if you like the car overall and how long you plan keeping it. My Z is my 5th car, and I plan on keeping it. Overall things you get at it's price point -performance, looks, maintenance makes it top notch.

With that said, keep doing test drives, take a real deep feel and look on it. Ask yourself if you would like to keep a car like this, looks very beautiful, powerful, not too expensive, cheap maintenance but isn't a carpool car and no storage for folks who moves stuff a lot.

As far as tranny goes, I went for MT, I know the AT is fantastic but MT will be classic plus I feel that I'm contributing more for the car. I've read somewhere that MT will be obsolete soon.

Back to your topic, IMHO, it's a fantastic car for a first time buyer. My suggestion is to lock yourself to which color you want, what trim you want and if you want regular Z or a Nismo version. Good luck brotha!

Oh, btw, watch out for the mod bug...
