Nissan 370Z Forum  

If you had to do it over again, would you still buy the 370z??

Hell yes, however, instead of $17K down I would put $7K down and get FI.

I would. I'd get the dark colored nismo wheels next time for my silver (wasn't available at the time).

It has been a very fun car to own, I would have done it again... However the corvette c7 will likely change my opinion when it is out.

No question. The 370Z represents amazing capability for the money. Love it. You can spend more and get much less.

You will miss the power and torque of the R/T Challenger, but you will get much better handling and more exclusivity, You may miss the bigger trunk space and having the ability to have extra people, a dog, or trips to home depot to get stuff. Its tradeoffs, I had a modded Nismo and missed those things, so I got a used V. Given extra garage space I would have kept the Nismo for solo weekend backroad romps.

If I had to do it all over I'd still get the Z. Great little car. My next car will probably not be a Z but that's only because I don't buy the same model car twice in a row (unless it's classic Mustangs).

I've only had mine a month, but the answer would be yes! Given another chance, I might look closer at the roadster, but probably not.

Your posting on "The370z.com" ....We are all gunna tell you to get a Z.

Anyways, coming from a charger r/t to a 370z, I felt the lack of a few things that I loved about the charger.

I loved it dropped from an 8cyl to a 4cyl and saved me gas. I got about 26mpg hwy in the r/t and I get about 28-30 in the Z hwy miles.

I loved the seats in my charger. Blackleather & suede. I also loved how big it was.

The Z will smoke the charger all day long. It will also drive better and handle better.

Its also around the same price. Pick up a used '11-12 370z with 20k miles on it for 20-23k and be done with it.

Use the rest of the money for mods.

My Z makes me tingly in the frontal groin region. It also has a pucker factor that is proportional to the boost its making.

Yes, I would buy another.
