We were about to buy a VW Tiguan for my wife when she said that I should buy the Z instead. I have a cool wife! She likes riding in the 370z but she doesn't want to drive it. She calls it the "Hot Car".

I never miss the Chicago Auto Show and the 09 I walk in to the Nissan direction to see what they had because I was going to b in the market the following yr, when I saw the Z it was like when you look at one of the hottest females ever and you can't stop starring at her lol so I believe it took 5 min in the inside of the Z when I told my girl this is it I'm getting it =)) and a yr later it was in my garage 2010 Z. And can't b happier.

Got tired of taking the NSX out of town for repairs (every 6 months), so didn't really want a Porsche, looked at the (affordable) two seaters and decided it was the best bang for the buck. I may have considered the Z4 if the current model had been available then and will probably still get a Cayman S PDK someday when I get over my out of town dealership flashbacks (great dealer, but 50 mile tow gets annoying).

Unless I make some money and buy something more exotic

I got the Z because I never got over my 300ZX after I got involved in a serious crash. I was always longing for another Z. Kinda like the girlfriend you can't get over just because she dumped you, you want to get her back so you can dump her

had a 280zx many years ago. Loved that car. Drove it till it fell apart.
I've been waiting my whole life for a high end sports car.
Saw the 370 and loved the lines. Drove it, loved the performance.
It's probably the best car I'm ever going to own.
Haven't regretted it for a second!!!!!

Because just after i got my 2009 Audi A4 Quattro, i randomly ended up in a Nissan dealership parking lot look at it, a total of 6 times, so at the one year mark i lost 25k on the A4 and left with a Z i ordered and it had 6 miles on it. Haven't looked back or at anything else..... and i would buy another if i could to keep completely stock.
