370Z all day =))

Got some more details on what you are looking to do with the car?

DaveyG · 10-01-2011, 11:58 AM

Drive them, that might help.

335iS

You'll need to drive them (and change 335i to 335is

).

Buddy LOVES his 335i - but he's a cruiser, totes friends around, and likes long drives. I believe the G37S (if it's similar in character to my now gone '04 G35) is about the same.

The Z demands a bit more involvement; what I like in a car. Two different genre's - you'll need to test drive and decide.

Really you are on a 370z site.

370z All day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering your wnter weather, I think G37x might be best.

The 370Z is ok in light snow, but doesn't see to handle it as well as the NSX did (heavier, larger tires, etc.) on my all season winter tires.

Wrong climate to have a 370Z as a DD (and perhaps) only car...so unless you have a winter beater, I would advise against a 370Z. Even if you invest in a set of snows (which many don't think about, there is a several G cost for those) its not a great idea IMHO.

Thanks for your feeedbacks!
I won't be doing anything special, I'll only be driving home/school and with friends.
I'm leaning towards the 335i coupe with the M sportpackage, the 335iS is a bit too expensive for me so thats out.

Yea, I thought about the winter problem too with the Z and I don't think it will go well lol

Think long and hard before buying a DD with just two seats. Doesn't work for everyone.

If by any chance money becomes an issue, I might stick with the Z instead of the 335i.
I'm 18 and soon I'm going to college, which I'll be commuting to. I can take public transportation in poor weather conditions and I'm not going to be driving anyone around since all my friends have cars too, unless I have to, like a girlfriend or sister.

Should I still get teh Z or nO?
