370z?
 

I was considering getting the 370z and although I would love to fit 4-5 people in a car. I would love a truely fast sports car. I sortof narrowed the cars I wanted into 3: 370z, mustang, or the infiniti g37. Tell me what yall think about the 370z. Thanks!

well we are obviously somewhat biased but the only one of the 3 you list I'd consider is the z. You just can't beat the handling of this car for anywhere near the price.

If you want to seat people, get the G, if you want a sports car get the Z. If you want a mustang.... get a Z first then trade it in for one. I hear thats what people do around here.

:gtfo2:

nah I went the other way. If you want to go through your douchebag-ricer sensitive-street-torretto-tuna-muscle-loud-obnoxious-street racer phase, get the mustang. (i'm generalizing of course, but around here, thats what mustang drivers are...) I agree with the handling statement. fast and quick are 2 very different things, and the 370 is the latter because of how deceptively smooth it is. It cant really be explained but driving this after driving the mustang I would never go back, this car is really more refined. Not to prattle on but you will want the Z after trying it, it like comparing a DONZI to an outrigger. Trust...

idk a lot about cars but ive heard the mustang kicks *** and the infiniti is close to the 370z but the 370z is the most attractive to my eye but..how much slower is the infiniti because of the backseats?

minimal/negligible difference. handling will be slightly compromised from having softer springs and slightly more weight in the g

I guess my question is if the Nissan 370z is worth giving up the backseats

I would go with the G. There's no doubt you will love the Z, but it seems like you will soon regret or tire of it when you need the backseat or trunk after a few times.

To me it was, but I'm lucky enough to have a dad that has too many crew cab trucks that rarely get used. Like this weekend for instance, I'm going to vegas (~3.5 hour drive from SoCal) and I'm gonna borrow one of his silverados to fit everybody. If I didn't have the option to borrow I would've bought a G37 or IS350, which were the two other vehicles I was looking at before I bought the Z.

I wouldn't trade my Z in for a mustang... :happydance:

You bring up a great point. If I wanna go with a group of people it would be impossible so it's not very practical. I'm trying to find a car closer to 35k though. Thanks for bringing me back to earth lol and congrats on goin to Vegas YEAH BUDDY.

All depends on what you mean by "handling"

What about the Nissan Altima Coupe is that any good? I hear the CVT's transmissions suck because they accelerate real slow once you get fast. idk how to drive manual now but would manual be good?

I'm going to have to agree

I can tell you that you won't be able to fit 4-5 people in a Z lol.

I've seen 4 people in a CRX so it's possible.

You're going severely off track now. Altima? I just had a 2012 Altima as a rental from the dealership. Having put 400 miles on it on wide open highways in the desert (trip to AZ :D), I have to say it's a real unstable car past 75mph. It's erratic. All over the lane. But yes it'll hold all your friends.

If you want to blend into the crowd, get a Mustang. If you want to stand out in the crowd get a Z.:tup:

When looking for a new car, look at the mustang, genesis coupe 3.8R and the Z, select the Z, yes it only carries 2 people, so if you want to carry people you have to chose a different car. Actually if I wanted to carry people, probably consider a wrx.

if you looking at the mustang, hope you are looking at the 5.0 liter

first and foremost, learn to drive a manual. our 7 speeds are good, but not every cars auto's are as fun or as quick

Look at the Mustang as a two-seater. The rear seats aren't very useful.

And IBTL...

Dodge makes a Caravan that will fit 4-5 people and with enough $$ and talent a Hemi swap is doable.

I would too except i don't know how to drive stick and also I heard the stick sucks on the wrx. at first I was considering the scion fr-s and i was gonna tune it up a lot because everyone who reviewed it LOVED it.

They're not the best by any measure BUT it's doable in the 370z there's zero chance.

I'll pass I'm looking for a sports car not a mini van o_o

5.0 is at best a 3 seater for short trips.

I would look at sport sedans.

I want a car that i can tune up so I was wondering. The 370z is amazing but even if it had the smallest backseat in the world i'd be very happy.

My guess is I won't use the backseats very often but I'd like em in an emergency or to take friends in.

You'd sacrifice buying a Z because you can't haul around a few friends?:ugh2:

I think I'll get the Honda Accord Coupe and soupe that up. I need seats :/

I've actually come to enjoy the lack of passenger space in the Z. Passengers do a good job of ******* up interiors, in the Z there's only enough room for you and your lady friend. :tup:

:gtfo2:

+1

not having to haul friends/crap around is the best part of having a 2 seater

true sports cars aren't meant to be hauling a bunch of friends in.

^Umm the FR-S / BRZ....

Now torque/HP is a different thing.

+1

Yea, WTF?

I agree. And my lady friend hated the car at first because of it being impractical compared to other options, but now that she has ridden in it 100+ times she said it makes her feel sexy and now she wants a PW 7sp sport this november. I have my work car, then I have my fun car. She will soon have the same.

:iagree:

The 370Z is not the right car for the OP. No point in discussing this further.
