Question why 370Z?

I am just a few days old in this forum (and so plz be gentle with me). This is a great forum with wonderful information and I have NEVER EVER been stronger to face the car buying process. KUDOS to the admin for having done such a wonderful job.

Despite test driving, I am still torn between 370z and others (g37, BMW 3 series, TT, CLK, Boxter etc,..). Apart from the $ differences, can you say briefly (5 or less words) why you bought 370z? Thx a bunch in advance.

The G looks awful and is not track oriented like the z IMHO.

OKay, in all seriousness...

I was determined to buy a new camaro, but when i went to test drive, I couldnt fit in the car comfortably, where the Z feels "likes a glove." Im 6'4 200 Lbs...

Following that, the Z was my second choice and thats what i went with. ZERO REGRETS!

Well your list of other vehicles is off.

Suggestion go outside see what car you have in your driveway if you have a car there.

1. Is the vehicle in your driveway practical i.e. backseats, cargo room, utility type.

2. If you have no car in your everyday life can you get by with having only 2 seats and limited cargo space? Do you plan to buy a beater?


Now after asking yourself those 2 questions it should be easier to decide from your list Boxter, Z, TT, and CLK. Not practical cars but drivers cars, built for purpose and fun. For the person that doesnt car about backseats or practicality and still make it through there everyday life with out the car becoming a hassel.

The 3 series and g37 you should be asking yourself do i have wife and kids? Do i want some practicality but a car that can still get up and go and is a pleasant ride, with luxurious goodies?

Now after reading that if you read all of it. Ask yourself in 5 words or less what you want/need?

This will be more than 5 words.

I've owned a Z in one form or another for the past 11 years, I love what these cars were and what they have become. While it's true alot of other cars have fan bases how many have one that spans back 40 years (or close it, dont remember when the first 240z was made). Half the people that stop me to talk about the car or to check it out tell me about this Z or that ZX that they owned in the past and loved. There is a great history you get with a Z car that I really enjoy.

The only hardcore sports car in that list is Z. Rest are either luxury coupes or sporty cars. The question you need to ask yourself is do I want a luxury coupe, sporty car or sports car.
