At a crossroads

Munts

You make a very valid point. I am 22 years old at the moment with no kids (thank god) so having 4 seats really isn't a deal breaker for me. I have also looked at 2009-2012 Ford mustang GT's.. although I don't find them extremely attractive. I was also looking at the BRZ.. but I find the Z to be a much better car. Heck I was even considering a Dodge Challenger.. but I heard that those cars are very heavy?? Plus the interior is so ugly I can barely stand it.

Mt Tam I am

Get the Z.

At 22 your car can be about you and a girl vs being able to lug a bunch of buddies around. Take their car to the beach and you'll drive a sports car now before you have kids and can not ever have a two seater again.

You may always be able to have the two seat option in life, but now is a sure thing.

All the cars you have mentioned have redeeming points but I chose the 370Z. The GTR, M3, Corvette were also viable options for me, but still I chose the Z for ease of life. I do not spend endless hours waiting to have my car repaired because a Gremlin appeared in the night, like some cars I've owned.

Winning in a $100K car is not as pleasureable as winning in the $33K car.

Good luck.

I like this, good advice. I think the Z is going to be the winner, I will just tough it out when it snows out. If the winters cooperate there really isn't any snow from between March through November.

I guess once the kid's and the wife come's for most guys a 2 seater is out of the question.. for most. i'm sure there are some lucky ones out there who keep the Z

Yup. I bought my first car back in 1976. Almost bought a Roadrunner. Instead I bought a 1968 MGB. That car at 19 years old (me, not the car) was a game changer. Fun, looked cool with the top down and that roll bar sticking up in the air. Yea, in the summer, it was instant cool. The girls did like it a lot.
