Get the Z....Had the G35 coupe for a month and was not impressed. main reason I went for the coupe was for a little more practicality. Got rid of it in a month and half bc I thought it was too slow. Thought the Z drove and felt the same so did not even think about it. Sold G35 coupe and got 6spd TSX for fun and mostly practicality. Decided I dont necessarily need something practical 4 months down the road and would want something faster and more fun. Sold the TSX and now am back in a Z, which by the way is a lot faster than the g35 coupe. Point to learn...should have got the Z the first time around and ended it. Only lost about 500 bucks over the 2 cars though, so 3 cars in 6 months for 500 bucks sounds great to me.......Keep it real and enjoy your youth! Get the Z, I couldnt be happier!!

If you choose not to believe it ~ couldnt really care less, this thread is about the cars not how much money I lost.....

Yes i looked at the g35x but to be honest the style and looks dont compare to TL. Power wise its up there... but looks and comfort i think TL has it by far.

Here's my two cents: I wouldn't lease a car that I am definately going to drive over the mileage limitation. The Z is just to fun to let it sit. BUY,BUY,BUY!

Test drive both. Whichever one puts the biggest smile on your face, is your choice.

GET the TL! Especially since you want a 5AT Z......
If it was a 6 speed, then I'd say Z.

I got my Z at 28. Same situation no wife/kids etc. Live alone. Drive it through a Mi winter....and I love it. Yes it is not practical...but I am never the DD when i go out w/ friends. If I need to hail stuff around, I borrow a friends car. But when I was lookin a yr ago, I wasn't even considering a sedan. Never once regret it so far.
