I trying to buy a Z and i am a teen so i have to get a job first so that i can pay for it. But what do you all think should i go with the base or the enthusiast? I know you are all sick of ansfering this question but please help me out. I dont want to regret not having all those VSC OR VCS or whatever features. I wont have money to mod for a while so please help.

thanks

 

vdc tcs is useless 99percent of the time, and the 1percent of the time it comes on is when you are driving like a maniac.. It is fun to whip out the back every once and a while in my base. Before I got my car and started driving it for a couple of weeks I was scared of not having tcs etc, I even posted numerous times asking if the car really needed it. But now I dont really care if I have it or not. Just dont do anything stupid till u learn how to control the car and youll be fine.

many people on here post about how vdc saved their lives, the 2nd day I had the car, I took a turn wayy to fast that I thought I could take fine, I ended up drifting pretty badly and it kinda freaked me out. Since then I've really gotten used to the car and can handle it pretty good. I guess in that situation vdc would have helped, but after that initial experience I learned a lot and now can take turns with confidence.

I'm a teenager too, people always mock me and say your gonna crash, Its funny to me because some IDIOT in a "civic" with 120hp is more likely to crash than me, because of the simple reason that I dont take too many risks, and the risks I do take are very slight, and I only take these risks when Im very confident in what Im doing.

 

weve been over this, so short and sweet, if you can afford it, enthusiast offers a multitude of features that far outweigh its price premium, most of these features are not changable(cruis control, home link, tcs) and some that are but alone will cost more than the price difference(HID, LSD)

but if you cant afford the enthusiast, or if you plan to race the car 99% of the time, most of these cool features wouldnt matter. and on neither do you get VDC, only TCS, but thats better than nothing next time your sliding at a tree.

 

ok i think i am gonna go with enthusiast

 

Solid choice.

 

thanks ya'll but just for my info how much did you all pay for your enthusiast z. Any tricks of the trade aka how to make the dealer go down on the price the lower the better

 

so your a teen and you are going to buy a Z? As in your parents aren't going to help you? im not downing you or nothing, but how will you find a job that will allow you to buy the car, insurance, gas and then have any money to actually have a reason to go out and drive it? plus you have to save up for a down payment....i hope your parents are helping ALOT

 

obviously my parents are paying for the down payment, insurance, gas, and my fun. I only have to pay most of the monthly payments for the 350z.

so its all good.

 

i say you should get the enthusiast. it is not a huge price difference and what you get is definately worth it. the hids, lsd, and traction control will help you. the homelink system is also helpful for you to park in garage.
