The SER is nice and you can put your whole family in the back and still have fun. It depends on you. I am getting the 350z so I will have two truely sexy awesome cars. The thing is that if a buy a 350z I know I will spend at least 15k in mods and my girlfriend will leave me for spending more money and time in my car's than with her.

I'm tired of SE-R people thinking they're so much faster than our Zs. Granted, the Z is not the fastest car for the money but it is damn well the sexiest car for the money and it is fast enough.
Oh... to the OP, buy a honda civic until you can afford the Z and a winter beater.

I beat a 06 Mustang GT at the track 6months ago because I was a better driver on that race. Which according to car magazines stats it shouldn't happen. I think I did 1/4 mile in 13.89.

A Sports Car is a type of automobile designed primarily for performance driving.
While opinions differ as to the exact definition, most sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats and two doors and are designed to provide excellent handling, acceleration, and good looks. A sports car can be described as a car whose dominant design consideration is driving performance. A sports car's main emphasis is on performance by superior road holding, braking, maneuverability, low weight and power rather than comfort, passenger space, and economy.
Altima SE-R = FWD, seats 5, 4 door = Family Sedan
Don't get mad, but these are facts so you have to accept it.![Wink](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I'm not trying to bash on the 350z, I'm really interested in purchasing one because of the style, but you don't just have to have 2 doors and sit 2 to be a sports car.
And then these same people go on comparing 1/4 mile times, which are totally irrelevant of handling and thus, shouldn’t be a factor in determining the “sportiness” of a car. According to aforementioned accepted sport car definition anyways…
To the OP. If you want good performance from a car you can enjoy all year long, get a WRX. Good power, good handling, 4 doors and safe. Make’s you wish it’ll snow just like you were 6 years old.
