Negative on the Altima SE-R.....Do you want a sports car or a sporty 4 door sedan. The option to get a winter beater (i.e. used Accord or used Jeep) is always there, if you get the Z.

coming from a altima se i would much rather the z. depends on if you need the room or not. the altima was fun but not anywhere near the fun of driving the z.

I own an SER, I have spend over 10k on mods on the vehicle. It's super fast and nice, I get compliments all the time. The Z is a better car hands down and has truely performance potential. Don't get me wrong with my current setup I have beat many 350z because I have 280 whp, but it takes a lot of money to get there. 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 was actually going to get the Altima SE-R
I got the Z instead it is just a better car to make really perform.

I love the four doors of the Altima, and that there are NONE on the road

Its really up to you...4 door that hauls, or a 2 door sports car..

I had a Altima SE-R before my Z because I needed a pratical car. Suited my needs at the time but it really wasn't me. I have a regular Altima as a company car too so it makes way more sense to have a toy.

The SE-R is NOT a sports car. Depends on what you really want. If you want an actual sports car that performs like one, the get the Z and get a winter beater.

But if you want a sedan that wants to be a sports car, then get the SE-R

Ask yourself this:

- Do you need the practicality of four doors and a backseat?
- Can you afford both a Z and a winter beater?
- Do you want a car that will turn heads, or blend in?

If you answered yes to the 1st question, get the SE-R. If you answered yes to the 2nd question get the Z.

What's your definition of a sport car?

The Z and SE-R are sport cars. One with 4 door and the other with 2 door. Different purposes, different beast's on the road.

Let's see here, hmm.

Sports Car
n.
An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one-passenger or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds.


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.

Base on that information you gather, the Z is a true sport's car. So I accepted. But if I have to choose for a four door sport sedan on the market for 30 grand. I will definetly don't feel bad about my purchase. Because the SER is a "sleeper" almost nobody has it, and many people understimate the car potential performance wise.
