Pros- fun car, lots of personality, sexy, has not had one problem in 3 years.
Cons- eh... could be lighter I suppose. CD player sux.

I love mine, and although have had the opportunity to sell for an excellent price, refused.

Be prepared for 2 seats and a very impractical trunk. I just moved (in city) and the Z is my only car. I've had to make so many freakin trips.....

Trunk is not that bad, you just have to get creative. I can easily fit two golf bags and still have room under the rear strut.

350z is def a fun car to mod and drive, nice curves and handles well even stock. I gave up my 99 Maxima SE and never had one regret other then
the 4 door issue but Iam single wit no kids so not loosing out on a lot. HOpe your not wayyyyyyy upside down on that Expedition, selling those things is a pain now a days.

I owned an '04 Murano, which I traded in for an '06 350Z. I never looked back. The Murano was nice but the Z is nicer & sexier. Gas mileage is slightly better with the Z also. Limited passenger/cargo capacity was not an issue for me since I still have my GMC pickup with extended cab as a daily driver. You need to ask yourself -- how often do you really use the excess passenger/cargo capacity of the Expedition? If it's your daily driver, you're wasting $$$s since you're paying for the extra seats & cargo space that you are not often using (and the outrageous gas bills associated with this beast).

Cons:

If you haul anything larger than a BIG suitcase, you'll need the EXPLORER. Be prepared to part with a few friends, cause they can't ride with you. And b/c you are so low in the Z, many SUV types like your self, don't even see us.

Pros: OH WOW! just the idea of driving somewhere is fun, I even make up places to go, just so I can drive the Z!!!

The Z works for me, b/c I have a truck as well.

awesome. the only reason i bought the expedition is bc i was sort of stuck in the big body bling bling big rims phase.. although I still think it's nice, I have that itch to go fast again..and you guys are right about the fact of it being a two seater, my gf considered the murano as a secondary option..but i want to go fast!
