Hi everyone.... I'm the recent, and proud owner of a 2004 Super Black Touring and have been loving the experience since day one.

I might get flamed for this but I must admit that after watching Tokyo Drift well over a dozen times I was a shoe in for a 350z, yet being 6'5" I steered clear of cars this size - boy I missed out on a lot!!

What influenced others in picking up their ride? Or even future owners of this beast?

 

I always loved the 300zx, and always had this strange unspoken love for nissans...then I saw the 350z back in 03 in a maxim mag and just fell in love with it...Am a Z guy for life now

 

Last summer I was looking for a new car to save for, and I saw that the Z was affordable so I bought it

 

I've loved the Z since it was rereleased.. but I remember seeing that commerical with the redline 350z that had the Nismo wing driving through the city and I couldn't wait to get one.

 

My brother had a nissan 300ZX twin turbo that I always loved so when the new Zs made their debut, it was like falling in love all over again...

 

hmm.. i just wanted the best car for about 30k...Z rocks my socks!!!!

 

Fixed. And my last three cars have been Z's of different gens.

 

This is my first Z and my first Nissan, but I like it a lot. I've always liked the looks of older gen Z models and other Datsuns as well. I still want a 510 or a 280Z. I couldnt afford a 350Z when they came out so I waited a few years and this time last year I was signing the dotted line on my 03.

 

Fell in love with looks.

Performance & comfort sold me.

 

Best friend in highschool had a mint 2dr 510 datsun . I drove a 240sx all through college so the next step was a 350z . I guess i have always loved the nissan camp

 

im 19 and im going to buy one next spring. the only reason im not buying it now is because i want to save up close to half of what the Z is worth for a down payment so my monthly payments wont kill me and since my insurance will be around $230 per month. basically, im getting one because i think its the sexiest and overall most reliable/cost efficient option at this point in my life.

 

After driving camaros and mustangs since i was 18 and a 4x4 for the last 4 years (im 27 now) i really missed having a sports car so i started shopping around and chevy/ford/dodge really have nothing exciting out in the way of sports cars (corvette excluded i dont have that kind of money )

so i started looking at other car companies and the 350z was the best balance of performance, looks, comfort and affordability. After much reading/research, mostly from these forums, i made the plunge and bought mine, i dont miss my truck one bit.

The Z is a blast to drive and i'm itchin to take it out on a long road trip and find some wide open strech of road to have a lil fun on

 

My dad had 2 280's and a 300 and when the Z came out I absoloutely loved the way it looked. Theres some cars that I looke at and think "how can I not own one of those". Luckly the Z was probably the only car in my price range that made me think that.

I had a WRX before and I got sick of the off on turbo lag, lack of low end, and the POS transmission.

 

Between STi and 350Z. I picked the Z because the interior in the STi is HORRENDOUS! not even worth the extra push in the seat.

 

My mom has a 280z
My dad has a 300zx TT which I grew up watching him modify...stillen, etc.
so naturally im a Z man.

 

What honestly got me was when I saw "The Run" in the movie theater one night back in 2002 The growl of the exhaust on the theater surround made me dizzy, and I knew that the Z was the car I had been waiting for!

 

hmmm my friend got an 04 one then, was looking at cars last summer didnt even consider the z when i started out, paid a visit to the nissan dealership tested out an 06 loved it, saw the price..compared everything and now im here..

 

I had a 280Z and a 300Z (non-turbo). Both cars were great. I started seeing the 350Z concepts showing up at the auto shows and fell in love with it 1st site.

 

my mother had one, i loved it and figured it was a sweet sports car/chick magnet

 

Your mother picked up a lot of chicks in her Z did she?
