I was in the process of buying a wrx right before I got the z. I was leaving the Subaru dealership and something told me to head down the road to the Nissan dealership to check it out. there was a 03 touring and I test drove it but still couldn't make up my mind. they let me take the car for the weekend and the next day I called the sales guy at Subaru and told him I changed my mind.
I have own nothing but Nissans and have had really good luck with them. I don't think you're going to be disappointed. oh and don't get the base.

Subies are great cars but still look like hot wheels cars. The Z looks great stock, has a lot of performance, and handles well. Tons of upgrades available if you feel you need FI or mods.

Go with the 07 Enthusiast 6 speed, you won't be disappointed. I've had mine for over a month and am finally past the breakin point. Man on man, I took it to the limits over the weekend and needless to say, I can't stop driving it. It is so fun to cruise around in, very comfortable, and dead sexy looks turns heads everywhere. The engine and exhaust note are music to my ears, looks like I'll have to take a lunch cruise. gettin myself all worked up. hah!

icey - i totally agree with you - the Z community is great, especially in these forums. I actually couldn't decide between getting an IS 300 or a Z, and the people on this site actually helped me lean towards the Z (not to mention that it's expensive to go the FI route on and IS and it's horribly slow compared to an FI'd Z). I found the knowledgeable guys in the FI section of the myIS forums to be very rude, and every single question was followed by a "DO A SEARCH" - was not noob friendly. For as knowledgeable as the people on this forum are, they still care about the noobs and don't tear into you when you ask a very basic question.
As for the Z - you will love it. I've only had mine for a week now (an '03), but it turns a lot of heads and I absolutely love driving it. And yes, the chicks love it - sporty like the WRX, but has very classy looks as well.

im in the same boat. im moving from subaru to nissan.
well, sorta. the wife is getting a forester xt, and im trading in my wrx for a z. i went to drive one, and i feel its time for something "different." i love my wrx, and when i drove the z i was really impressed with the car. i didnt think it was gonna be as fun to drive and as fast.
i get the best of both worlds... i get to keep modding a subaru AND add a z.

I currently daily drive my 350Z to and from work and I have not had any problems with reliability issues. Some days I take back roads and have a go with my Z on the turns. This car is built well and can handle "country paved" roads with ease. The STi is a very good car, but I think you will be happy with the Z. Just my two cents and welcome!

The STi is a great car and so is the Z. You are really talking about 2 different things though. I've never owned a car that I really just loved driving as much as my Z. As for the LSD, it's a must if you do any sort of competitive or even just spirited driving. Granted, you can add is later if you got a base but it's a pain and it's expensive so why not just get it already installed? Just my opinion.

Sounds like you got yourself a Z then? If so, welcome to the "Used to own a Subaru, now it's Z time" club. I had a stage 2, custom tuned WRX for 2 years and now I roll in a Z. Couldn't be happier although I do miss the easy modability of the WRX and how fast that thing could be with some exhaust and tuning. Z modding is a whole new game.
