The car just fits me perfectly when I sit in it. Top down, it was like made to order to fit my body. First convertible, and it's just AWESOME!!!! Also the vented seats and the (stock) shift ****. Tach dead center in gauge pod, and the overall layout of the cockpit.

Perfection: Yeah...the little things

Sexy bodylines, screaming exhaust note, and the way she picks up through the gears...amazing designs went to the G35 and 350z

I love how Nissan being so economically wise in creating the car from utilising various parts from sedans and suvs. A sprinkle Murano here, a dash from Altima there, a touch of G35 for the chassis, a heart from the Quest... truly a harmonious package from Nissan! Thanks Carlos Ghosn in packaging a mish mash of parts and call it a sports car!.

You live in Geneva? My mother and I just got back from Switzerland. Geneva is so beautifull and so was lucern. We stayed in Interlaken and I must say that place is gorgeous!!! BTW are you a female or male? It's relevant to your comment.
Peace!

I love everything except for the transmission. For some reason it has been a pain to drive. It's the [slow or high] clutch engagement and resistance when shifting. I don't understand why it was fine before, but lately it's been annoying. I've owned this car since Oct 2002 and the transmission was replaced last Jan.

More *** than a toilet seat? Sorry the Z does get looks from certain people but I wouldn't say women throw themselves at you.

If I got the roadster I would have had to deal with panties being thrown into the car at stoplights.

hehe lump boy.

something they don't tell you in the manual: you get a free hottie in the passenger seat after every car wash. Yeah, that was worth every penny of the $32g.

Every time I get into the Z it brings back memories of my first experience with the Z. It was 1971 and my dad allowed me to test drive a green 240Z with tan seats..never forget that experience...17 years old and a smile from ear to ear. Now I am 52 years old and own my first Z...silver alloy with dk. gray seats and I still have that silly grin every time I get in...the color may be different but the experience is the same.

i guess you can say the "Z" is the best bang for the buck (price and performance). and on top of that the variety of performance/after market product for the car,. too many options.

no matter how much of a crappy day ive had every time i jump into the z and start the engine and the first exhaust note hits it just brings a smile to my face.....

Gas: $3.60
Monthly Z note: $430
Insurance for the Z: (was $100/month w/ family plan but will go up due to speeding ticket....)

Looks, stares & compliments from 5yr old kids to 90yr old men/women while driving the super sexy Z: priceless.
