not on purpose but all of my fav cars within my price range are nissans, if i wanted a truck, it would be a titan, if i wanted an suv, it would def. be an extera.. etc

 

I have a Frontier and a 350, i would stay in the nissan family more because of my truck than my car. The Z is a great car but the Frontier honestly has been the best all round vehicle i have owned.

 

I am a Nissan Person almost totally in thinking from my experience of time and cars.

'64 Chevy Corvair +
'57 Chevy +
'59 Ford Fairlane --
'68 Camaro Conv. ++
'74 Camaro Coup --
260Z ++
280Z (Weber SixPack +
Nissan KingCab 4x4 +
Porsche 911 - (Maintenance/Ins.) - and -
'91 Nissan Pathfinder ++
740 BMW -
350Z + (Currently)
KIA Amanti + (Currently)

My current two cars are excellent and I enjoy both. (+ Good and - Bad)

 

Not really a factor for me, but I KNOW that I will have to get a GT-R in the future.

 

the no true six speed is really bothering me in the GTR

 

There's a probability that they will release it based on demand, just like the new M5.

 

2nd year i hope they have one, i know all the technology guys say the one they have now is better, but the clutch and shifting is the fun part.

 

I am coming from a Lexus IS to a Nissan 350z.. Let me tell you My Lexus experience was absolutly horrible. Recalls galore, Damaged my car Valet put a huge 2 inch deep gap into rear door reaching almost to the bumber. Curbed my week old $450 a piece wheel.. I had to threaten to get the BBS involved to get my wheel replaced.. Also they Scratched up my 17 inch Stock Chrome Wheels.. This forced me away from Lexus

 

I would certainly consider another Nissan.

I will say one thing; my days of bashing American cars have been over for a couple years now. I have both a 2003 Lincoln LS V8 and a 2004 Cadillac CTS in my family “neither is mine” and both those cars are rock solid and have had zero problems over the past few years.

So, while I would consider a Nissan, I would most defiantly give an American car another chance as well when shopping.

 

No, I have no loyalty to the brand.

 

This is my third Nissan: 1989 240SX
2002 Altima 3.5
2006 350Z
Never have had any problems; serviced by a
independent garage.

 

here's my evolution

1993 toyota camry v6
2000 isuzu rodeo 4wd
1997 dodge ram 1500 4wd
2001 bmw z3 3.0L
2004 mitsubishi evo 8
2004 mitsubishi montero 4wd
2003 nissan 350z Touring
2006 nissan 350zR Touring

future: mitsubishi evo X MR, toyota tacoma, toyota yaris....something with 4 doors and a back seat

i wouldn't get another nissan because of their service attitude. when i had my bmw.....heck my mitsubishi(s)....they treated me pretty nice. courtesy calls and holiday greeting cards. nissan...zilch...

the best was when i was at the lexus dealership, dropping off my dad's RX. they were on the ball with everything from bottled water to free polo tshirts...

 

I've had absolutely nothing go wrong with my car in almost 4 years of hard driving. And, unlike Toyota's, the car has a soul. I love the thing. But I will not buy a vehicle JUST because it's a Nissan. It has been great, though.

 

I get all that at my dealer.

 

I've owned one of each of the big three asain automakers and here's my take on them. First I had 94 4Runner which was tough as nails. Seriously the biuld quality was amazing I sold it with 200,000 miles and it didnt have a squeek.

Then a 99 Honda Prelude, which I made the mistake of supercharging. The cars build quality compared to Toyota was a joke. My friend opened the door one day and pop, there goes the spring again (happened to both doors twice). Oh and yeah I replaced the interior door handles because the fake crome kept peeling off. And after the modding starting it was the biggest closet peice of **** car.

Anyways to the 350z...I would rank Nissan close to Toyota but still behind them in biuld quality and way better than Honda based on my 350Z. Only thing I hate about Nissan is their lack of attention to paint quality. And foreal their window motors suck A S S.

To sum it up...I would buy a Toyota for a Truck or SUV (since they have no exciting cars whatsoever in production today.) For car/coupe wise, it would have to be a Nissan make. For luxury I would go straight to Infinity; they can't even be touched luxury/performance/value wise, not to mention all their cars are RWD.

btw I love my Z

 

I will not buy another Nissan.

 

Naww. I had a Honda first, then a Dodge, then a Toyota and now a Nissan. I buy the car I like at the time, not who makes it.

 

Hey all - my first post as I'm new to the forum. I love my Nissan 350z and am convinced that for the money it is the most performance you can get off the lot. Having said that - just under 2000 miles (just past break in) my engine ran dry of oil and started to make a variety of noises (valve clattering and etc. I believe.) Very long story short - but I fought with Nissan for just over six months before they gave us a new engine. Unfortunately that process soured the joy of the new car a bit. I still love the car, and have a blast on a regular basis - however have come to believe that although Nissan cars are solid for the most part - Nissan Corporate is a monster and has no clue how to deal with basic customer service. Knowing that I'm a bit reluctant to get another Nissan - unfortunate.

 

Good point. Now isn't that why we all have Z's.

 

The best people I had ever work ,is honda my wife has a CRV coming from a civic .They always did what I tell them to do. very friendly, nice and they will fix anything and they never say no.
