Default Former G35 coupe owner, looking at buying a Z

Hey everyone,

I am a former G35 coupe owner, who's looking at buying a Z. I currently have a TL and don't enjoy it much, I really miss my G coupe.

I am wondering how similar the Z is to the G in terms of livability and daily driving. I know gas consumption, engine, and chassis are pretty much the same.

Don't know if it helps, but the other car that I am looking at is a CLK 350.

You won't be driving in luxury or comfort for sure. Interior is POS compared to the cars mentioned above.

well im going from a g37 to a 2008 Z so i don't know if you like boats (G's) but i like 2 seater sporty drift cars. fck interiors i care about the feel of the drive. i dont need luxrys. its overrated you should be focused on the road and what might be trying to hit you on it.

IMO the Z has one of the nicer interiors for a sportscar in its price range and the leather seats/heated/power are very comfortable. The ride is super smooth but maybe thats because I have the stock 17s.
