Default Are you satisfied with your Z?

Looking at getting a 350z. My previous cars were A DSM, Accord, and Integra. I have been looking at 3rd gen RX7's, S14 240sx's, and 350z's. I am pretty sure I am going with the Z since it is newer then the previous two I mentioned and much easier to find in exactly the colors I want (Blk/Blk). Also, way too many modified/abused RX7s and 240sx's.

So my question is are you satisfied with your Z? Also, what was your last car?

my last cars included a bmw 325i, mustang, honda accord, bmw325ci. I like the z alot better than my previous cars and really have nothing negative to say about the car. I just wish it was more mod friendly as far as cashed is concerned.

I also have a solstice gxp (turbo) up for sale right now. Let me know if your interested in pics.

Mine has a lot of rattles and there is a ton of road noise. I wish the Z was more of a luxury car like the G35.

It's not my favorite car i've owned. I wish it were faster. I enjoyed my 300zx TT more, but this thing turns heads so its nice if you want some attention

I just wanted to add I don't expect anyone to be like "worst car I ever owned, etc" But I'd like to see what you drove previously so I can see what you were comparing the Z too, and what your expectations were.

Also wanted to add, most cars I were looking for, the nice ones were simply too far away.

More POWA.

I wish the engine was more responsive to simple mods. Takes some serious $ to get HP/TQ

i love this car and it is a real head turner. it is my first sports car, but i gave up my Aprilia RSVR mille to get it. i have no regrets. i wish it was faster, but that will be rectified with a FI kit soon.

I wish it had more power, but as mentioned before... it sure does turn a lot of heads. There can be a lot of road noise, like if you run over sand or small pebbles, emanates through the rear of the car very easily. The plastic inside pops every now and then. But, it's a beautiful car and a lot of other people on the road seem to agree.

Great car, no complaints. I was heavy into DSMs before this too, and a 300ZX TT. 350 is the best car I've owned

I am 100% satisfied with my Z. It is a very fun car to drive and makes my daily commute a blast. It is a well rounded car.
