Default Z has been my dream car for quite some time now

I dont have a 350Z yet but i plan on getting one next summer for sure, i found out about this site from a friend and i am excited to hear about people's experience of having a Z

Even though it's gonna be a while till i get my Z, i would still like to know...

How long people have had their Z's for?

How much longer do you plan on keeping it?

What do you love most about your Z?

What are some cons of having a Z?

There are a lot of problems with the 350z, but the good quality's of the car out weigh them. The main problem you will have with the car is car insurance, and considering your age it will be 3-4 thousand a year if not more. I am not sure of your driving record and your GPA that might give you a little discount.

Other then that you should be fine, and this is coming from some one who owned the last and best year of the Z. I had the 08 350z it was a HR as you know a little stronger motor, but to me the bulge in the hood meant more as it looked better lol. The interior is crap there is a lot of road noise then again it is a sports car. Aftermarket for the car is not cheap it is not a civic. I think you should look into a Honda civic or RSX. Those cars are cheaper and take heck of a beating too. Also, there aftermarket is cheaper so you get to play with it a fair bit more. I think a cheaper car would let you grow and learn more than a 350z would.

I am sorry to run on, but I thought it would be best to give you my .02cent before we tell you to F off lol.....

Well I'm still in that age group first off (25)

18-25 google it...as far as accidents, dui, insurance rates, and death goes we're in the same boat...

lack of experience is what I was shooting for...

EDIT: driving experience i.e. different speeds, cornering, proper shifting Up/down, and car care/maintenance...

I expect this thread to be bumped by davidv in exactly one year asking, "So OP, what'd you get?"
