Hey guys, i been looking to purchase a weekend car and i was wondering if there is anything i should be aware of.. Currently, i drive 06 infiniti g35 sedan and i been wanting to get the 350z thus, I have some questions:

1. I am close to 6-4 inches tall, so do you guys recommend roaster vs. hard top?

2. Is there any year of 350z i should be aware of? I am planning to get a/t since i attend grad school in SF.

* any recommendation is much appreciated..

 

1. you'll be fine in a coupe im 6'3 and theres like 2-3 inches of headroom. 2. 03's have tire feathering and tranny problems and 06's have the oil consumption issue,id go with a 07-08 least problems and they have the hr motor.

 

man up and get a MT so you don't start the "conversion from AT to MT" thread later on, come on pansy man the clutch isn't that heavy

 

lolz.. Thanks for your acute response.. I had s2000 and it was very difficult driving in SF. Too many hills and high number of drivers that ride up your ***.

 

Just a word to the wise, those subjects have been covered in depth...MANY times. Do a little bit of research only because some of the moderators here are RUTHLESS when a new thread is created about something that has already been done numerous times.

 

YOu will be okay with a 05 MT, no problems with being crowded or uncomfortable in this model. This year does not have the tire feathering or oil comsumption problems either. Good luck

 

Grad school? I bet it's not in English....J/K. I'm messing around. I love SF and the driving there is nothing to be freaked about with a 6 speed.

 

^ Lmao. Yeah stay away from '03 and '06 if you can. Id recommend 07-08 for the HR motor. GL.

 

06 auto is just fine - no oil consumption issues. Gather data - much avail on this site - make an informed decision.

I think you will be comfortable in either coupe or roadster. So it's your preference.

Note: I personally love the roadster! Unlimited headroom and surround sound! LOL

 

The 350Z is not for you.

 

07 and 08...HR is the best!

 

So you cant drive a manual transmission in san fran? And a convertible would be better than a hardtop for a tall person because you can put the top down and your head wont hit the roof?.... You're in grad school?

 

^ stupid. Buy an 06 and don't look back.

 

Why was that stupid? You can get an 07 or 08 for not much more than an 06 and it has a better engine.

 

+1 HR FTW

if you had an HR you could change your name to 'AllWin' haha

i kid i kid

 

dude getting manual transmission has nothing to do with you attending grade school!
I would definetly consider Manual transmission vs Automatic transmission.
Go manual or GTFO

 

grade school? haha

I agree tho, M/T or GTFO but keep in mind the hills in SanFran are brutal lol

 

I have an auto but now wish it was an m/t. alot more fun after u know how to drive the wheel s off of it..... i have an 04 with 96000 auto and it drive & look's like it did when i bought it off the show room floor in 05. good luck

 

I currently have a coupe and a roadster. I don't notice a difference in the interior room.... just less trunk space

 

My buddy is 6'5 its funny as hell seeing him get out of my Z. Don't do it man.
