i use a z as my dd for diff amounts, most was about 100 miles one way

 

HOW ARE YOU GUYS GETTING 30MPG? My '97 Accord barely pushed 28 MPG and my commute is 60 miles round trip with 85% highway.
My Z is getting 24 MPG MAX and thats with me trying. As for commuting, I would trust this car on a very hard commute.


OP the Z is a very reliable car. If youre on a budget get an 03-05, skip the '06. If you have a higher budget then get anything 07+.

 

Dont drive like an asshat lol and your straight, i only get 30 mpg going from Vegas to La and back so only on the highway other than that 18-22 mpg in the city if im not pushing it, if im playing nascar only like 14-17 mpg

 

Yeah... I drive mine pretty fast usually lol. Sometimes I wonder why my wife gets 3-4mpg better then me, and then I remember how I drive it lol

 

lol first time wife had it for a week she put a full tank in and gave it back to me with a half a tank, first time i put a full tank in i had to fill up by friday, as im coming back in she goes "you had to put gas in? where the hell have you been going?"

give her this face



and i respond

"I dont drive my car like a grandma"

 

90 Miles a day is a lot...
I daily my Z... Around 10 miles per day and other 50 miles trips once or twice a week...
Pretty reliable ..
(HR Engine - 07)
So far I just had to replace the clutch

 

I commute 100 miles a day,I have put 76K on my Z in the last 2+ years I have had her.Bought her at 24K,now at 101K,Mobil1 @ 5K,fluid changes, and premium fuel.I do about 90% highway on that commute,five days a week.You will need to find one at low mileage,shoot for the HR.

 

90 miles commute per day, I can't believe nobody mention to move closer to the work lol.

I'd move closer to work and buy the Z. It's fantastic car to DD. I drive 25 miles each way to my work and it's a bit excessive. I don't really like the idea of putting so many miles on my car, but damn.... you driving almost 2x what I do!

Oh for the Z get an 07+. Don't settle for anything below. Plus you stated you landed an amazing job, so I'm guessing $ ain't an issue as well as you not having any student loans. Go get yourself a NISMO.

 

My 2003 Z is a manual transmission, but I have driven the auto version and am very impressed with the Z’s automatic transmission.

You see a lot of automatic transmissions because the Nissan model is so good. --Spike
