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

90 Miles a day is a lot...

Pretty reliable ..

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
