The 350Z is a good choice for some drivers and a poor choice for others. What are your needs?

If you don't have kids and don't plan on any anytime soon the Z is an awesome car...
Get the Altima SE-R if you have kids... I test drove that car and it KICKS ***...

I say buying a Z is a bad idea, maybe the worst idea I ever had... I would get a tiburon or an eclipse (inline 4 to save on gas) instead.

Tiburon and eclipse don't even have that much better of gas mileage?
Your talking about a couple miles per gallons.

BTW, I commend all of you for maintaining your composure in the face of such a thread. Nicely done. I'm sure it was as difficult for some of you as it was for me to keep my fingers away from the flame key.

I just bought the 2006 model three days ago, the first batch in and boy is that car fun as crap with the upgraded 300 horseys, also the stock 2006 comes with the track rims, very nice.... I say if you buy one buy a new one, drives smooth as hell and will kick the **** out of many cars out there, of course I havent experienced that yet, Im still driving my car like a grandma, still under a 1000 miles, but yeah I say a really really really good choice, my last car was a bmw 325i, and I am happy with my new car, more happy than with the beemer. GOOD CHOICE
