Default help me out - G35 or 350Z or 350Z roadster or s2000?

I own a NSX coupe (no t-top).

So I'm looking to get one of these cars as a daily driver:

G35 Coupe / 350Z / 350Z roadster / s2000

I test drove the 350Z roadster and S2000 10 months ago when I was debating and couldn't decide, so I stopped buying altogether.

Now that I think I'm ready to make a move on something, the hardest thing is to decide what to get.

I will be using the vehicle to get to and from work every day, and I have a SUV for hauling lots of people / junk when I need to, so practicality is not an issue.

Now please help me with the pros and cons of the vehicles I'm considering.

I would go with whichever gives you the best mpg.

In this case, I'd say the S2000?

i think if you really want a daily driver you may want to rule out the soft tops....just my opinion and at least that narrows you down to 2
the nsx you have (lucky bastard) takes care of your primary sports need, so maybe the G is for you.....

If your looking for luxury go with the G35, If you want a car for performance to toy around in go with the Z.. I personally would go with the G35 for a daily driver, it rides smoother less sporty then the Z. Plus you already have the ultimate sports car.

Besides the NSX and the s2000 are very similar cars.. they may not look the same but they drive alike.

Thanks guys. Looks like the G35 Coupe is winning. That's what I was thinking as well. It's the only car out of the 4 that I have not driven.

Looks like a visit to the Infiniti dealer is in order.

Since practicality is not an issue I say go for the Z roadster! After 9 months of owning a Z, I wish I had gone for the roadster but never thought twice about missing out on the G.

Thanks. I'm taking my time and looking for a clean used G35. Might be a while.

I've got my other 3 daily drivers and the NSX to keep me busy until I find it.
