Just go test drive it. and try to stay away from Base model. Drive both AT and MT. Pick which ever you like and definitely stay away from 03's and possibly 04's.

good luck

Ignore this guy. A lot of people around here don't understand what a forum is for, how searching for opinions is impossible, and how crappy the search is.

Anyway, theres a lot to consider with buying any car you're unfamiliar with. All cars can be reliable and unreliable. You really just need to determine what you want and will be happy with FIRST, and then see if the Z fits that criteria.

The 350Z is not a very good choice. Have you looked at the RSX?

Get the Entusiast if you can. You need the LSD & TCS in winter weather.

I came from the same exact car but only a 1997. Very big change, but after a few days it just felt normal like any other car lol. also I went from Auto to 6MT. Even though I use my Z to DD (traffic only pain)I love every second of the 6MT.
