Whas goin on everyone at the present time Im looking at a few 350Z's, I live in Toronto and wondering how many kms per tank should I expect with a moderate punch every once in while? How well would this car hold up against a Toronto winter? Also are there any specific things I should look for when purchasing a Z? Any advice/tips would be appreciated.

Markus,

 

Welcome Marcus.

 

Welcome,

You have many questions grasshoppa, it would be wise to search..

KM/Tank
Is driver dependent. I would say a fair guess is about 450-500km/tank..

The z is a sports car. That said, all RWD sports cars will have issues with our winters. If you are going to drive the z through winter, I would highly recommend that you purchase a z model with VDC/TCS. You will also want to invest in a quality set of snow tires & steelies.
I would also hope that you have experience driving RWD in snow and slippery conditions.. if not, I would advise against driving in winter.

As far as tips and advice.. You need to specify which model year/trim you are looking to purchase.. If you do not know the difference between these, I would HIGHLY recommend you hunker down and start searching about every question you ever had.

GL Noob!

 

i'm selling my z

 

My advice is to buy a beater and let the Z rest for the winter.

 

i hope this thread doesn't turn into another .. "should i drive my z in winter" debates

 

^He's a haz Bwembro's!

 

Ah yes.... IBTL!

 

I average about 11.5L/100km and about 550-575 km/ tank.
RWD in the winter is not as bad as people make it out, but can be dangerous if you've never had one before. My biggest problem is my car gets ***-dirty within a day in the winter, and I have a hard time washing it. It's too damn cold to wash it myself, and I refuse to take it to automatic car washes, even the touch free ones. Your interior gets all nasty too, unless you have really good rubber mats.
So, if you've driven RWD, and you're not a neat freak, you should be fine.

 

Take it to the coin op self wash places. Booya.

 

the other guys info on fuel mileage is about what i get also, on the hiway sometimes i can get up to 34 MPG (mine is a USDM car) which is nice when doing the edmonton (AB) to vernon (BC) a few times a yr.

i was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of these cars, coming from having a rotary and an SUV.

Also i had to drive mine in the winter last yr (from jan 15 on) and with snow tires it was a piece of cake, actually it was a total blast. The only brutal part was how the rear fenders got crammed with snow once it warmed up in the spring, then at night it would freeze solid.

 

550-575 !?@?@
450 max for me ..
the car hold up fine for me during winter

 

i put in $90 on average (hi octane), i hit 400-450 km a tank.
I tried driving the car last winter, I wouldn't recommend it. You CAN... but its not the car of choice for Canadian Winters.

 

with a moderate punch... 450-500 is what you should expect per tank.

 

if you like drifting then winter driving shouldn't be a problem for you. i can't drive a non rwd in winter

 

still got 400km/tank with boost ^_^

 

Maybe I drive like a vagina?

 

maybe your german car's fuel needle just dropping too fast

i remember last year driving my z up to montreal, i can make it there in 1 tank

 

i get about 500+ if i let it dip down to empty. i normally fill up at 450 and fill in about 55L.

 

dude. I got 800 km out of a tank once and could have gone futher.
