LOVE MY Z! Great car, VERY reliable and has been around in it's current iteration, with a few modifications by Nissan, since the 03 model year so parts support is not a problem.

Believe it or not, there are a few guys on this forum that like their Z's. I think you should base your major decision on the unbiased opinions you will find here.

Over 3 years ago when I was looking at new car options, I test drove the Crossfire, I don't mind the way it looks, but I found it quite underpowered for a sports car/coupe. So you might enjoy the change to the 350. This site is absolutely bulging with information. Do lots of homework, take a few 350's for a test drive. Then make an informed decison from the knowledge you have gleened and let us know how you get along.

6.5" subs??? Those are speaker sized.

But no, I don't think Enthusiast has any subs. Touring+ has a single 10.

Is that why you never see any Crossfires, because they're all broken down?

I had no idea they were so slow 0-60 either.

Just go test drive a Z. That's probably all you need to do.

People say good things about the Lancers, too. I would never buy a Mitsubishi, but hey.. whatever works for you.

Are you interested in a performance sports car or an entertainment center on wheels?

It depends how far you are thinking of going with the sound system. Sounds can be very heavy.

true. what i meant to ask was: is the sound system decent (for having no subs)? i don't listen to much rap so bass isn't a big deal; however i do like a lot of alternative metal , and no, i don't really want a soundsystem on wheels; i just want the car to sound good inside. it looks like the z may be a high possibiliy. i have another question: how are the insurance rates on the Zs? i'm 19, and my crossfire's rates don't run that high.

Z is great car;go drive one & come to your own conclusion.

The stock stero on the Enthusiast sucks wind.

Checked the April 2007 Consumers Reports on Chrysler cars. None is a recommended car except for the PT cruiser (barf). Virtually all have below average reliability records. The Crossfire isn't there so I assume it is no longer being produced. I don't believe it is a sports car but one of those cars made to resemble a sports car without being one (like an Eclipse).

The 350Z is a recommended car with well above average mechanical reliability since its inception in 2003. Excellent grades on engine performance and handling. A true sports car. Designed from the start to be a sports car.

There is no comparison. The 350Z is the best as any of the unbiased contributors to this forum will tell you.
