Looks/styling, performance, I've dreamed of having a Z ever since it came out and Need for Speed Underground had it in it.

I would have to say it was my 1970 Datrsun 240Z, then my 1978 Datsun 280Z, then NiSSAn came out with the 350Z in 03. I usually wait a couple of years when a new model car comes out to make sure the initial issues are worked out.

I just decided to buy a car either an s2k or a Z and the Z had been recommended to me so I just got one and I must say it's a crazy beast of a car pretty glad I bought one

I wanted a car that was class and sporty. Coming from a DC2 integra, I wanted something with more torque and power.

The only thing i miss is the Honda's willingness to rev all the way through to redline.

Always wanted to a sports car since I was young. I finally got to the point where I could afford one and wanted something that looked good and had good performance. So I test drove the Z and I came home with it.

Z was amazing body lines ... it's growling exhaust and never ending torque, made me buy a Z instead of RX8 or S2000

I was visiting a friend in NYC in 2003. I had heard of the Z, but had not paid a whole lot of attention to it. I just happened to look over as we were walking down the street to see a black Z cruise by. Just the looks of it and the exhaust note and I was hooked.

I hated the S2000 that I had for 4 days before I bought the Z without ever having driven one

I was looking at the Altima Coupe w/ the 3.5L engine, but every dealership I called wanted me to bring the vasoline with me when I asked for the price... then looking in the paper one day I saw the Z (which I always liked /wanted based on looks and performance) for only 18k with low miles... I figured something had to be wrong, so I went to the dealership and checked it out. I bought it that day and couldn't be happier . There was another guy there wanting to buy it the same day as me, but I had called ahead so it was reserved for me first... I bet he was pissed when he saw them hand me the keys before I drove off in the Z. Muhahah
