I want to buy a 350z but I'm not really sure which one I should buy... I am not a car guy at all I mean besides knowing the most basic stuff, everyone recommends a 350z for me and after seeing it for a while its the first real car I actually like and I can afford, the problem lies in which one I should buy I don't know the difference between gran touring, touring, enthusiast, roaster and such. This will be my everyday car (my first car) so I was wondering if anyone could tell me which one would best fit for just everyday driving (I'm from Miami if that changes anything) this car will most likely never see a track either so if you guys could inform me on which one best fits me I would appreciate it

Welcome.. What's your budget?

Personally, I like the roaster model. Comes in handy around Thanksgiving. After doing up the bird, one can take it out on Dugan Hwy for a spirited run.

Sorry.

OK, pulled this old thing out and don't recall exactly what years this covers.... I think just the early models up to '05. You can easily look up the GT and Nismos to get the full pic.

OP will need an Advil after this..

 

What, you don't appreciate the time I took to type that up when the CTRL-C - CTRL-V failed on my cornpooter?

Hmmmph, he'd need a valium if I bothered with the GT and Nismo models along with the changes after '05!
