hello

i have an e46 M3 and my wife has a golf

she will be in the market for a new car when her lease is up and i personally think the 350Z is a sweet looking ride (with pretty respectable power) - so, maybe i am gonna try to convince her to look at the 350Z

i am a car enthusiast but admit that i know little about the 350Z aside from when one passed by me once and it looked and sounded awesome

reliability?
decent cargo room for a 2-seater?
can you drive it in the snow with decent snow tires?
etc.

thanks!!!

 

you can fit 2 golf bags and a 2 liter of soda. I love the car and can't seem to take my eyes off of it, even as i walk away, i turn around to get a final glimpse (weird, huh?) you'll love it, just make sure the wifey knows how to drive stick, even tho i heard auto's fun also...she'll love it!

 

yea, i was teaching her stick in my 325ci (that i am selling) but i think she prefers an automatic. 350Zs do come with automatics then...good. i think she wants a sedan but i think a 350Z would be a cool car for her to have (until we have kids). then, its time to grow up a bit (boo hoo). i think i am convincing myself she should get one rather than her!!! i love bimmers (obviously) but their sedans make me bored and unless you get an M3 they are expensive for the power they give you. no, power is not everything, but for $35K one would think you get more than 184HP. she is leaning towards an audi right now. it really comes down to her decision and whether or not she wants a roomy sedan or a fun 2-seater.

 

There's always the Infinity G35. They make a 2 door and a 4 door version of that. It's about $5k more than a Z, but you get the advantage of four doors in a car that's just about as fast as a Z. It's also more of a luxury car than the Z, so it might be more up your alley if you like BMW.

you got to consider the Z roadster, It looks more cool compare to the bimmers Z4. Your wife will love it. Maybe other chicks also will love it too :P

 

thanks!!!

yea - i like the Z roadster

i've always liked the 350Z ever since i saw it - beautiful car

i have not sat in one though - how is the interior?

 

Give her your BMW & you get the Z...

 

The Auto's also not as bad as everyone seems to say.

I think its one of the best, most responsive autos I've ever driven.
