i drive mine around town and to most everywhere. but i dont drive it during bad weather as you said. i think its about like my 2003 Z i had. even with all the chasis stiffening it still rides better than by bouncy 2003.
so i would say that i wouldnt let it being a daily driver stop you from picking one up
let me know if you have specific questions

Never settle on just your local circle of dealerships. Service is a whole different story. Remember, you can buy your car ANYWHERE and get it serviced at whatever stealership you want.

lamaz, where did you live in Rochester? I was born and raised in Albion, which is about 30 minutes west of Rochester. Anyways, I talked with a salesman at Dorschel Nissan on West Henrietta Rd. and they are getting me a Redline Nismo Z for $36,200. My brother is actually putting the money down on it today so they can ship it to the dealership.

Oh, and I'm in the military and my next duty station is in Patuxent River, MD and my girl is transferring to NSA in Fort Meade, MD so we are looking to have a house built in or around North Beach. Sorry for jacking the thread, but weird that we are both from around Rochester, NY and we'll both be in the D.C. Baltimore area.

Just received the Nov. 07 issue of Sports Car International. Magazine has a red V8 M3 on the cover. Great 5 page test of the Nismo 350Z. I recommend you pick up a copy.

I had an S2000 as a daily, sucked in bad weather so I went and bought an Infiniti QX4. Next year I plan to get a Nismo Z. If it fits your lifestyle --go for it. Just rent a SUV during bad weather but living in the same area as I do, we don't get that much. I would use it as a daily but now I have a newborn so the Z will be my secondary car.

I'm planning on driving my Nismo as often as I can. I've got an Acura Integra coupe that I use when I need more space (OK, we DO have a minivan, too, when we really need a LOT more space), as well as for winter driving. The Integra is surprisingly agile on snow/ice with good quality snow tires.

I traded my z in with 65,000 miles. Put snows on in the winter to drive to Vermont to snowboard. Never had a problem. Ordered snows for my NIZMO, my only concern is ground clearance. Just have to watch weather and plan to drive before storms or after roads are clear. Front end appears much lower then Z.
