I am looking to purchase my 16yr old a Nismo 350z, we were originally going to pick him up an new srt challenger but the deal feel through. Is this car a safe car, and how does it handle in rain and slight amount of snow? as for it being a manual hell be fine, he's learned on his brothers gt500.

 

Shouldn't be driven in the snow. Seems like way too much car for a 16 year old IMHO.

 

worst idea ever.

 

bad idea for any parent to buy their kid a sports car for their first car.

 

do it...it will be the best year, or even the last year of his life....get a car that fits your kids maturity...

 

If you have a large life ins policy on him and need to pay some bill, sure!

 

The Z is not a good car for rain / snow. +1 on the idea of not getting it for a 16 yr old unless he is exceptionally mature. Also, IMO, the Nismo edition Z is overpriced.

Maybe something less torquey and FWD instead of RWD, Rsx maybe

If he's got to have the Z, maybe a good condition 03 or 04 track edition for half the money of the Nismo.

 

 

He's exceptionally mature, he has just graduated from his senior year of high school and i fell he deserves it. As for the rain and snow; i made him save up his summer job earnings for an old beater jeep (something to drive in bad weather), the z is more of a weekend car. as for it being over priced, how so? i just glad he's got the cayman out of his head.

 

this gots to be a joke.....Cayman...buy him that then if money is no issue go big or don't go at all...

 

i'm calling this fake right now

 

I refuse to purchase from the Porsche stearlership after the hell i went through for my wife's 911
