I have an '03, fun car that gets me about 22mpg avg city/highway, but be prepared to miss the wrx. Maybe that's just me since mine was fairly modded but the driving involvement and AWD are huge factors. I like the N/A engine and the exhaust note still hasn't gotten old to me, just like when I hear a nice suby.
Not much has to be done to make the car look great and if you plan to be in the car for long periods of time I would take it over the S2k.
I do commute up to SF so I must be that metrosexual asshat you guys were mentioning? LOL Trust me, seen plenty of D-bag closet gay suby owners too, all the brands have 'em.
Next car is an STi, M3/5, or Z06. Although I still miss that AWD on a wet twisty road.

BTW, M3/M5/Z06 sounds nice. My next car hopefully will be the e92 M3. If I can find a clean 08-09 with low miles in the 30's, It's mine! THAT car is pure secks.

Haha, I didn't say "I" see a lot of douchebag drivers down south, that's what everyone is telling me. I don't see why everyone is hating, you can't hate on getting a car because some owners are ***s, there are *** owners in every car you buy, even wrx/sti people. SRT4 has major phail though, I haven't seen one non-homo driver yet lol.

i drive a g35 coupe, and i agree, like 99.998% of them/us are not nice people... but you could say the same thing about a lot of wrx and sti owners too lol
edit
and like 99.999% of 350z owners are not nice people also

I'm going to go check out the black Z tomorrow, if it drives good and doesn't have low oil or weird noises, I might just get it. If I notice any problems, then that is a sign to stay away from a Z.
I might look into extending the warranty so I don't run the chance of having the oil problem when the current warranty runs out and then have to pay thousands.

It felt solid, like I said I will check it out tomorrow and give everything a look over, and if I really enjoy driving the stick and think I would have fun, then I'll get it because that is what matters.

Jen actually wanted a 350Z before she bought her first STI. After looking at them and reading up in the Z forums as Flukewrx said they have problems. Imho, the interior kinda sucks.
If you really must go with a Nissan, why not look for a 69' thru 72' Datsun 510 with a VQ35 engine in it.. Very quick and nimble..

The interior is better than the WRX Interior IMHO. The WRX is not really amazing, it's just average, when I was in the Z, the gauges, center console, seats were better for me. So Idk.
As for the forester, I'm sure there are many other faster cars than the Z for cheaper, but I'm not really getting the car to track or to get to 60 in 4 seconds, I just want a pretty nice looking, smooth nice sounding DD. I'm still open to considerations for other cars.
Ahhhh, this is hard, I don't know what to do.

You've clearly made up your mind already. What else did you want to hear besides "Oh yea a Z is the best idea ever"?

I really don't understand where you people run into these "asshats", I've never seen a 350z modded and driven by a douche. I've seen more wrx asshat owners and srt4 owners and even mustang v8 asshats than a freakin' modded Z, asshat driver or not. I never see them on the road, if I do, they are bone stock. No mods at all. It's annoying me how many people hate on the drivers when I rarely ever see that happening around me. Makes it feel great for me to get a new Z huh?
This.

Spend couple days in San Francisco/upper peninsula area where I live. There are a ton of yuppies with G's/Z's/M3's that think they are the most dopest sh*t ever y0. I live right next to two schools and I cannot tell you how many kids AND parents with those cars are total ego maniacs.
Sounds good. I'll look into that.
