Lifelong Honda owner bought a Z
 
Have to thank my wife for helping me get a 2015 Sport+Tech auto in gun metallic.

LONG story short, Honda makes no sports cars anymore, the Z is studlier than the imports & more refined than the domestics.

Hope I keep it for 16 years like my last car.

I have many questions & comments Ill post later.
This is a VERY awesome forum.
I have reading for months before I purchased.

and what??? your wife helped you? most of us had to fight to get wifey's approval to buy the Z, much less even have a conversation about getting a Z.

Yes, my wife even negotiated with the sales manager!
This will be my daily driver, but she looks great in it:

No S2000 but many other Hond's including a 1989 Prelude Si with 4 wheel steering.
Back in the day I wanted a CRX, then an Integra.
S2000's were great, but I didn't want a convertible.
Honda replaced all of them with SUV's...
Honda's fading racing spirit is evident in IndyCar & F1 too.

Yes, the 370 is a beautiful machine.
Brownie points with the father-in-law who has a rebuildable 1968 Datsun Farilady!

Congrats. I just made the switch from the honda scene as well. I came from 2013 turbocharged civic si over to a 15 sport tech 6spd Z you will like it a lot!

Congrats... i too come from a line of honda/acuras. CRX (best gas mileage) 4dr Integra gsr, civic coupe ex with B18C swap, Acura tl-s with supercharger. Those were the days...Honda has disappointed me since. The Z keeps me smiling though...welcome and enjoy your stay and congratulations on the purchase.

Welcome! I too come from the honda/Acura world. CRX (best gas mileage ever), civic ex with a B18C swap, Integra gsr 4dr, Acura tl-s. Those were the days, honda has been a disppointment ever since with the sports car lineup. The Z keeps me smiling tho. Congrats and enjoy your stay...

VVelcome

Congrats! For a daily, and being auto, the only thing to consider is, maybe, a small oil cooler. Other than that, this car is simple and should be reasonably trouble free. 09 Z and a 10 G37 sedan, both daily and have been very reliable for my family.

Congrats on the Z!
