New 370Z owner in California

KarenJ · 01-17-2013, 10:50 AM

Hello,
I've had my Z for a little over 2 weeks now. My previous car was a 2003 VW Passat wagon (which I loved and was great for hauling the kids, running errands etc), my son is now using it to drive to school. When my husband and I began the search for a new car I really hadn't planned on anything like a Z (hubby sorta "gently" nudged me in that direction

) I was looking at coupes and considered the Altima, but ultimately the Z won out.
I love the car! Its absolutely drop dead beautiful, the color is awesome and so fun to drive! We started with considering the base model, but ended up with a new 2012 with the touring and sport package and I am really glad we got that as I am very happy with the extras it offers.

Thanks for compliment on the photo...I was driving to work, it was such a beautiful day I pulled off on a side road and took some pics with my i phone.

Great choice. Sport touring is the way to go if not a Nismo. Congrats.
