Are you earning this car with your own money or is someone buying it for you?

Age doesn't matter so much as maturity, responsible driving, and being able to be take care of oneself. Neither age nor the car make the person.

I personally find no reason to pick 350z over a 370z if you can afford it. However, I will just say that most 17 year olds I know have horrible habits, skyhigh insurance, poor job(s), poor career, and need to protect their personal debt before they're in big trouble before even 21. Make sure the important things in life are being taken care of before the expensive toys.

Also, the Z looks great, but performance-wise is starting to show it's age. Just keep that in mind as well! (Then again, performance-wise, it's not like you can hit 8/10s of the Z on public roads anyway.)

wat are you talking about? if you can DRIVE a 350Z, you're elite status. they are the #1 killer cars according to consumer reports.

and you know, consumer reports is 100% accurate each and every time.

All I'm going to say is good for you if you earned you car its a great car and you will enjoy it but on the flip side don't come and post a week later after getting it that you bounced it off a curb or something like that.

If you already have a 2 seat sports car then buying another 2 seat sports car is a wash

Question is who is buying this car?

OP, I say if youre blessed enough to be able to drive a 370z then so be it. I just think in general being 17 and owning a 370z or any nice sports car is going to come with the "spoiled snot nose teen" stigma. Now how you react to it can either make or break your image within a car community or forum such as this. Humility will always take you a longer way and is more respected in every aspect of life; as opposed to some young guys of your age group who try to come on here and boast or claim they've worked "So hard" to get their car. I would also say that no matter how much you tell people you wont drive like a "ricer" or drive like fast and the furious everyone is going to relate to their own experiences from being young once and probably having a car accident in their time. Hell when I was 16 my first car was a 95' beat to sh!t toyota camry. One day driving I thought that I could reverse like a champ and at higher speed. I ended up hitting a mailbox and in a panic of thinking I put the car in drive i hit the gas again to only keep going in reverse and hit a parked car (I honestly was a Sh!tty driver at that age). Luckily my car was a hooptie already but i did have to replace the mailbox and pay for the other damaged car. So unless you're Richard Petty's son and you were born behind a steering wheel you're still going to have alot of real world driving experience to obtain and the Z might not be the perfect car for that in my honest opinion. But more power to you if you can afford it or have family willing to help pay for it. If you get the car enjoy it and try not to do anything too stupid or atleast save it for a track day or something. Nice bimmer by the way and welcome to the forums.

I think someone in your walk of life is more suited for the 350z. The z4 is not in the z car line so you would be "staying" with the z car line. You would simply be moving to the z car line. Why oogle eyes over a 17 yr old driving a bmw? Justin beiber had a lamborghini at 17 do you think your special? Every trailer park around my area has at least 1 brand new bmw parked next to a double wide. Then again i live 5 miles from the bmw north america factory.

Best peace of advice youll find on here is save your money and go to college.

OP should really be in a simple car while he is in school and then get a Z when he can afford it with his own money like most of us have done
