The Z is not necessarily a practical car even for single people. It is an awesome weekend car but as a dd somtimes can be inadequate. But he is so cute/sexy I'm gonna hold on to him a bit longer!

FWD's make for good slippery road cars too.
I haven't had the opportunity to drive it in snow, but I find the Z to be pretty sure footed for a RWD car. Modern traction control is a nice thing. In the old days RWD+snow = goes everywhere but where you point it ![]()

It is, winter tires makes all the difference. I've put on 10's of thousands of miles in the winter in the rocky mountains with out a problem, people just need to learn to drive their cars, both FWD and RWD Hell even the 4X4 crowd. I see more 4x4's in the ditches here in the winter then anything else.

![]() i find that the majority of the 'in-the-ditch' moments are the SUV's like the rx350, mdx/rdx, x3 etc etc. the laws of physics are not kind to those kinds of drivers. |

I've had my Z now for 3 years. I use it as my DD (I live 4 miles from work), and I live in Orlando, so the only weather I have to watch for is monsoon rains. A good set of tires takes care of that, as long as you don't get crazy.
It's isn't the most practical car I've ever owned, and there have been times where having it has caused issues. But I have access to a 3/4 ton Dodge Ram diesel mega cab that I use whenever I need to move stuff/people, so one could say that having that makes life easier. I thoroughly enjoy having my car though, and plan on keeping her for some years yet. If and when I finally do give her up, she will be well broken in for the new owner. ![]()
