How will you own your Z ?

I bought my '14 NISMO new (in April '14)...have had it now for 2 1/2 years. I've only got 780 miles on her so far. I'm going to keep it

I'm in for the long haul. I never vehicle hop, I always hold on to vehicles for a long time.

This is what attracted me to the car, love the cockpit. It's a fun toy. But if you really want a spartan car, get a Lotus. Would love an Evora, but I think it would cost far more to keep it running. The Z is really simple to work on & rather reliable. That's 2 big pluses right there A lot of bang for the buck when you have a car that will rail corners & still be able to get the rear end silly when you want. Is it perfect, no but it fits the bill for me & will for years to come.

YMMV

WOW 780 mi. I love the fact the miles are soooooo low & believe me I would be first in line ( shoving everyone else aside ) to buy it..... BUT don't you just want to drive it? My drive to work is a lot more fun in my Z !

I must say, it is an exercise is self control to not driver her more. When it comes to the morning commute, my mind is usually focusing on what I'm going to be doing at the office...and consequently, I'm not concentrating on 'the drive'. Racking up the miles on the Z sitting in traffic is something I decided I wasn't going to do long before I purchased the car. I'd much rather save the miles for when I'm 100% concentrated on the pure driving experience.

Plus, every time I get in it to drive, I feel like I'm driving a new car!

I agree, I did not buy this car to be a commuter, just another toy I don't have enough time to enjoy

Yep, it helps to keep the experience fresh
