Same here. I Bought my Z about a week ago. I was driving my Titan everyday.

Getting a DD is like having a mistress. I love my wife and my Z so I don't need a DD. There are folks in Canada using their Z as a DD so if you love being in your Z, just put good winter tires on and use it. On the rare days when it's really bad outside, call a taxi or call in sick, sit in your Z in the garage.

Winter driving in Canada, especially in Quebec is absolutely brutal for one main reason. They still use good old-fashioned road salt which will turn your brand new Z into iron oxide powder sooner than you think. No Z deserves that fate. I'll keep my '16 Nismo safe and sound in my garage while the white sh*t falls (can you tell I hate winters?).

PS: You should see what my DD '10 Mustang looks like after 5 Canadian winters. You'd think it went through a corrosive acid bath underneath and along several body panels...........LOL. Let's not even talk about the aluminum hood.

I have an 80 series land cruiser lifted with big tires and a couple other things. Exact opposite of the z. And an 04 i35 for driving to work when its cold. ...

2010 civic lx coupe on rpf1's as dd, 370z for the weekends

I had a dart too, the rallye, until it was totaled. I actually enjoyed driving that car a lot. The MPG thing is true though, you never get close to what is advertised.

My Z was my DD for years, but I'm much happier with a cheap econobox for a daily driver. Cheaper to run and a warranty is pretty nice. Not to mention I can park close to places and not have a panic attack wondering if someone gives me a door ding while I'm in the grocery store.

I have a 2005 Jetta TDI that just turned 100k miles I use as my DD. How does it compare to the z? It's lame compared to the Z, and I haven't even gotten my Z yet!

Comparison : TDI pollutes 40x legal limit

Sad but true, but it was VW that cheated not me. Plus this is an 05 so it was produced before all that emissions regulations stuff happened. Still not getting rid of a perfectly good car that gets 50+ mpg.

2015 Murano Platinum. It compares in that it, like the 370Z roadster, has been flawless. These are the first Nissans I've owned and the first cars to have zero rattles. (Rattles are kind of a pet peeve. People who try to spit through chain link fences are another pet peeve.)

I'm considering selling my Mazda3 come the springtime and using the Z as my DD. It's too fun to drive which makes it hard for me to keep it garaged most of the time.
