What's your daily driver and how does it compare to your Z?

I bought a little Hyundai Veloster R Spec turbo in April. Did a few breathing tweaks. Fun little car with decent mileage. I jump from that into my NISMO and it's a different world..the Z is immediate in everything and stiff..love it! The Veloster is great for the commute, quiet, Sirius and a back seat for the grandboys.

Been a Datsun/Nissan owner/advocate continuous since '77 with my first Datsun B210 fastback 4-spd. Then, an '83 Datsun 4x4 KCab pickup. Now my daily is a '97 Maxima 5-spd I bought in '00. Still drive it most days, still love it at 185k miles. 197-hp VQ engine same family as my '12 370z. Have no reason to change from Nissan...value and reliability.

Wifes '14 is250 fsport is our DD, its an auto, has leather seats and is pretty comfortable. Weekday traffic is awful here in PR, and since we work in the same place we carpool

No comparison with the Z, heavy, slow, takes a lot of time to pick up speed and only gets about 22 mpg

On the upside, respectable braking and front grill/bumper looks great to me

My Z is my DD, I have my tow pig 2000 F250 for when the weather sucks. The Z is easier to park and more fun to drive, but it is nice to listen to the turbo spool in the truck.
