cept eatin pb&j three times a day :icon17:

that is NOT a bad thing. that's what i survived on as a kid. well, cereal too.

I agree. The 370z is crap stay away from it lol

Wow...are you serious with that comment?! The G is what it is, its a luxury coupe, it's not trying to be a sports car. To the OP, it sounds like you're more interested in luxury than you are with performance. If so, the G sounds like the car for you.

im not big on luxury items in cars so id stick with the Z ;)

True. Or, own both. :tup:

both!

no great debate here...get the Z and the wife as well as u will both me happy.

The G is supposed to be faster according to Road & Track I've read somewhere. So I wouldn't say the G isn't sporty or doesn't have performance.

But, I went with the Z ! It was soo hard though. Felt like i was loosing my Old' Yeller. But definatly happy with my Z.

The kicker was being young and getting a race-car now. Luxury car later when we are older and hopefully have more money to afford a brand new one.

:iagree:

Age is no longer determinative regarding the Z. I'm 61 years old and just bought a new 370Z to replace my last "hobby car," a beautiful 1995 Miata M I bough new and am keeping, now with classic plates. My only concession to age was getting the automatic tranny, in anticipation of possible knee problems during the years of ownership of my 370Z. But when dealing on "upscale" sports cars like the Z, middle age does not disqualify---it actually makes it easier to afford such toys, since the kids are all educated, grown, self-supporting and looking at "hobby cars" of their own.

Tough Decision, did you look for a G37C with an automatic. That would satisfy you guy's needs, good luck on your decision!

I can comment on this, as I have both a Z (just picked it up today though!) and a 2008 G35x Sport (4 door).

Based off of my *very* brief Z ownership thus far... If I had to have one, it'd be the Z. Nothing feels quite like a true sports car, and the Z is a true sports car in every sense of the term. That said, the G is infinitely more practical, rides a lot smoother, and has a gorgeous interior with room, all of which may be important later in life. As someone said before, the steering in the G is quite a bit lighter, and while it has great road feel, it doesn't feel like a true sports car.

In sum, they are both awesome - But knowing your situation, the Z would win in my book.

Ok, i found my NEW LOVE! Forget the G or the Z , Go V!!:driving::happydance:

Haha, I turned my Z into service department today and they gave me this loaner. But I drove that V like a Z. I was passing people going 80mph.

007mech I think you made a solid decision in keeping the 370.

It's funny how so many of us here are currently (or have been at one time) debating between owning these 2 cars....like I said, I'm even debating the same colors you had! The only diff is that the 370 I'm considering is a 6spd touring/sport, not a base/sport.

Anyway, I think I'll be going with a 370 as well.....90% sure anyway. LOL

Good Choice, I think. I would have preferred a newer car to a used for the same price, albeit without all the amenities. Luxury cars can be for later in life.

It's not like he's guna destroy the 370z if he picks the g37 lol...

lol

Z:rock:

keep the z, boot the G

The deal breaker for me would have been that the G was used while the Z was new. New = better :tup:

never liked the G37C's ever since they screwed up the design on the production model... i was pretty much sold when they first released the concept. since i already own a G35C that would've been my natural choice. i still have my G35C.

sell the G37C, keep the 370Z.

[QUOTE=sinceday1;317352]I'll have to agree with 370zsteve on that one. I dont understand what really constitutes as a 'mid life crisis' and whether it really exists! it's an urban myth in my book! :tiphat:


I just finished a Developmental Psychology class in Nursing and we learned that a "mid-life crisis" is a MYTH. It was on a test. :) lol... They also claim that "Empty Nest Syndrome" is also a MYTH. I'm more likely to suffer from the latter than the former. My 370Z isn't a mid-life crisis since I've had a 240Z, 280Z, 300ZX..I just love me some Z's :)

Edited to say: I did test drive the G37 coupe and the G37 convertible...But the Z won. :)

Easy! Your wife keeps the AT one, and you keep the MT one! NO problemo! Congrats on either or both--I like both, but own an AT 350Z, till death do us part!

Yoda said, "To Z or not to Z that is the question" Choose other than the Z and you will enter the Dark Side....:eek: There is only one choice for the force to be with you.:driving: :driving: :driving: :driving: :driving:

Alright, antbear, now THAT was a good one!

I had a G35C, and I thought the styling of the G37C was too feminine...I got rid of my 350Z for the G35C, and I never liked the G35C other than the looks...I was planning on purchasing another 350Z, but was holding out hoping the G37C would perform better than the G35C...however, when I saw the G37C, it totally changed my mind...the concept pictures looked promising of an aggressive redesigned, but when I actually saw the first photos of the car, I thought Hyundai took over Infiniti...I was hoping that I would like it in person, but no dice...

the design of the G37C seems to gear towards either the older crowd or the feminine crowd. It's kinda like what Lexus did with the SC...

I'm nearing 60 and I've just liked hot/stylish cars all my life. Any affordable 2-seater (well, except maybe not a Miata... :ugh:).

I think they need the G at this stage of their marriage if they're only going to have a single vehicle. If they will have w vehicles, then I'd give more weight to the 2-seater.

[QUOTE=TamZ;338515]Because if that's you in the avie, then you're not old enough for the former... ;)

Yeah, I'm there too.....You pick your cars to support your current stage in life. There are just times when a Minvan or 4 seater are just plain necessary. I have the Z, My wife has an Element, though she'd rather see herself in a Miata... I can see the need for 3 cars in the future, to help her with her image needs, and to maintain the practicality of the current rides... Usually 3 cars for the two of us is the magic formula. I've had 3 Miata's in the past...I can see a fourth to round out the stable....You guys can laugh all you want, but they are awesome drivers..:tup:

3 cars for me and one car for her is the way to go. :p

LOL....:tup::tup:

I second that. ???

30k on an 08 is a lot. Go with the Z, even though it is an automatic...

Don't knock the Miata. I've owned a 1st-gen and it's an awesome ride. Brilliant handling at any price-point...

In fact, I'd take a hard-top MX-5 over a Z4 for half the price!

You haven't bought the damn car yet?

Been done.
Bought it couple of weeks ago. But the debate between the both would help others to make a decision too.
