Considering getting this... but I have a few questions
 
new here. nice to meet everyone. hopefully i will be a new 370z owner very soon. but i had a few questions and concerns i need help answered before i really consider buying.

1: how is this car for an everyday driver? i'll be going to open tracks and the likes with my friends once in a while but it will be mostly used as an everyday driver.

2: will this car do well in snow (i live in Chicago, Ill).

3. planning on getting the 370z Touring with sport package 7AT, how much should i expect to pay?

thanks guys

thanks for the reply. for my second question about the snow though, i was asking more about the ride height. is it adequate enough to be able to handle 6-12 inches of snow with no problems? thanks again

1. It's GREAT. I daily drive this car. Almost racked up 16,000 miles in 11 months. How long is your daily drive?

2. Straight from the dealer, it won't do well at all since it comes with Summer Tires. But if you put some winter tires on the car, it handles snow just fine. You can take a look at this video or thread.

With Blizzaks, you can tackle up to 4-5" of snow. Anything more, you need a SUV. No RWD will handle snow more than 5" because the front bumper will not clear the snow.

3. Why not start with an invoice price and work your way up? :tup:

Good luck man. If you have ANY other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I drive the car everyday, I absolutely love it.

You will need snow tires.

I paid under invoice for mine.

It IS a RWD so it wont do very well on snow anyway

true, but im willing to sacrifice that for when summer comes lol. so, guys, i just searched for winter tires, ALL-SEASON tires will work just as good in the snow right?

Vegitto-kun 03-12-2010 01:31 PM

as far I know they are alot better than summer tires but winter tires are alot better.

my megane had all season tires. they still got stick and slipped quite alot

If you have decent snow tires RWD vehicles get around just fine.

Use common sense, drive for the conditions.
