I wouldn't say most but deft a good percentage. But there are alot of young Americans that make decent money and can afford a car like this depending on their lifestyle. I. Myself got this car last year at age 23 and for what it is, this car is really not that expensive compared to the German luxury vehicles I see kids driving all the time. What makes this car unattainable for people in my age group is the insurance rate. They kill us!

I just turned 27 and was looking to buy a brand new 370z this year but after a lot of research and thought, I decided that I didn't want to spend $45k on a car to have it sit in the garage most of the week (I'm a consultant), in addition, the changes were so minor from a 2010 to a 2013 that it almost wasn't worth it so I began to look for a nice pre-owned one. I lucked out and found/bought a pristine 2010 Coupe 6MT + Sport + Touring + Nav with only 16k miles on it. It was also one of the last 2010s built (08/10), one owner, and well under my $45k budget for the new one, so that was icing on the cake. Only downfall is it's Black but it's growing on me. My ideal color is blue or white, but I wasn't as picky with color since I was going pre-owned and Zs equipped how I want it seem to be pretty rare in Chicago. Now that I have the Z- wife wants a new car.....women.... |
I bought my 370 vert in 2010 love it, also have a Shell Valley cobra and infinity m35x,I am 65 years young.

I find it interesting how 16-25 year olds make up a third of total buyers on this poll, considering the financial setbacks, owning a a $38k average priced car can impact a budget for a young person.
25-50 year olds make almost 60% of the z market while 10% is comprised of elderly owners. Though Z sales have not been stellar. I think Nissan did a great job at designing a car that was pleasing to the masses. The z in some angles has an immature racer look, while in other angles it has a mature supercar look. The demographic on this poll proves nissan design an overall success in attracting buyers of all age groups. Now Nissan just needs a platform where people will want to buy a Z. I think two pseudo-seats in the rear would bring down insurance costs and give people the illusion of practicality, which would sell more Z cars. PS No I don't expect the rear to fit human beings in the back. lol It's just for the insurance companies. |
wow, hate to be 60 and put along side someone 105yr old...
u old people, u all the same... it says... |
I thought i would be one of the only few around my age with a 370z. I worked my a** off to even obtain the idea of purchasing a 370. At the same time though, i bought mine through a family car business and paid MMR for the car. That also helped out alot, but that insurance is a real pain in my wallet.:icon14:

Also, as much as I would hate the Z to put extra "seats" I think you're right that it would help the car sell a lot more. |
i bought my Z after my 2nd kid was born. it was prefect timing to buy the Z.
kids can ride in my other cars. :icon17: |

The "EXCLUSIVITY" of owning a Z is killing Z development. Something I been stressing since 2011. Funny how no one cared then cuz they thought their Z's were the shyt. lol. Now chevy has a C7, the 1LE is kickin azz everywhere, Scion, subaru has their entries andGC keeps updating something yearly, ford has the stang series and now the ST series... NOW People are upset that the Z engineers aren't doin" shyt to boost Z sales. But due to our "EXCLUSIVITY" they EXCLUSIVELY don't have enough money. :roflpuke2: Now we gotta figure out different ways to make this shyt sell. Faux seats will help in the equation. |
I'd actually don't want Nissan to boost Z sales. Make it more competitive.....sure.....but I don't want a Z around every corner like the vettes. Vettes and Camaros are a dime a dozen by me.

i say if you want just a regular coupe, just get the mustang or camaro or genesis coupe or even the G37C.
i just dont want 4 seats on my sports car. i want my Z to be impractical. :tup: i own one because i can. |
I dont want a 60,000 unit annual selling coupe either, but if we can't hit that 15/20,000 annually. We not gonna have a Z. And we need 15k in sales in the USA to make it worth selling AND evolving.
If we sold 15,000 units a year, we'd still be 5 to 1 underdogs against one brand muscle car and 13 to 1 against all muscle out there. it would take 10 years to see multiple Z's a day at that rate. By the time it starts looking common. Here comes redesign in 6. The 350 still looks like a Hot car. I see them about 3x a week. Every now and then i see 3 to 5 in a day but thats when the freaks come out. 150,000 350'z sold in 6 years. Thats not alot. Camaro Sold 125,000 units in 2009. We wouldn't be common. |

then at 24 i upgrade to a 2013 370z |
I am 39 years young, but when I get into my Z, I feel like a 15 years young kid:excited:

How many errors? When I first saw this thread I acted before I read, and I selected the group that I thought was the average instead of selecting the group I am in. I picked a younger group.

So maybe I'm not quite up to Mad Mike's pedigree, but I'm working on it. BTW, I drive my Z's and there are no gaps in this list other than my first car which my Dad bought for me which we don't talk about.

ill be 70 in sept this is my last toy car ive had 5 roadsters this is by far the best and the fastest.:driving:
|
Just hoping, but figure they have to do it. Of course i could be wrong and it might be 450Z by then!
|
I dont think we'll see anything bigger than a 3.7 NA engine in the Z. I see smaller displacement and turbos.

My Wife says the same thing about the Pro Touring Hot Rod I have had for 30 years... I said I would die before selling it and I mean it... If I was to act my age I would have a Camry and that will NEVER happen... |
20.
I was 17 when people around me tried hard to convince me into "reality" - their vision that I will not see a nice sports car in my driveway till im an old fart, at which point ill have family, obligations, and a full time career to hinder any fun, stupidity, and adrenaline that runs through young veins, and any joy from owning such a "toy". Meaning unless I was born into money i should just drown my dreams. Pffffffffft. Full time college, electrical engineering major, part time job, unpaid internship, part time job, and a girlfriend of almost 3 years. I'm managing alright :) Oh and the Z came after an s2000. Both were my dream cars. :) |
