Some wives might bite when that's thrown out there and you'll hear them say "Go get the mistress and I'll go for the pool boy".

I would tell her. Get 2 pool boys. This way I can both the sports car AND the mistress.

I'm 26 got my first Z. I'm falling behind my brother had a 350z for 5 years so that would have made him 22 years old.

28 here or 29... Hmm. I'm honestly not sure.

I'm 31. My insurance is cheap very cheap because of my age.

27 here. Bought the Z as late birthday gift to myself about two weeks ago.

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 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.

I bought my Z just after I turned 21. However, I also graduated college at 21 and got my Public Accounting job at 21. It's not so much age, but where people are in life that really matters (besides the rich family where 17 year old kid has his car bought by his parents).

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 would rather it be a 2 seater as well. But...

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.

Now we gotta figure out different ways to make this shyt sell. Faux seats will help in the equation.
