I used to have an 07 Acura TL as my daily and my gsxr-600 as a weekend toy. I ended up trading the TL in on a Z and now am stuck with 2 toys. Obviously the Z wins out as being the more practical of the two so I DD it.

Mine is not a DD, but get plenty of use on the weekend and sometimes during the week after work.

One of the reason is I don't use it most of the days is the construction all over this damn base.

My Z is my DD and Ive been avging 20.9 mpg after having it for 3 months now, its fine for a DD. Gotta get my first oil change here soon. It's perfect for all my needs, when everyone complains about things, they aren't being realistic.

Not alot of cargo room? - It handles anything I would need on a Normal day. (Hence Daily Driver) When I go to the grocery store, I don't even fill up the 'trunk' space and still have the passenger seat to put stuff. Now if your talking cargo as in I can't put furniture in it, well then this is why I wouldn't take a Z to a furniture shop to pick up furniture... Just common sense here. :ugh2:

Mine is my DD and track toy. Does just fine unless I want to go where there is snow or take more than 1 person with me somewhere. 19.5 avg. fuel milage for my mixed driving...but I have a very heavy foot.

I can't believe you would even consider driving your Z into DC. That is car suicide, as well as expensive..

just my .02


Thanks for your response

Metro ing is how I got away w/out a car for a few months now. I have parking at work, not ideal but can find good spots....
I have driven into the city for the past 3 years now just not in a z like car... I will keep my fingers crossed if I do end up driving in the city..

a. you can't carry a lot of luggage, but it does fit a lot more than you think it could.
b. only room for 2, this could be a plus or minus

a. dont really care .....
b. always a PLUS

I upgraded my daily driver from a tC to my Z. Couldn't be happier.

If I didn't have an SUV as a second vehicle, I'd feel a little different of course. I still go grocery shopping, take trips, and even picked up grass seed and fertilizer in my Z!

My 370Z is my daily driver, 60+ miles per day. 22,000 miles on the car so far.

Its great as a daily driver.

3SeventyZ 06-09-2010 09:33 AM

yep i drive it all the time

yellowZ 06-09-2010 09:33 AM

The Z is my only car, however I also have a motorcycle. As for it being a daily driver - I travel during the week and drive rental cars - so for all intents and purposes its a Friday + Weekend car. Somehow I still rack up the miles. Probably b/c everything is bigger (read further apart) in Texas.

its awesome to know that so many ppl use the Z as a DD. I had a tC that was totaled 3 years back or I would have been upgrading also!.
