370Z: Daily Driver or Weekend Car?

6MT

Not a daily driver for me. I commute 110kms everyday and sometimes I take the Z to work. Mostly I drive a Civic (47mpg).

Its my daily driver. It works fine for me. on a daily basis and it is my only car. I wouldn't NOT get it just because it would have to be your daily driver. i think its a perfectly fine DD

If you are considering any sedan with a v6, dont expect to do any better on gas in local driving.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!.
