Absolutely. Haven't had mine long but since I love it more and more every single day I have it, I can only be led to believe that this would be an absolute yes.

Having just recently purchased mine (Dec '12) I'd honestly say that I wish I'd have bought it sooner.

Anyone with leather grey interior have any regrets? It's hard to keep clean and the seats are starting to show creases in it. I should have went with cloth interior

Your '09 is just starting to show creases?! Wow. Pretty good I'd say. My Acura started showing creases after my first drive. This interior is superior to many luxury class cars I've seen in sub $60k range.

I just posed the same question to myself but in a different way. do I want to keep my Z or do i find myself wanting something different. I had to figure this out before i started any mods.
I thought about a vette, but actually think the z is better looking. so why would i consider the vette to a z, power. the only thing i think the z could use more of, is power. its a perfect car otherwise in my opinion.
So the Z has a strong aftermarket support system and has a good base to start with so my choice was to begin to mod it. no regrets and with each new mod i feel like im getting a new car

Yes I would buy another Z. For my driver skills it is a great car for me. I don't know if I could ever extract ALL the performance capabilities out of this car. For me its the ideal car to cruise to work on sunny days and beat it on the track on the weekends.

A nice IS350 is just too expensive for the performance you get out of it. The transmission is just plain bad too. The paddles don't shift when you want them too. Out of all the comparable automatic cars I drove, nothing shifted like the Z, nothing handled like it, and nothing was as comfortable or as fun to drive. Winning package all around.

Also, it's super fun to mod. IS350 has like no performance mods available I believe.

Absolutely. While it doesn't excel at any one thing, it does everything well. When I was shopping I narrowed it down to vette and Z. I felt those were the best sports cars in my range. Ultimately I chose the Z because I could not get over the c6 vette's interior build quality (or lack thereof) for the price. The Z may be down in the hp wars, but it still holds its own given that its practically unchanged since 2009. Since the GTR, Nissan seems to have forgotten about the Z....shame really.

For the same money yes. If spending $20k more then I'd probably be driving a cayman s.

im not sure i like the cayman. i drove one a while back and it was a bumpy ride in my area. the intake and engine sounded good though. felt like the car was really breathing and all, like alive.

370Z > Cayman for me.
