Nissan 370Z Forum  

If you had to do it over again, would you still buy the 370z??

Im debating if I should get he 370z or not... I really want a sporty car and my lexus is350 is not sporty enough...its quick but more luxury than sports.

I basically did it again in a way... I owned a 350z a few years ago and recently went back to the Z with a 370.

Z is a true sports car in every sense of the word.
Pure and simple.

Default bang for the buck

When I did my research it boiled down to the Mustang 5.0 or the Z

in this price range.

To get any more handling, or quickness you're looking at $40k+

I'm mulling a used Carrera or vette

I'm not sold on the Corvette look, but there's a new 1 coming soon.

If I can afford to get a better sports car I will

, but the Z is awesome at this price.

No Brainer.

The 370Z is the best value for dollar car that can be modded (or not) to the nines and still be a daily driver. Worth every penny I paid and the money I pay to the therapist in winter when I can't drive it....

In the $30K price range, the Z is the best sports car you can buy. Yes i would buy again.

But if i can afford, I would get a Cayman S in a heartbeat.

I think I would... can't say for 100% certain though.

However once my other car gets here I think I will love it more though.

I would get it again for sure. It's such a fun car to drive.

Its not the most practical car, but who cares!

The is350 is no match for the 370. The is350 was practically out of control* in front of me as we went down the hill together, I just used my gears to slow down and the brakes only to avoid rear ending him. If you don't pick the 370 at least get something that handles better.

* on the edge at any rate.
