My question to you guys is besides the obvious enjoyment of the Z, do you guys ever wish you went with something a bit more practical? I can see where the Z would be a fantastic and ideal weekend fun car, but on a more day to day basis what are your opinions? Sorry if this has been discussed before and I look forward to your guys insight!

Thanks!

Anything is better than a "Dakota"!

I too longed for a Challenger. I went with the Z because I know the quality is way better with Nissan vs. Dodge. This coming from a guy who had a '69 Charger for ten years. Yes, I love me some MOPAR. I don't regret it. I do think the Challenger is hot but it's a polished turd....plus you really should have a mullet if you own one....I think it's the law.

It's a fun car for me. If it's going to be your only car you need to ask yourself how often you will want to or need to have more than one passenger or you will need to haul things that wouldn't fit in the Z. Once you answer those questions the answer to what car should be easy. Good luck.

I love my dakota! Toss my hunting or fishing stuff in the back, golf clubs and your good to go. I will have my truck still, so that will be for hunting,fishing obviously but I have read you can have your clubs in the z, so that is good as I do hit the links quite often.

I don't have kids, I'm 22 and figure now is about the only time that a car like the z would be alright before I get all the responsibilities and have to have certain cars to suit needs. I usually don't haul more than either my gf or one person around anyway, so passenger space is not that big of a priority. I was just asking in terms of general day to day stuff, not to see if I was able to compromise to be able to swing it. Just wanted some opinions from people that own them.
