The second test drive was, "OMG MUST HAVE."
I had a similar experience. Took two test drives and I was hooked. I'm 5'11 and find there is plenty of room in the car. The blind spots have taken some getting used to, but it has large mirrors. I've learned to hit the gas a bit before changing lanes in the highway to insure no one's in my blind spot. The Z accelerates quickly so it doesn't take much. I've averaged about 24MPG in my 1st and 2nd tanks of fuel with a 70/30 city/hwy ratio with some fun WOT bursts mixed in for good measure.

I'm blessed in that I have a couple of different cars to meet different needs, and having to pick just one would be a difficult decision.

However, based on the two you've chosen, I don't see a WHOLE lot of difference, and would definitely go for the Z in your situation.
