370z as a first car

More likely than not, you'll run your first car into things like curbs, mailboxes, and maybe other cars. When I started driving, it was enough knowing that I may scratch the paint or the wheels on our old family car. I'd suggest getting a lot of time behind a more forgiving car at first to get used to driving around through traffic and then move on to a more powerful car when you feel comfortable driving your car at the limits.

+1 for the FR-S, BR-Z making a pretty good first car, along with the Miata. They handle very well while not having as much power to get you into trouble fast. Nothing wrong with starting with the family sedan either. Much more practical and less of a burden to not ding it.
