Gas Mileage

nmjaxx9

I hear that, mine is a daily, as long as it doesnt snows shes out. I have 31k in a year and 2 months, talk about racking up miles, I should invest in a DD

congrats on the milestone!!

mick

i leased a Beetle for DD.
i thought it was a good idea at the time :-O
when my lease is up next year, I plan to get a muscle car (probably a Mustang 5.0) for DD

nmjaxx9

No anything but a mustang!!! JP do what you got to man, atleast get the 2013 GT500 though thats some serious ponys under the hood.

mick

haha.
another idea i have is to get the 2014 Corvette C7 when it comes out early next year and make the 370z a DD :-)

now I like the sound of the vette better, but then again I am a Nissan guy all the way I don't like chevys or fords. Just something American muscle ehh, JDM all the way bro.

mick

i used to buy only German cars. before I got the Nissan, when our family got together, the parking area would look like a Mercedes-Benz dealer's lot :-O

You know on youtube, there's a video on the Lamborghini Countach and the reporter said before one dies, he should own/drive a car with 12-cylinder engine.
A Lamborghini 12 cylinder engine is out of my budget but American car with V-8 engine producing over 400 HP is within it. So I figure why not

mick

my last German car before I switched to Nissan.
At the time, the dealer told me i had the only C320SS with a manual transmission in northern California :-O.
I special ordered it from the factory.
When i think about this car, i remember how slow it was compared to the 370z

Thats a great way to think of your previous car

Mercedes looks good though.

I think your Benz is a beautiful car. But it just looks plain to me..

No offense. Im sure it cost you double or triple what the Z did.

But anyways, i just feel like I could never drive a benz. Maybe a c63 !

mick

yep, I agree, it's very conservative looking.
i like the look of the 370z much better
but of course one is a sedan and the other is a sports car
so they can't really be compared to each other, styling wise

they cost about the same but the Mercedes was way more
expensive to maintain. Every time it went in for service
the minimum charge was over $200.

Near the end, One side of the bi-xenon lights
went out and they charged me $1,500 to fix it.

I believe it got about the same gas mileage as the 370z, maybe a little bit better in the city

How's the reliability been for so many miles?

Got it with 41 miles, so far no issues or complaints, gotta love VQ engines.

So my drive is half highway until I get on base then its 40mph until i hit the 3 stop signs before work. I average 20-21 sometimes lower, and I don't really get on it. Is the Z's mpg calculator that far off? I see numbers like 24-25 average.
I didnt really buy the car for mpg, is it typical to fill up this car as a daily every week and half?

exball211

My average is 21.5 mpg and 25 mph on my 11 SP. I reset the gauge every week to monitor my driving and have gotten 24-25 without spirited driving. I go through a full tank every week.

I get 19-22 on surface streets and up to 28 on the highway if I'm really gentle to it lol. I'm eating a tank every 1.5-2 weeks, I drive about 20 miles/day give or take.
