Thinking about selling the Z

The old Eclipse handles as well as a new Beetle. I still say go for a Beetle Turbo. Heck, it's more of a chick magnet than a Z, look at how many chicks are driving it

this is quite true. I drove 370z Nismo to work for about 5 months. the male co-workers liked the car. Only one female co-worker ever told me she liked the car.

then I stopped driving the 370z and got a New Beetle for daily commute. Five or six women told me they liked that New Beetle

The only attention the car gets is usually other dudes.

For the most part, I think you're right, although I've received compliments from people of both genders.

Generalizing here, most women don't care enough about performance cars or driving to even know how special a Z is, and most men care only enough to know what a Z is. Every once in a while, you get an enthusiast of either gender who recognizes and enjoys the car enough to compliment it. But you also get compliments from non-enthusiasts who just recognize that it's a nice car.

I get way more female VERBAL compliments on the car than men. But, men tend to stare at the car more like they really like it.

The funny part is the new Beetle was redesigned to be manly with it's new NAZI helmet design. lol.
