cossie- that lease deal sounds good. as long as it's practical and charging and all makes sense, might be a good lease.

or just get a regular gasoline ecno-car for cheap and drive that till it falls apart. could be cheaper.

Juke Nismo is pretty comfy, better than our touring seats I think. Thing looks odd on the outside but grows on you lol

juke is nice, test drove one. but rear cargo is small with the rear seats up, the rear foot well is tiny too, even for little kids. not really a family oriented car imo.

ALMOST?!?!?! I have shot myself because of that hateful car. Second worst fucking thing I have driven. Number 1 was the Nissan Cube

Consider a Honda FIT (like somebody on the forum has. I forget who its white). Or consider a Honda Civic Si like myself and 6mt has. Great on gas, cheap to maintain and fun to drive with a lot of aftermarket support.

I still would like to see the payment at $200. Regardless, I am probably going to hold up for a few more months. Insurance is very expensive on the Leaf too, kind of annoying.

I get free charging at work (of course there could be a wait) and the place I am living at is installing them right now, of course they are getting so popular now that there is probably going to be a line in the near future.
I just picked up/leased a Juke for $204/month ($2k down - 36 months). It's quiet, comfortable and fun to drive. The gas mileage isn't great (getting about 24 so far) but it's better than the Z.

For what it's worth, having a DD only makes the Z that much more fun when I do drive it. And when it's raining or I know I have to park in crappy parking lots, I know the Z is safe at home in the garage.

i really liked how the SV (i think it was) drove when i test drove it. the clutch is light, 6MT, and just zipped around town. :) i also like the interior too.

but i have 2 kids and i need cargo space so didn't get it this time. also the dealer (which is the same nissan dealer that sold me my 370Z) was being an arse that day :mad: with new sales team and sales manager. maybe in the future.

I waited until my kids left home before I got a 2 seater. I'm going to drive my Z until it falls to pieces, fix it, and keep driving it daily until I die.
In your case OP a child needing a ride, I would get at least something with 4 doors. Just saying.

great advise.

from my experience, as long as the kid can buckle him/herself to the seat, a 2door would work. i speak from experience with my G35C.

things are fine on a sunny day. but in the rain, if you have to stand out there with the door open to buckle your kid into the rear seat in your coupe, that door could potentially short out from all the rain water. :ugh:

that's when i stopped using my G as dd.

but then my kids can now buckle themselves, so i use my G as my summer time dd. :) i have a hatch for winter and bad weather.
