Do your research before you buy - the Z has a great history and the 370z is no exception Test drive and compare with other cars IMO, maintenance is not

IMO, maintenance is not bad on Nissans. They are very reliable.

It will definately get you attention but does not guarantee that it will land you girls just like that. Like another user noted, YOU have to make your own move too.

Many people will tell you that the paint is horrible. It swirls easy; it seems like it is very thin. On my black Z the paint seem pretty good, however, I dont DD my Z and it is kept in the garage. On top of that I take very good care of it washing it often and waxing it. I spend a lot of time detailing my Z, especially since it is black.


As far as maintenance goes, I could not tell you. Again, I use my Z as a weekend car so I have limited info on this. Tires depending on brand and or quality can be around 800-1400$ for a set of 4 I believe. Oil changes, about 70-90$ if done at the dealership (probably much cheaper if you DIY). Gas, on average I do about 14-16 mostly city, 16-19 city/highway, and 22-24 straight highway.

anyways, good luck!

I have both and daily both cars here and there. I love Honda and like civic SI’s. If build correctly they are fun and cheap. When I mean cheap I’m talking about CHEAP GAS, TIRES, PARTS, OIL. The Z is a man’s car. Power, handling, style, aggressiveness is what you get with the Z. Down shift you’re out! It’s wide and mean and gets plenty of looks. If you love cars and can afford it you can’t go wrong with this 2 seater.
