to buy or not to buy, that is the question

I bought mine new in May 2012. Now at 29000 miles. I have a beater but tend to drive this daily. You should buy something else. It attracts too much attention, everyone wants to race you, it handles like a go kart, tires are expensive, the temptation to mod does not end. Get a brz, a mustang, or a camaro.

OP, def spring for the sport pkg and the touring pkg IMO.

Lol. Glad you see the humor in it.

She'll be one year old next week and she's just passed the 21,000mi mark. I DD her and it's a great car to DD, even if the MT is a PITA in traffic (as any MT is).

Some people just move through cars quickly - I know several like this. They keep their cars for a couple of years, then get another and repeat the cycle (with far more expensive vehicles than a Z too).

So true.

Though, I haven't really gotten a lot of attention or anyone wanting to race me yet.

I DD my '09 Touring. Somewhere around 23K on the odometer. I love it. Not cheap to keep (premium gas, expensive tires, &c) but well worth it if you can afford it.

Many ppl only drive on weekends and/or store their Zs during the Winter, hence, many have low mileage.
