On road trips over several hours the road noise plus radio volume to drown it out would make me feel like I had a cold, regarding ears stuffed with cotton feeling.

Maintenance wasn't an issue, but reliability was. Too much time in the shop. Too much"oh...that's normal for those..." from NNA.

Cost wasn't an issue as I knew what it cost before I bought it.

Space was an issue when I went out of town to see friends, and definitely would have been once I move where my friends are, but where I am now it never bothered me.

In short, it was a decent cheap sports coupe. Had lots of build quality issues and never really impressed me, but it also cost less than a Cayman S, as well. Overall, "meh" about sums my feelings up. But it was never really "a burden". My needs just changed and it's not a car I felt any real attachments to. Kind of like a spoon or fork. It got me from a to b most of the time and beyond that it was whatever.

Yes, yes it is...I'm going to trade it in for a Prius;)

1) Nope - way low enough
2) Nope - super low
3) Nope - Don't buy a car that takes premium if you cannot afford the gas
4) Nope - no kids / less people to bum rides off of me, and I enjoy watching people fight for the seat if not with wife :excited:
5) Nope - weekend car
6) Nope - weekend car
7) Nope - what noise?
8) Nope - stare but don't touch
9) YES - car is in storage, wife calls my PW Z the white hole. We make payments to some mystery car that isn't in our garage or drive way :roflpuke2::inoutroflpuke::bowrofl:

Great points

I would add that my only complaint about Z ownership is I can't help but mod the car which can become a burden :icon17:

1) My payment fits my budget.
2) Pretty damn cheap for someone my age and clean record helps.
3) Gas isn't too bad in Nashville. I'm getting 21.8 mpg in the Z currently.
4) LOVE the fact actually. I don't like people anyways:bowrofl:
5) What repairs? My 10' has 33k on it
6) I'm 6'4" and can get in and out without hitting my head. I'm happy!
8) Well I do drive a bright A** blue 370Z. What do you think?
9) Stay single my friends ;)

I don't have any real issues but, not getting Nav is something do I regret. :shakes head: It just looks SO damn clean!

I think your handle says it all for you.

LMAO but, of course :tup:

No burden. Love the Z. Tires are the only sort-of burden. They burn fast and are expensive. As a whole the Z itself is cheap to maintain. No repairs needed yet. It's been more reliable than my 12 altima 2.5s that had two warranty repairs for oil leaks. The Z remains solid.

It's a tough life but someone's gotta live it.

It is a burden because I have to park far all the time.

this car is so easy to work on and maintain yourself i dont even seen her being a burden i dont make lots of money but i can handle her just fine :tup:

yes, it's a friggin' burden for me.

can you pay for my insurance and gas...??




thank you


btw, you just won $500,000,000,0000 and the money is in a bank account in Nigeria.

Driving my nismo relaxes, fills me with joy after a hard day of work. :)

I don't mind this part.. Lol gives me more time to look back at her as I'm walking away.

I leased mine [option to buy] mainly because I don't know how much I want to spend on it [upgrades wise]. Ive only had mine for a month but I love it a bunch already and will be getting pipes and intake and a tune soon.

But to answer OP, no burden at all. its "relatively" inexpensive to own this car.
