I agree with all of the above statements. And I like the feel, harshness if you will, of the motor. That's just me, though. I also like the engine noise

And I like the feel, harshness if you will, of the motor. That's just me, though. I also like the engine noise that reverberates to the inside of the car. Used is always an option if you're strapped for cash as well. Some great choices here on the forum classifieds.  Hope that helps! And  Also, clutch is always replaceable with a better aftermarket choice.

Being a Nissan repairs and parts are a fraction of the cost of what you would pay with say a comparable German "sports car" I believe some people stray away from the car being that it is more "stripped down" meaning more rawness in the drive and not all the luxury items standard like heated seats and navigation (although they are offered in some models) you will get used to the shifting it is a lot different than most other cars. Overall they are reliable and a great bang for the buck!

The z and q50 are two entirely different cars obviously. My question is, which vehicle best suits your needs?

JDubya summed it up pretty well. Bang for the buck, it's hard to beat. I've owned several that we're more expensive, and all in all, this car stacks up very well. It's certainly not the most refined in some areas, but the engine is stout, I think the tranny is fine for the application, and I think it handles as well as both my Vettes did.
Do your homework, and make a decision. In the end, it's just a car after all. |
