My '98 Mustang GT Convertible was far worse, and the soft top made it very wind-noisy too. The Z feels like I'm floating on a cloud in comparison.

Dear NickNick,

Have you heard the engine in the Nissan?

Driving your Mazda too many times must have caused your ears to malfunction. They make some of the most uninspiring engines ever to grace the earth, their soundtrack is between irritating and just intrusive. Maybe you should use the raw Z as your vibrator, seeing as you are so stuck up and rude toward opinion other than yours.

I wonder if that's his "F430 Spider" in his avatar. It looks like a 10 year old Honda Civic Si to me.

No reason to be dissing on peoples' rides now.

An Si driver poking fun at a Miata driver in a 370Z forum? Good times lol.

OP: I had a feeling you'd be more comfortable with something new rather than pre-owned. I'm the same way, almost to a fault.

don't know what it is like in USA but here in Aus, mostly men drive mx5's and curiosly I have noticed a large chunk of women driving cars like z4 and slk's etc. I guess the mx5 is a little too raw. BTW i am married. mx5 is a girls car=myth, go drive a new one and see. anyway hope you could see past your childish observation and understand what I was getting at. Saving to buy a Zed

I've driven an MX5. Is it girlie? I dunno; don't much care, either. I had fun driving it. It was a fun car, but I wished for more power. If I were in the market for an open roadster for my wife and I to tool around in on nice weekends, I don't think I'd count it out. However, I'm not in the market for a car that my wife needs to approve of. I am in the market for a car that is just a "sensory overload," and my time spent behind the wheel of that 370Z was an automotive orgasm.

Perceptions are just that. Drive an MX5 and you'll love it. I also had a modded 240z and thwat was brutal. I am also looking forward to eventually purchasing a 370z. Am I a girly man, gtfo.

When I was your age I was 50/50 on the Porsche 911 and the 450Sl. For what it's worth, Bimmers and MBs are for older people. That's what I was told by friends and relatives. I work in West LA and all you could see are MBs, Bimmers and Astons.

So I went for the 911. Get the Bimmer when you are working for a corporation or non-family business.
Pls no flame.

Btw, I was in the market for an M3 before seeing the Z!

Good luck finding unbiased arguments from either forums because most likely they will be repping the car they drive. My opinion is that you should just go test drive them both, because words can't describe how a car feels as you drive it around, the feel of power when you hold onto the steering wheel, etc. We could sit here and tell you the pros and cons of each car but ultimately you won't agree with all of our opinions and eventually it will come down to whichever car you want and willing to spend.

edit: btw I drive a 335i e92 because I Was in the exact same predicament as you. I just loved the feeling of the 335i although the 370z was up there as well but to me the 335i's torque was just too addicting.

Singularity · 10-04-2009, 10:53 PM

I say go for the Z:

You're young, you have no real need for a back seat
It'll be new, so you won't have any doubts about how it was treated before
Cheaper to maintain than the BMW
It's age appropriate? (lol, it's late and I'm tired so I don't know how to express that properly, but in my opinion a Z suits a young single guy better than a 335 does.)

Both cars are hot. You can't go wrong either way.

sloterg · 10-04-2009, 11:00 PM

i had quite a few choices myself n what i wanted for my next car..

the 335i was one of them.. now when im interested in a car.. i test drive and read up on them..

mostly on review websites and unbiased sources.. u go to a bmw forum more than likely ur gonna get more bmw votes and vise versa for the Z.. but if ur talking about UCIrvine and ur in cali.. i would go for the Z, irvine is a real nice area and im sure a commuting Z will be very nice to have. plus in the long run if u get a luxury car, be ready to pay for luxury repairs, thats the way i always saw it.. and if u get a used BMW be ready to service it sooner than later. so go for the Z

I vote for the 335.

With a cheap tune ($570) your adding 80hp/tq. The other performance mods aint that expensive either. Pretty large modding community too.

What are the 1/4mile times you z guys are putting down?
