i test drove one, loved it however it's too sporty for me...i'll consider a car like this when i have enough money to manage 3 cars
no room in the back, i have a lot of equipment to carry and it won't fit in that small arse trunk

if you get an automatic though...I seriously hate people who get auto z's...such a waste T__T
it's a pretty good all around car, affordable, but doesn't really excel in anything, but performance can always be altered =]
ooh, the 07 has more power though! 306 hp under the new SAE rating, and 268 pounds per ft. of torque....and an ugly, ugly, hood.

If you're really wondering how he (Tetra) looks...click; although I highly advise that you don't-- for your sake.

the track/touring is a bit more expensive with brembo brakes and also intake and exhaust variable valve timing for a 300+ hp engine. it's not bad for the money as the car can roll 13 seconds quarter mile, if driven optimally. the only drawback is the 2 seater, crappy nissan paint and quality control (blame the french and renault for that). otherwise, if you can admire the puppy dog looks, above average performance and crappy build, you'll be a winner! the automatic versions are slightly detuned without the exhaust variable valve timing, however the car can hold a bit on its own in the performance department.
imho, if i had a choice in nissan's FM platform, i'd go with the all new g35 sedan. it's purrrrty.
neener neener... can't catch me~!

if i had the moolah to buy a new car i would get a 350z or an evo9. not very practical for me cause i'm not crazy rally racer or anything but i like them nonetheless. And about the evo being a good daily driver... i think in regards to gas mileage it has like one of the worst... rivaling the rx8, like less than 20mpg?

as long as you don't have a heavy foot and aware of the fact that the roads are slick you'll be fine.
Most of the models have a traction control system which might help, but i can't say for sure as i've only driven one so many times.
If you are going to get the 350Z, I would learn how to drive manual (if you already don't know how)
Maintaining the car and getting used to it would be top priority.
All in all, if you are going to drive around people, I would highly suggest getting the G35
Hope this info helped
