Not that they all are but mine was (about 4K a year in repairs mostly electrical). And the 350z has two big cojones and loves to show them off.

I guess if you can't handle the S2K, a Z is a worthy cruiser.

Though the allure of a fat fixedtop 2-seater escapes me.

My dang teacher drives one of these (in silver...really clean and it's a stick!)...I remember the first day she got it...I was getting in my car and then all of a sudden i hear a car next to me revving and I was thinking "Who the f...."...and when I turned around she waved at me and peeled off....hah...

Love the sound of these though...btw...Is it just me or do all Nissan's and Infiniti's sound the same (I know they're pretty much the same in some way...but all their SUV's, cars, and all sound the same to me now with that nice growl)?

yes, Infiniti and Nissan are the same company, just like Toyota and Lexsus.
And they don't know sound the same, they sound similar, but not the same.

Correct me if im wrong but the SUV G35 and 350z are practically running on the same identical motor.

I drove the 335i and that is a fun, torquey and GOOD LOOKING car... i love it.

Nice Z btw. I test drove a new one but ended up with the CLK55. The Z is a fun ride.. and contrary to others, I much prefer it over the G35.

I've always wanted a Z. so fun in the summer time. You didn't pick up the 07model ya? The dual intake sounds a bit better than the prior ones. Good pick though, just pay close attention to your tranny and rear tires.

That's interesting....I went from a Track model 350Z to my Mercedes. But I wouldn't call the C class a POS when the Z had a lot more problems. Congrats, it's a fun car if you don't mind the plastic interior and no class. If you think the Z has ***** then you've never owned a real sports car.

A Nissan, haha, really a Renault using the Nissan badge. Never touch any Nissan in a million years after my lemon law case with Infiniti (which I won in court BTW, amazing, that any car manufacturer would actually go to trial). But if I did have to buy a Nissan (assuming every other car company in the world closed up), I would definately have gotten the G35, better looking, seats 4 in a pinch and service loaners.

I agree that MB is very unreliable but certainly no POS, just quirky. I think people buy MB without doing the research on their reliability ratings and then are dissapointed. Not me, I'm used to one after another of unreliable MBs so I was shocked when my current C230 has been so reliable for almost 3 years. Of course our SLK more than makes up for it....
