Not been here too long but really surprised to hear about the lack of manufacturer support. Over on SeatCupra.net, Seat really get involved and so do pretty much the entire dealer network. Obviously with more affordable cars you're going to get more people loyal to the brand. Like others have posted, I've been invited to open days and unveiling events; they like to keep the customers wanting the next model and keep the customer base happy. So I'm definitely not a Nissan fanboy. My first and currently only Japanese car was a Mazda 323F 2.0 V6 ZXi which was a one of a kind car, and there was nothing else out there to touch it for style and practicality in a single package. Considering ultimately it's a 4 door FWD hatch, it drove fantastically well too. I wish they or someone else would develop something similar, but I guess that was a fashionable car then, for some reason that's all gone. But the 350Z is another pretty unique proposition, and that's why I'm hoping to buy one. In the same way that there's nothing to compete with the ol' Mazda, Nissan have the balance of this car right. Put it this way, for all of the research in trying to find an alternative to the 350Z, it all lead back to the Zed. And there's got to be some very good reasons for that. At the end of the day, people have voted with their wallet.

Hi guys. I'm from Peterborough and my current Z has only just been released this year and only has 2 wheels! Yes, it's a Z1000SX in ebony. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about moving away from a sports bike to something a little more comfortable, yet still looks the part and can get a move on. So why am I here? Wrong kind of forum surely?! Well I currently drive a Seat Leon Cupra, but am on the trail of a 350Z right now. If everything goes well, I'm hoping to pick it up on Saturday. More details on the actual car if/when I get it, but suffice to say it does have the GT pack. I was really after something that's going to be exciting to drive during all seasons when the bike doesn't come out much at all. Without throwing huge sums of money at a newer car, this has the kind of performance I'm after, and yet isn't going to cost horrific amounts of money to run, albeit about another 45% on top of what my Leon is currently costing me. I think for the rewards that the car potentially can offer the driver, it's most definitely worth it. Bear in mind that a good friend of mine drives a Mitsubishi GTO 3.5 twin turbo MR, and yes it's 170+ MPH, but it's also 17 MPG on a run! Crazy. I can't imagine that's it's going to be any more fun than this realistically. I've been looking around here for a few weeks now so decided to join as there's a lot of useful stuff here and knowledgeable people. Go easy on me as I haven't even driven one of these babies yet, but I've already been riding fast bikes for years so it should be quite easy to drive once I've got used to how Nissan set them up. Cheers
