Just bought a 350Z convertible and having read the thread agree with many points. Good points, the start up thrum and subsequent burble ( not quite V8 but close) the total tractability at low revs , the gearbox, my wife will come in it with me ( refused in a Boxster) , solid feel, for me enough performance ( same as Honda S2000 and only marginally below Boxster S and way beyond ubiquitous MX5) , impressive appearance and rarity in UK. Bad points, cheap interior, mine fabric seats which have poor quality bolster fabric and just look so drab, I'm 5ft 6" but how could any one above 5ft 10" drive my car which has no reach adjustment for the steering wheel.
Summary, for £5k I have a motor which is giving me a lot of pleasure.
