Thought I'd better introduce myself (thanks xStric9x for the reminder!). I'm looking to potentially buy a 350Z having recently had my HSV GTS rear-ended and written off. I drove one at the weekend (an '05 GT) and to be honest was disappointed by the apparant performance and definitely the quality of the interior. I've been somewhat spoilt by owning a 300 brake Impreza, the HSV running 400 brake and then a 911 hire-car I was given and comparitively the 350Z felt like it lacked a serious amount of punch. In fairness it was quite a short drive, with a dealer sat beside me and I get the impression that it's a car you need to live with for a while to begin to appreciate its abilities - is that a fair comment? I just didn't jump in it, put my foot down and think sh!t thats quick..... and that interior, to be fair my '97 run-around mondeo is built better inside. It just did not feel like I was in a 30k-new car.....

Hi Guys
Thought I'd better introduce myself (thanks xStric9x for the reminder!). I'm looking to potentially buy a 350Z having recently had my HSV GTS rear-ended and written off. I drove one at the weekend (an '05 GT) and to be honest was disappointed by the apparant performance and definitely the quality of the interior. I've been somewhat spoilt by owning a 300 brake Impreza, the HSV running 400 brake and then a 911 hire-car I was given and comparitively the 350Z felt like it lacked a serious amount of punch. In fairness it was quite a short drive, with a dealer sat beside me and I get the impression that it's a car you need to live with for a while to begin to appreciate its abilities - is that a fair comment? I just didn't jump in it, put my foot down and think sh!t thats quick..... and that interior, to be fair my '97 run-around mondeo is built better inside. It just did not feel like I was in a 30k-new car.....
Any thoughts or comments gratefully received.
Thanks...
