Ekona Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Just out of curiosity really this poll, as it's a question that's been wandering around my head all day. It's pretty self-explanatory really: What was the main reason behind buying your 350Z? Did you go for the aggressive way it looks or the way you could make it look, or was it the way it drove that blew you away? I've deliberately left it only as two options I know that most people would've gone for a combination of the two, but that's a cop-out answer so I left it out Give reasons if you like, totally up to you.

Husky Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 i would have gone for the 2 i chose it as its something a little different but if i must choose, im including sound in the appearance as it adds to the feel. so thats my pick, grudgingly Quote
Ian Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I would have gone for a combination of both aswell Gonna have to go for appearance over performance though. I bought the car with the intention of modifying it the way I have & will continue to Quote
martinmac Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 None of the above reallt. 240z 260z 280z 300z31 Had to be sensible for a few years. 350z Quote
sunset350z Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Definitely its looks. More than happy with the performance as well Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 like others i would have said both, but for me the performance was a step up from the mr2 roadster and thats what i was looking for, but it was its aggressive appearnce and stance that sold it to me. the car just had the whole package, Quote
marzman Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Definitely its looks.More than happy with the performance as well +1. It was all about the looks. Quote
Vik54 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Performance - nothing else with such a buzz for the same money and running costs - looks are a bonus Quote
Spaceman Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Lets face it a car that looks this good, would be bought if it came with half the power, the performance and handling are just a bonus in my opinion Quote
choptop Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I bought my first Zed because it was comfortable for a sports car Quote
narcotix Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I would have to go for the looks out of the two ... but the performance is still very important to me ... There's no point looking the part if it can't deliver ... IMO Quote
From A to Zed Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 guys, guys.... What about the SOUND Quote
Husky Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 guys, guys.... What about the SOUND im including sound in the appearance as it adds to the feel. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 guys, guys.... What about the SOUND standard i don't think the sound is that great, well not inside the car, but once added exhaust and air intake it is tres good Quote
Greekman Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 None of the above reallt.240z 260z 280z 300z31 Had to be sensible for a few years. 350z so following the evolution process you ll soon have a 370Z!!! Quote
helimeddaz Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi, None of the above. Worked my way to it. 1st bought 2nd hand 200SX, Then. Test drove Z Couldn't afford Z, So bought new Type R, Then. Test drove Z Couldn't afford Z, Got great deal on new RX8 PZ. Never felt same as test drives in Z, So. Finally bought the last of the new 350's. In answer to the question. It's the way it makes you feel when you turn that key. Nothing like it. (Oh Yeh). Quote
Greekman Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 guys, guys.... What about the SOUND standard i don't think the sound is that great, well not inside the car, but once added exhaust and air intake it is tres good couldnt agree any more...but now its awesome....still not quite like my ex V8....

jerry3167 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Saw her on the ANCASTER CROYDON forecourt, and something compelled me to stop...Was in my CTR at the time, but after seeing "Eleanor" I fell in love Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Curves in all the right places, firm ole behind, sleek, beautiful and sexy !!!!! I like driving her too Quote
alessandro Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I always wanted a reliable sport car which could put a smile on my face and look good too and the Z ticked all the boxes. Between the 2 I choose the look Quote
yeti Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 looks, looks, looks... used to work at nissan's r&d centre in cranfield for a few years, loved the z's when they came in then, had the press poster of the facelifted z on my wall for the last 3 years so i bought one bought it because as a daily mile muncher it really is comfortable, 32ish mpg on a run (ave) but if you wanna play you can. Although i really do love the outside, the interior was a massive selling point, the z's interior is above the previous gen tt in looks and build quality - though the audi might win on materials despite the z's v solid feel! for the money, what other sub 3 year old can can you get that comes close to the looks and performance of the z with the reliabilty... i know i'm preaching to the converted but i think they're v cool cars! Quote
Zednick666 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 All of the above i.e. the looks, presence & agressiveness, the performance, handling, soundtrack etc.... But also, the feeling of 'exclusivity'. Looked at 3.2 TTs, Alfa GTAs, RX8s etc. etc. but really none of them feel quite so special as the zed, and lets face it, unless you're knocking around the twisty Scottish Roads early September ( ) you don't see many on the road! See endless amounts of TTs, just don't have that edge. As I say - 'The only Zed in the village!' Quote
maz77 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Performance - nothing else with such a buzz for the same money and running costs - looks are a bonus +1. the zed is one of the few modern sport cars that brings back the 1970's sports car experience. powerful engine at the front moving the wheels behind my back and always tail happy when you ask her to. add to that a precise front end and you have proper sports car. everything else comes as a bonus (personal opinion that is) Quote
bronzee Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Performance - nothing else with such a buzz for the same money and running costs - looks are a bonus Lol, ya reckon the boys are superficial Vik?! Voted the same as you. None of the above reallt.240z 260z 280z 300z31 Had to be sensible for a few years. 350z so following the evolution process you ll soon have a 370Z!!! You missed a 280zx and a 300zx Z32 Mart. Quote
