Good car, not that practical.

However, I would never choose one over a Infiniti G35...or new G37. I haven't seen the leases on the G37, but leases on the G35 were quite close to those of the 350Z.
My recomendation would be to drive both. The Infiniti has a back seat a nicer interior, and a noticable power advantage, but ultimately, they are both fantastic cars.
hey thx

what other ways do you think i better
Mileage was pretty much the same, but Infiniti takes premium
by Lantern42 - 10/15/07 4:04 PM In reply to: hey thx by havenoname777Warranty, power, interior materials, a useable back seat, dealer service (you'll get a G35 loaner car every time you take yours in for service) and handling are all better with the Infiniti.
The 350Z has a lower price, takes regular fuel, and has a convertable option. However, that's all it has over the G.
Looks are a subjective thing, but I prefer the lines on the Infiniti, I think the Z looks a bit...fat from the rear.
Good luck with your choices, since they're both great cars. I wish I had your problem.

I originally wanted a Porsche Boxster but purchased a Z instead because it was better value. After having it for awhile, I think I'd take the Z over the Boxster regardless of price.
It does require Premium Fuel, contrary to an earlier post.
The car is blast. Gets lots of attention. Handles excellent. Feels sporty. Every bump in the road reminds you you're in a sports car. Looks better than the G35 in my opinion.
Common complaints for the Z are: cheap interior materials, poor mileage, no trunk space, poor stereo quality.
I find the interior to be well designed with quality on par with other cars at this price point. I get about 22 mpg combined city/highway with when driving on the highway about 2/3 of the time. Trunk space is good considering what you might expect from the pics, but of course it's limited in comparison to a regular car. The stereo is decent when playing CDs, it absolutely sucks when playing radio stations. The radio is my biggest gripe.
Buy a Z
