Nissan 350Z
drventure:
My brother had one for about a year. It was a blast to run around in but there's absolutely no space inside. You can get a couple bags of groceries, and that's about it. He's young and single and didn't want 2 cars, sooo....
He sold it and got a 4runner.

Yah I had a G35 sport coupe as well; great car. Essentially the same as a 350z but with better seats, better sound system and usable rear seats as well, for those times when you have to haul around 3 buddies.
The one drawback on both cars is the gas mileage... I was getting probably around 14mpg in the G35, probably because I drove it with a lead foot. Also the tires are expensive, well over $1k when it is time for a new set of shoes... Keep that in mind if you are buying a used one.
I now drive a Nissan Altima sedan and often yearn for the power & handling of the G35 again. Shouldn't have listened to the practical side of my brain...!

What the ---fudgesicle---? He's young and single? That is your stated reason for him trading a sports car for a familymobile??? What kind of effed up logic is that?

Good info. I am a little surprised at the lopsided amount of Infinity vs Nissan experience. Your replys are very similar to what I have heard others say. The advantage to the Infinity is more room, more seating, and not as rough / loud.
I have a Jeep Wrangler 4x4, and I have no plan to sell it to get a sportscar. I will keep it because it is paid off, great winter vehicle, and it is fun. Plus I can still use it to haul groceries, people, luggage, etc.
My Wrangler has four wheel drive and power steering, that is about it for options. I am used to a rough riding, loud vehicle. Either car will ride like a Cadillac to me.

;D
No, he runs with a bunch of people and was tired of not being able to go anywhere with more than just one person. The young and single just meant he didn't want to have to mess with 2 cars. Also, to be fair, it's tough to hang a bike off the back of a 350z and head up into the mountains for a weekend. He did it... once :)
