I liked the S2000 and the Rx-8. When reviewing the S2000 against the 350Z I can say just about the exact same things I said when comparing the Rx-8. I LOVE The s2000. Could it be POSSIBLE that I just didn't like the 350Z?

I'm not going to say I liked a car when I didn't. I tried to like it. I even convinced myself once that I would buy it. I drove it, my opinion is on this thread. Do what you will with it.

Nice seats btw.

Yeah I agree I'm not entirely fond of the 350z front, nor is somewhat bulbous fat rear. Its one of those cars that I find prettier in pics than in person. (The opposite of what I find for the g35c and and rx8)

For me, if the Rx8 had more ***** and a reliable engine (even a regular piston engine), that car would sell for me!

Agreed....if you dont like it...you dont like it. But give it more credit then handling like a school bus or interior made by a 10yr old.

Kuddos for a very plain, simple and to the point opinion!

Lets put the school bus comment to one side for a moment...

Do you really think the interior of the 350Z is nice? I'm not trying to be mean but its pretty bad. With the handling comment, My daily driver is a 94 RX-7 TT, so yes to me the 350Z handles like a school bus.

sorry if I hurt your feelings. Im sure you like your car, we just different games and at different levels.

Nah...my feelings arnt hurt...this is the internet. Do i think the 350z interior is nice...yes. Do i think my interior is great....hell no.

Last time i was in a 94 rx7....Do i think the rx7 interior is nice...yes. Do i think the rx7 interior is great....hell no.

Handling: lol....ok...maybe compared to a 94 rx7 (I havent driven one).

After test driving the 350Z,G35 and RX8, I can tell you that all of these are great cars, and whoever owns either will not be dissapointed, it's just a matter of personal likes and needs, for me, the back seats were a necessity and my personal likes were handling, thats why I chose the RX8, sure the car can use some more power, but I don't thinks it needs much more, maybe 40 WHP, but I can tell you I am very happy with my choice, just as the 350Z, G35, and S2000 owners are with theirs.
