^ I saw a MotorWeek comparo where the Z came out on top. They even said they liked the 350Z interior better. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

The Z interior is a lot smoother on the eyes... the air vents especially, and the awkward central console going all the way back.

 

If you mean this comparison by Motorweek, then the RX-8 still won:

Looks like you're right. I saw it on TV and I guess I mistook the outcome. What really surprised me was that they said the Z had a better interior.

 

i've heard bad things about the Z's interior, but i've never sat in one. so i could be wrong. i heard it was "cheap" but i didnt really know what to think.

 

I just find it amazing how many people will read one magazine article like this and decide whether they will keep or trade their car. All of these articles are very subjective and should be taken with a grain of salt, or sugar. You either love this car for what it is or you don't. Me? I love it! It is the most well rounded sports car on the market for the price.

 

I worked at the Nissan data center in Englewood, Co for 2+ years. I got my RX8 just before I started. We had some fun comparing it to a 350Z. The Z is faster than the 8 from the line, but I could catch it in the corners and past it. I do race the 8 in autocross and have a blast with it too. We only have 1 or 2 Z's that run here and they aren't very competitive in the class yet.
