Today i traded the fist for a 15 370z sport.

I like the fist if i had another vehicle to drive daily, i would keep it just for fun. My problems for ME the sight lines weren't the best had issues seeing out and being 5'11 and 230 it was a bit snug, but the fun factor hooked me. Also it was a bit manic for my comute of 100 miles when i have to go home from the terminal on interstaes with pot holes and grooves, on the twistys it was a blast. It's a great car not trying to deter anyone it's just not for me. I would definitely test drive one they are a fun car.

Everyone has different needs out of a daily driver, I hope the 370z fits yours. When its time to replace my tires in 6 months I'm going down to a 15" rim to make my commute more comfortable and sweat less about potholes.

Take care and enjoy the drive.

Good luck always liked the 370z

Weird to complain about the car being small and couldn't see out of it and then go to a more crammed car haha as long as you're happy though

Its a lot roomier then the fist imo more room between the door and tunnel and there is a huge difference in visibility in the fist i couldnt see more then 50ft behind the car without cocking the rearview and only being able to use a 1/2inch. This car feels bigger to me and the egronomics and lay out fit me better. Bottom line im comfortable in the z and i actually looked at these items specifically. If it wasn't better for me i would of walked away, i dealt with those things in the fist because its a fun car but im starting to get bored with it and its starting to become more apparent.

I was very close to getting a Z Sport. Instead I bought a '15 FiST and a '09 SX4(for winter) and still was about $6,000 ahead. However.......the Z is high on my "future vehicle" list. [:)]

I like it plus being rwd had a lot to do with my decision. I like having to drive it and being able to relax when i want for cruising. I got on it and switching in to 2nd the back end kicked out put a huge smile on my face the car is a adrenalin rush, not having the immediate power on the low end is different i liked that in the fist, from a start the z has it, from a roll the fist would compete and if its modded depending on what speed might win. The peak power in the z is somewhere near 5k when you hit that area the car comes alive. That all being said i got a huge debate coming up whether or not to void its life time power train warranty and do a turbo kit on it.

Nice car, I actually went the other way. I had a Z and moved to a FiST, I did it because I need a backseat but once I got it home I realized I had a lot more fun driving again, I just looked for reasons to go run errands. The Z just got kind of boring for me somewhat even with a couple mods, but I owned it for several years and that just might happen with any car if you drive it day in and day out for a long time.
