Dave that is lovely isnt it, but to coin a phrase from lethal weapon - but it's bleck

Thanks for all the input so far guys, quite unbiased stuff considering, which is what I like about this forum.
Thing is I keep swaying from one to the other and now that summer appears to arrived I'm finding myself wanting an S more than the Z - aarrgghhhhhhh I can see this turning into a Paper Lawyeresq 18 month deliberation before I can make a decision

Wayne,

Make sure you drive the 350Z for a long time, and make sure you take it to plenty of twisties. The Z is a great car but it is SO heavy, the car just doesn't turn in like an S and for me that's what I disliked about it most. It's just not responsive in the way a sports car should be. As someone said earlier it's a GT/muscle car which it does a good job at but an alert sports car it's not.

The build quality and dealer service is absolutely awful as well. In the 8 months I had mine:

Electrics windows failed
Airbag warning light & sensor conntinuously malfunctioned
Clutch needed replacing 2x at

You can't beat actual owner experiences.

What year was your car Mike? Did you buy new?

Oh dear, Mike.

That's the Renault influence for you. Once upon a time, Nissan used to lead the customer satisfaction surveys, with the other Japanese, unsurprisingly.

Now they're loitering with the French at the opposite end.
