Oh, I forgot one thing - you WON'T like the gas mileage of the Z.

I haven't found the Z to be any more flexible than the S in DD. You'd think more torque would equal easier to drive, but you have to factor in the Pork factor. I downshift more in the Z than I do in the S.

All that adds up to a much larger gas bill for me in my Z than in my S.

But cruisin' down the highway can be nice with a hard top.

I could swear the Z has less trunk space than the S. Obviously more cabin room but not sure about trunk space.

As for driver I believe it can handle someone taller than 5,10 comfortably. I have friends around 6,1-6,2 that drove my car. "BTW I'm 5,7 " In addition I've seen Jeremy Clarkson in the S!!! He has to be much taller than 5,10, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
i just posted a few post up.. the convertible Z has less trunk space than the S. the regular Z has more trunk space than the S

I'm 6'4" and fit just fine. I've been daily driving my S for 3.5 years now. Several long road trips. I'd say i'm about at the limit though

S2000 = APEAL WISE: S2000 Convertible > 350z Convertible. S2000 saves more gas compared to the Z in general. Where I live the girls that like fast cars get either RSX's or 350z' so its more of a feminine car in my opinion. Reliable.

350Z = Faster stock to stock.
