I was considering a 350Z, Z4 (I had owned one before), or BRZ. I went with the BRZ after driving all 3, at least 2 examples of each. I always loooved the 350Z but finally after driving one I walked away miffed. It felt heavy, the engine didn't feel very willing, and it felt thin in the metal and significantly chintzier than the BRZ. Before I drove any of the cars I was expecting to buy the 350Z. After driving the BRZ for a mile I knew I wasn't going to.
Thing is, 4 years later I still find myself thinking about the 350Z.

I remember my copy of automobile magazine with the 350z release (I had to be maybe 13?) and I was so stoked about it. I test drove one a few years ago and I felt like I was in a shit tank.
Felt super heavy. The cockpit felt tiny and cramped but the car felt huge. Did not like. You know what they say about not meeting your heroes.
