ER-3682 Twincharged July 13, 2013 Share July 13, 2013 Anyway, back to topic...... So i guess no bros here drive the fairlady. $8k depre for a 3.5L V6 2dr coupe is to me vv attractive. And the car stands out even when parking beside its continental bros. Perfoamce and rise comfort is well balanced too. Only qualms is the running costs: patrol, insurance, tax etc I am driving the 370z now. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWind 4th Gear July 13, 2013 Share July 13, 2013 I always liked the Fairlady from a distance but never got one.....thks fer the below feedback. It looks like its a car not meant for daily commute in our tropical heat and stop and stop traffic.... den its ok personally i find the Z very uncomfy for daily ride. seats are hard, height is low. but i think u gotta sacrifice for the handling another thing if u r getting the convertible, the heat is quite unbearable even at nite if u r driving with the top down. many at times although it sounds abit dumb gotta drive with the air con on. driving the Z is like riding a class 2 bike, u really sweat at traffic light. however power is superb, able to give its turbo counterpart a run of their money. FC is killer though, only manage 5km/L , maybe too heavy foot. so dpends whether ur friend willing to sacrifice the cons to the pro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Godzilla was launched, the rest as they say is history. Henceforth fair lady has been relegated to be lady in waiting. Lost its lustre except for a small community of enthusiasts.

GTR also diffrent class,it's supercar power bring Nissan up with the big boys like Bentley GT & Porsche 911 Turbo,while the Fairlady is just a cheaper Porsche Cayman.

Confused Ad,not sure,if just paid 5 years,means cannot extend,anyway all Fairlady OMV should be around $45-50k....my 2009 370z is $48k. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
