Scylla Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi folks Posted here a few weeks ago asking if anyone had moved from an MX5 to the 350z; I've had 2 Mk1 Mazdas and was about to buy a Mk 3, when for some reason the 350z found its way into my awareness. I picked my car up on Monday, a 2009 GT with 32500 miles, in excellent condition overall and with a pale leather interior that isn't quite cream and isn't quite grey. Jesus Horatio, what a car. I am in love with it beyond all reason; I like to hold it in second on city streets just to hear that snarl. I love the deliberate solidity to all the controls and I love the way it demands your attention. The wave of torque is so addictive, the speed and eagerness make me giggle out loud. The MX5 is a great, great car, but this is my first true performance car and I literally cannot stop driving it. How long before this wears off?! I think the 350z found me, and not the other way around. I mean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome and kind comments. It's taken me more time to get used to this car than any other of my experience, especially with regard to the gear change and clutch. I'm pretty smooth at pulling away now, but I've had a fair few stalls and juddery lurches along the way! On Friday I'm having fitted a Pioneer digital receiver with CarPlay, DAB and satnav. Although I've never modified a car before, I'm already looking at the idea of an aftermarket exhaust, something to subtly enhance the already awesome sounds the car makes. I love the thing more every day. Here's the interior - I like this colour very much, and it was one of the reasons I bought this particular car. Cheers Edited June 13, 2016 by Scylla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSt Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 That interior really is gorgeous, does someone one here know if this was a factory option or has someone had a amazing re-covering job done? Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
