Myles Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hello Everyone getting posted to Germany soon and looking at getting myself a Nissan 350z thought id join the forum premature, as I thought that maybe I could get some advice and discount on insurance etc as a member. I understand 3.5 litres aint exactly fuel efficient but what are the cars like to live with? my hearts set on getting one , but I just want to make sure im jumping with a parachute before I do I will be driving it to and from Germany but not very Often so I dont see a problem there with fuel costs I dont think, does anyone have any experience with the distance driving of one of these great cars, Im 26 with nearly 6 years no claims thanks everybody!!

GMballistic Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Welcome aboard Myles. Don't worry about the distance thing ~ Zeds love munching up the miles. Just put it in 6th gear set the cruise control and you should see good MPG too. My Zeds a daily driver and I absolutely love it. One of the best cars I've ever owned. It's not very fuel efficient on the short journeys I make back and forth to work but I can live with that.

Myles Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 28 MPG? thats not too bad, I thought to myself would a van be more practical for bringing stuff back or should I get a 350z and enjoy the drive rather than be sat in something id hate to sit in for 5 mins because lets be honest Driving to germany is a few hours drive and I want to make the most of the travelling..... and the Autobahn whilst its still there i really would like to get one, people I know are always trying to talk me out of getting one , saying they cost too much to run, but Ive thought to myself you only have one life so may as well go for it , but I want to make sure its a thoughtful choice not a rushed silly one where im selling the car 2 months later cuse i didnt think it through haha. thanks for the replies though! look forward to keeping in touch with you all! i don't suppose anybody knows where I could get hold of a Nissan 350z tax free by any chance? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacky Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Just go for it. You wont regret it. I've done London to Edinburgh a few times. The 350 is a nice GT car, easy on the motorways and fun when you drive 'spirited' on the B-roads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizurd Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Welcome aboard as others have said these cars can happily just munch away miles. Full economy over a longer drive isn't that bad 28mpg like has been mentioned. You certainly don't buy a 3.5 v6 for amazing fuel economy lol. Good luck with the hunt and do as you said, take your time to find the right one. Edited April 27, 2014 by wizurd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
