Default 350Z - are they a man's car?

Or are they a bit MR2'ish?

I like them, but can't help but think they are a bit

300bhp (model dependent) 3.5 litre V6, rwd and can drift for Japan - you work it out .

Fantastic handling cars, if a bit "plasticy" inside .

You don't see many women driving them (unlike Mr2s ) .

Convertible one is , but then so are ALL convertibles .

I put them in the same class as the S2000.

There a wife of girlfriends car, basically, you buy or talk them into buying 1. Then you drive it and when asked reply, "it's the wife's mate".

On a side note, to some1 who knows there car's there not, to others they might be seen it, but not as much as the others because of there size.

I've always thought of them as manly enough.

Big V6 driving the rear wheels in a nice coupe shell etc.

Probably the first and last time I will see someone compare a 350Z with a Ford Focus.

A clear case of being quite happy to spend all your money but none of their own

Apart from the times when my Focus blitzed past my Dads 350!

As said, my old chap had one for a year or so when they were first out. Not the fastest thing in the world but go-kart like handling, cracking car.

I took one out for a spin, very plastic inside, wasn't amazed with it tbh. Not sure about the girly aspect??

May be well off the mark, but remind me of the Z3 or Z4 in terms of who drives them,30 - 40 year old office manager wanting to look the part??

RWD coupe with a V6. Hardly

Infact doubt I've seen a woman driving one. Just to make sure go for 10x18's for the rear, 9x18's for the front, a decent drop and a bloody loud exhaust.
