I get 260 miles to £60 currently, so better than 350z, but not ideal...
To be honest though it's mostly the way I drive to / from work (FLAT OUT).
I'd be tempted by a diesel if I had somewhere to put it.

Miss the gearbox, best one ive experienced until it started crunching, i found it quite capable in corners despite its weight. and the noise on start up/the burble sound around 2k when feathering is the nuts. Miss mine
I get an indicated average of 24mpg but I'm getting about 150 miles tops for 50 quid the past fortnight
I read that and thing "fuck that". Since losing interest in cars a bit and getting myself a stop gap car (corsa 1.3 CDTi) for work and back I now cant ever see myself getting a car so bad on fuel again. I now get 400- 500 miles out of a tank (£35-40) where as previous cars were worse than you 150 to £50
I've never had a nice car so this is me getting it out of my system. I'll probably enjoy it for a year and then punt it and buy a diesel repmobile.
I drive to and from work and then to and from the 5 a side park 4 times a week. Rest of the time the car sits on the driveway.

How is a 370z 'Chavvy', how the hell does a Chav afford such a Car
Only been in a 350z as a Passenger so cant comment on how they drive although I thought the interior was nasty. I do occasionaly browse this on PH though. If I ever bought one i think it would be for bling purposes and would probably drop it on some expensive jap rims and focus on keeping it detailed. If I had a bit of a commute would probably swing it as well.

Perhaps chavvy is the wrong word. It's a bit Fast and Furious for me.

It looks like a melted 350z with Halfords wheels and lights on it. To me anyway. Interior is light years better though, the interior in the 350 is dreary at best.

That pic above doesn't do the 370z any justice at all
I wasn't keen on it to start with, but much prefer them now, makes the 350z look a bit dated.

Looks like a barried version of a 350 to me with the wheels a particular low point. They look like the Fox wheels all the boy racers used to stick on their corsas.

The Rays on the 350 are boring, I love the alloys on the 370.
The drive is so improved as is interior & looks are bang up to date.
Mates had 3x 350's & has had his 370 now for 6 months & loves it.

The interior is night and day but then the interior on the 350 looks like an afterthought.
I've got the touring alloys on mine, agreed about the rays
