I have never driven a 300zx and only heard info off others which is usually about as realiable as the majority of information on the internet, in other words not reliable in the slightest. About as useful as arguing how good the GTR is against a HSV owner. Ask Zed owners, yes they are biased towards their cars, however im sure the Zed forums have a section where owners are asking for help with problems they come across. You'll get a much better idea about the car there. And just simply find one to take for a drive. All cars have good and bad points, there may be some bad things about it but may be many more good points that may outweigh the bad. Take yuor time, you want to enjoy your car.
