I'm all for enthusiast cars, but this 350Z's rough ride and high noise levels would make me think twice about getting one as a daily driver.

350Z is a wonderful sports car. Interior upgrades make this model much more palatable on a daily basis, and the price is still quite reasonable.

Touring model's 18-inch tires (standard with our tester's manual transmission) delivered a brutal ride over Chicago's pockmarked streets--enough so that I'd have to recommend against this combination. And the Touring's $33,700 price of entry would have me looking at the similar Infiniti G35 coupe, which is more civilized and costs about the same.
