350 Z is a nice car but very, very thirsty due to it's huge 3.5 litre V6 engine.
For £15k you may struggle to get a decent one.
Personally i'd look at the Mazda RX8 cos it's cheaper and more fun to drive.

I never drove a 350Z myself but people who I worked with used to wax lyrical about them.... They sound lush.... (gay word alert). |

Have you actually driven an RX8 on the road properly Walrus or just parked one?

The Wankel in the RX-8 is a notoriously unreliable bit of kit after a less than average amount of miles. They say 50k miles and you will start to need major engine work. I say major, but it's actually not. Components wise it seems major as the Wankel is nothing like a normal engine, but it's no different than having a cambelt change on a traditionally engined motor. Aparently... Saying that people do run them for a long time, so it's probably just tabloid. Oh and never tell any man how big the engine is, unless they're sat in the thing.  |

My mum has an RX8 so i'm afraid that will always be out of the question and labelled as a ladies car!
Anyone seen the new Audi TT?? Is it any good and what kind of price???
