| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | this one, 7 years old was affordable |
| Price of the Porsche Boxster: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 295-horsepower 3.4L H6 6-speed manual RWD | Porsche charges an arm and a leg for every little option. |
| 2000 | 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6 5-speed manual RWD | I got this car for less than $10,000 from a dealer. No accidents. But because it is a Porsche, people assume I am rich and charge me much more for service. Including Detail Shops, which charge double to clean a Boxster than an equally sized Mazda Miata. |

| Price of the Nissan 350Z: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Half the price of the Cayman, terrific performance at the price. Has all the performance goodies (hot engine, 6 speed manual, forged wheels, limited slip differential, big brakes) albeit at a step down in quality from the Porsche |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | I got a good car at a good price. |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Price is amazing for all the options included and the performance. The car is a rocket. Leather eated seats, heated mirrors, 6 cd changer, gripper brakes, nice ride and great handling. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | If you are looking for a sport car this the most bang for the money you can get. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Practically a bargain nowadays when purchased used. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Every other car out there is either slower around a track, or costs more than the 350Z. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | reasonable pricing |
| Price of the Nissan 350Z: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Too little car for what Nissan asks. What it does, it does really well, just not at a 10-15k premium over the Genesis |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | The price was a bit too much for the car, I paid the same price for the Infiniti. |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | not cheap |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | i feel like the car is just slightly over-priced on its own merits, but when compared to other vehicles in its class it appears very affordable. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Generally they are expensive. I got mine for a great price however. |

| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very well thought-out ergonomics. Only issue is the exterior paint, which chips easily on the aluminum hood. The car has been flawless since day one. |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
The engine and transmission are a thing of beauty and have won numerous awards for design and execution - not that great inside, but then again they had to sacrifice SOMETHING to produce this car for as little as it costs. |
| 2004 | 2dr Convertible 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
well Built |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
It may not be the best but it shows its true nature. A real bare bones, no fuss, true sports car build quality. Very basic and functional. |
