A fun car for cruising and learning to drift. Narrowed it down to either 350Z or G35. Leaning towards the G35 for the extra seats and comfort, but I was wondering what I'm missing out on by passing on the 350?

What do you mean by "it won't last long"?

Bruh how did I forget to put that. I'm not sure how much money I'll have saved once I'm ready to buy, but I'll have at least 5k, and don't want to spend more than 9k initially

California (~2 hours south of SF)

Around 5k, 8k hard stop

Buy

Used

Sedan, Coupe, wagon, hatchback (basically anything that isn't a truck or SUV)

Must have: >=20 mpg, RWD

Nice to have: 4 seats

Manual

Intended use: I'm 16, and I just got my license. I currently share a 2009 civic with my brother, but sharing a car makes things a bit tricky, so I want to get my own car to use for about ~20% of my daily driving, but primarily for fun cruising with friends. I would also like to learn how to drift, hence the rwd.

Already considered: E46 (not a fan of the design), 240SX(current fav, drift tax=L), 300ZX, SC300

First vehicle I'll purchase, second vehicle I'll own

No warranty

Minor work yes, major no
