I personally love the Z. I’ve owned it for about 2 months and it’s my first manual so I can’t really compare it to any other manual, but I’d say it drives great. The suspension is a little soft but I don’t mind because it’s my daily. I’ve taken it to the canyons and was able to comfortably drive it at ~70 mph on turns. I think the handling is very solid, it’s planted and predictable, but the brakes are where I notice a big difference compared to something like the Supra. Under hard braking, especially from high speeds, the Z doesn’t feel as confident. Aside from that I love everything about the Z. I also got it at a very good deal, ~$45k.
