Is a 350Z a good first car?

Would a 350Z be a good choice for my daughter’s first car? My friend has one that she’s selling, and I’m thinking about buying it for my daughter, but I’m worried that it might not be a great choice as her first vehicle ever.

A
Nissan 350Z
can work as a first car, but it might not be the best choice. While the 350Z is a good car, it can reach a top speed of 155 mph, which is significantly faster than your daughter should be driving while she’s still learning the rules of the road.
Additionally, the 350Z has limited visibility and offers little passenger room, so it would be difficult for your daughter to drive with her friends. The car is also expensive, so that almost inevitable first accident could be costly.
All in all, it’s best to opt for a different vehicle for your daughter’s first car. Try to find one with a low top speed, good visibility, and easy handling.
