how does it feel?
grunty??
It definitely feels different to the Clio, power is much easier to find so if you want to be lazy you can be but it's 1,500kg of car so the weight does blunt some of the extra grunt unfortunately. A lot of fun though and the noise through the Nismo exhaust is lovely.
What kind of MPG are people seeing on these?
It really depends on what sort of driving you do. Do plenty of short trips and you'll see it drop into the low 20's and maybe in to the high teens. With a mix of driving but no motorway cruising recently I have seen it hold 26mpg which isn't too bad, but that is taking the trip comp as gospel and I doubt it's that good. Once I fill up again I can update.
Nice motor mate. How do you find the interior quality and build quality of the z compared to your clio?
Interior quality is quite a chunk nicer than the Clio but isn't exactly luxurious plastics etc. The leather seems pretty good and I'm slowly cleaning all the dirt out and then will get some good leather cream onto it as I don't think it's been done before (it's now 5 years old!).
Less rattles than the Clio but the 350's still have a couple of usual rattles that people on the forum talk about. Easier to fix than most of the Clio's though I think.
For some idea of the interior, this is the link to the Pistonheads advert -->

The tan (Alezan) leather is a bit love/hate but I like it as it brightens up the interior from the usual black leather. I will try and take some better pics of it and post them up.
