Curious to know what cars everyone here wish they had back.
For me it was my 1995 Pathfinder that was just like the one seen here.

oh this one is so easy for me. my Serial #33 2007 NISMO Z. I loved that is was 33 to match the Z33 chassis code. it was like a sign that I had to buy it seeing it there in the dealership. I had no intentions of buying it as this was the fall of 2007 and I was moving on to a 2009 GTR that next summer. when I saw it in person and saw the serial # I just had to have the car like it was destiny. bought it that day and ended up keeping it until June of the 2008. I sold it with only 6800 miles on it. it was all stock except I had the NISMO cone dual intake kit installed. Man I regret getting rid of it so bad to this day but at the time I couldnt afford making the jump to the 09 GTR without selling the Z and getting my money back out of it. I think I sold it for like just 31K back then. worst decision with cars I ever made.
over the past few years I had bought a NISMO Juke and then a NISMO Sentra as my main daily driver as something fun but affordable around town and every time I get in those cars I feel a little sad I wasnt able to keep my Z instead and enjoyed it instead this last decade. Only car I really miss to this day.
this is one of the main reasons I want the 2023 Z so bad is to sort of right a 15 year wrong.

Was a weapon of a car
I miss my 2010 Honda Accord Coupe. This was my last 2 door car. Needless to say, the 2023 Z will fill that void and I have many modification projects for the Z. Stay Tuned!

No brainer: 1991 Sentra SE-R. Also my 81 280ZX that I had to sell when I graduated college in 1990 and had to move back into my parents place in the Bronx (insurance would’ve been $3K/yr had I kept it then). selling that car led to me buying the SE-R so I shouldn’t cry too much. Then there was my 1993 Ford Probe GT. Bought it after the SE-R was totaled from an accident around a low speed curve on a flooded Saw Mill Pkwy in NY. Sold the GT to get married (wife didn’t drive a stick to we got a 96 Maxima SE. The SE-R and Probe GT are unicorns with low miles in good condition and are quite rare in any drivable shape. Ironically, the oldest of these cars, the 280ZX are a dime a dozen in near mint/mint condition and low miles - if a dime is worth $20k-$40k. The 280 pic below is an identical color and trim to mine (from BAT or eBay) while the SE-R is from a brochure but mine was black too.
Nissan is doing it right with the Z, so why not with other models? Take the 248hp VC-Turbo 4 from the Altima and put it into the Sentra (give it a stick too), and there it is… a new SE-R.

I love Pathfinder too. Apparently the latest model has impressive technical features. Isn't it?

Hopefully your new Pathfinder fares better than the previous generation. It looks great and the interior is beautiful. One day someone at Nissan will give the Z the same Chestnut color interior you appear to have. Blue leather or red leather but no brown or tan leather in the Z? Kinda moronic if you think about it. Good luck with your Pathfinder!

I was the second owner of an ‘84 S12. Had the Datsun and Nissan logos together on one car. The original owner had it up for 800 bucks in 2014-ish, and gave it to me for 600 because he said I “seem like a good kid”. No haggling required. It was the first car I ever bought. God, I miss that thing so bad. One day I’ll get together a decent lump sum and seek out an all-original S12, for sentimental reasons.

What a dud the last generation was. This new gen is perfect, mainly for all the 90's vibes it has going on.

we had a 2005 and a 2012 pathfinder which looked the part for the time but a bit bare bones. then totally skipped the rounded looking "soccer mom" gen. so was good to get back into one. this new one to me is best of both worlds with how it looks especially with the black accessory grill I swapped in and good tech for under 50K. gas milage is not bad we are averaging around 26MPG for its size.
