I know this is a bit of an odd topic but after 6 great years of ownership, things have changed and it's time to move on.

Basically I only get to drive mine once every two months which means registration cost alone is about $120 each time I drive it, and my daily is a POS.

Looking for input from Z fans who have upgraded to other cars or are in a similar situation. I'm after daily 4-door practicality but with some sporting feel.

I had thought to look at the Infiniti stable, but I didn't like the Q50 RedSport interior or steering feel when I test drove it (I think it's drive by wire or something?). Had great torque though.

Since I'm in Australia, my shortlist is currently:

- KIA Stinger GT RWD (TT V6 and enough space, but ... don't know about KIA)
- Holden Commodore VF2 SSV Redline Wagon (Big roomy LS3 V8 wagon, but model is no longer made)
- Volkswagen Arteon (4cyl turbo :/)

What do you think?
