The only comparos people have made is a value comparo. No one ever said the Z and gen are direct comp. No one said the gen is equal to a G or bimmer. The only thing reviewers say is you can get a large portion of that performance in a gencoupe. Not all, but a good amount. The interior quality is on par with a camry or eclipse. Which is fair cuz its in the price range.
Its only real flaws is a iron and steel suspension and a cut rate tranny. Which is not great but for a first year sub30k sports car. Its expected. its the only rwd import in the price range. It has a better quality interior than mustang and camaro v6 and outperforms every gt v6 in its price range.the Z is another level, but its interesting to see where the gen holds up.
Most of u like bragging about how close a porsche and a Z are in performance.a top line Z is $42k. $47k in convert. A topline gen is $33k. Obviously for the 9k difference. Its a good car.
Lastly, by saying the car is cheap blah blah blah... ur making a comparo yourself.
