New car after 370z
So If my car comes back as totaled I am going to need to buy a new one. I have no idea what route to go but I like a few things so I could use the forums help. Maybe you all could add a few pros and cons to the vehicles too.

Firstly Bryce you gotta mention what you liked / disliked about the 370z. cus if things like space/trunk space come up ya know.
Main on a cayman will be high. i'd personally go 5.0 The BMW were notoriously unreliable (dont know if they got that taken care of) |

In all honesty I don't think any of the above are going to make you any happier than the Z.
Yes, the 135i is a very quick car on a straight line. Hasn't got the Z's handling though. Plus, keep in mind this is a 1 series BMW - it's based on what gets sold with a 4-pot sub- 2 litre engine in Germany and competes with the Golf. The WRX is interesting - but have you seen the interior? Porsche Cayman S - maybe. But it would be plenty used if you stick to Z pricing. Mustang - can't comment. Haven't driven one. Have you considered something a bit more extreme? Try test driving a Lotus Elise R or SC if you're after handling and performance. Else I'd stick to the Z. Anyway, just my few cents. Good luck with your new car hunt.

yeah I love the Z it would just be hard to find one and make it the same as I had it before... More practical would be nice but I love porsche. anyone is free to throw out any other options.

None of those. I would choose the car I almost bought. A GTR.
Long story short: I almost missed the 2009 production run (right at the end of it). So, if I couldn't get the 370, I was going to get the GTR. EDIT: And I might still get one. If my 370 sells (and no, I'm not trying), then I will buy a GTR.

I want to drive the BMW 1M . it was between the 135i and the Z when I got the Z, so I think the 1M could persuade me to make the change.

I would prefer an M3, M5 or M6, or even a 335i, not a look alike toy car (1M) for that ridiculous price...
