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.

More poll options!!

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.

WRX interior is fine IMO. Avoid any of the factory audio / navigation options though, they all suck.

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 would go with the STi!

SPOHN 04-27-2011 06:26 PM

None of above

Lloydy 04-27-2011 06:36 PM

I want to drive the BMW 1M :tup:. 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...:stirthepot:

If you love the Porsche get it. C6 is another good option, but it will feel much much larger thN the z
