Compliment to a 370Z
 

I currently have a 2010 370Z and love it to death. I put about 10k on her each summer just driving around enjoying her. Living in PA, I can't drive it year round because it's a rear wheel drive car. I also have a 2004 honda civic and she hit 203k miles last week. It feels like she might have one more summer in her so I'm looking for another car now.

What's a good 4 door compliment car to the 370Z? Definitely don't want to do the Maxima though...

WRX? :icon17:

G37x
Is350
335i sedan
Audi s4

Titan :)

G37 Hands down.

Im in the same boat, iam looking at the mazda3 or corolla s at the moment.

corolla s is so uncomfortable to drive. i'm quite big however.

I really like the Lexus IS 350 F SPORT AWD. I may be getting this car down the road very soon. However, I'm keeping my Z as well.

Yea, crazy thing is I was looking at a IS250 AWD, the 350 is pretty much the same just with more horses. I see too many ppl with the G37 sedan, so that'll be last on the list for me.

That Acura TL is kind of tough though too...

The price of both vehicles are good but a little small. I'd suggest something with a little more space..just being real

My GF just bought the RWD one. It would be a fantastic daily driver. The FSport seats are some of the best I've ever sat in.

Mazda 6 GT - Yup thats right. Drive one. Very fun car! and it has a classy look. Not too pricey either

You have a girlfriend?

:rofl2:

Are you buying new or used? What sort of % spread will you be using this car versus the Z (50% of the time...)? Is it just you driving both?

I would find it hard to justify a new car for just 50% of the time, especially since it's being driven in the winter as a "beater" equivalent.

- Go used beater. Really, anything as long as it runs and does what you need.
- If you go new, I'd suggest a quality econocar around $20k that can still be sold in 10 years when you get her up to 150k+ miles as well. Toyota, Honda, whatever lasts a good deal on the inside.

If you can swing new and swing solid at $45k and lower, then get whatever I guess. :)

I would just then say don't get something sporty or anywhere close to the same category as the Z. Don't make it an agonizing choice which car to drive on a sunny day to work. If it's agonizing, you may as well sell the Z and get the year-round car, ya know?

I agree, except on the beater part. Find the happy medium. Seriously check out the Mazda3 or Mazda6 both in the GT trim. They are cheap slightly used, loaded up, FUN to drive, and good on gas. As you can tell my Daily is a Mazda, with a few bolt ons. Its a hoot to drive. Won't win any races (well maybe it will) but you will find yourself pretending to be a race car driver when the moment presents. Mazda has driving fun nailed down! Slick 6-speed manuals for sure.

Can't argue much with that. :)

If you're in a region that gets snow and inclement weather, why would your other vehicle also be a car? Wouldn't you want something with a little more ground clearance?

Jeep Grand Cherokee ftw. Save some bucks on a used one.

Well like I said, I currently have a Honda and it's my daily beater car. I'm about to be 29 so I want something that a teenager doesn't really have or see on a daily. My Z would only be driven on the weekends when I have time. That IS350 sounds like a winner though. I will be buying used but would like to keep it under 22k if possible. The Z car note is under 400 a month so I can swing another 400 (hopefully I'll be paying less) a month if necessary.

Unfortunately, I don't sell cars back to the dealer or to anyone actually. I just give them to family members when I'm tired with them and they're paid off.

Yea I'm located in PA right now but getting stationed to NJ area so I guess the snow will be an issue. The weather this year was just a freak accident though, don't think we'll get the same next year though...

Man I loved my Titan like you don't even know. There fast A HELL OF ALOT peppier that ford and chevy and who dosent need a truck from time to time. I will say this BUY USED titans DO NOT hold their value.

SUV/truck or :gtfo2:

Snow isn't a freak accident. It can happen any year. If one of your cars is a low sports car, having the other be a low sports sedan is a bit counter productive. If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for one of the 5spd turbo Subaru Foresters. Fun to drive, reliable if you keep up maintenance, AWD and has some ground clearance.

I was half joking about the Titan but I loooove mine. A crew cab truck is so much more flexible/valuable for me. Whether it's just hauling the kids around, hauling a bunch of cargo, or towing the car to the track. I'd be lost without a good truck.
