I guess I really need to figure out if I care about not having the syncro rev match and the fact that I will need to spend a decent amount to mod the car and get some good hp out of it.

The Z will definitely be faster stock vs stock.

then why post here to ask for people's opinions? go get your family station wagon and family-on

Because I would like to see others' thought patterns and what they cross-shopped, hence the title

I crossed shopped 335i's and 2011+ Mustang GTs with my Z.

I quickly moved away from the 335i after reading up on used turbo BMWs.
The Ford is a great performer but I couldn't shake the fact that it's a Mustang and I see about 30 on my 25 minute drive to work.

I worked in sales at a VW/Nissan dealership for about 3 years until about 2006. VW's have awesome interiors and gadgets, but they were constantly getting serviced. They seemed to have tons of problems problems with electronics breaking. Overall they're very nice on the interior and the powertrain is pretty solid, but you're probably gonna spend a lot of time getting little stuff fixed.

Same here. If all I cared about was going fast relatively cheap, I'd have a blown 5.0. That car can move!
