Traded my 370Z

alvitdk · 08-07-2015, 09:46 PM

Went and traded my 2013 Z, was a great car just did not fit my needs anymore of needing to have a couple more seats on several occasions.
Went back the more luxury route, as my previous car was a 335i.
This time it's less power, but more refined and practical.

I test drove the Infinity Q60, BMW 335i, Mercedes C300, Mercedes CLA, before finally settling on the Lexus IS350 F-Sport.

Much more expensive of course, and never had a Lexus before, reliability seems to be rated good. The ride quality is just awesome, and even better than the new 335i, Steering is accurate.....and soooo quite.

Obviously it's two different segments of cars, and I never had any issues with the Z, I hope the choice was a good one though.

Sorry to see the Z go, but you made a good choice! I love driving my wife's, as they are so quiet and have great refined driving dynamics. Lexus has one of the best reliability numbers out there.
