what are the other 2 cars, are they more practical than a Z,
then again, I did not buy my Z because it was practical
I bought it because it was sexy, likes to run and be driven hard
and my gf likes to be seen in it...

Set your Z on fire and burn it to the ground, you'll lose less money that way.

"Horse Trading" never works out well. Just sayin.

pick up a little used civic for 3-5k gain that practicality back

I owned a 2015 stage 2 and after losing it and going to my z i wont look back. I miss the fact i built my sti to where it was but thats about it. The sti is built but its not as much of a sports car as the z. The stock setup on the z really has me wowed. I dont know what kind of driving you do but thr z takes the win in the fun category aswell imo.The huge inside alone will have you missing your z. The short gearing is also a turn off. 5 shifts to get to 120... the z does that in 4th. The list goes on. An 05 is also lacking the stiff chassy of newerish cars. I say no sir

That trade will probably not work out well for you in the end. All you will be doing is trading for all of his problems that he is having now that you don't know about and it's mileage is already getting high.

^^ Let me also add that, STI's and EVO's have too much of that boy-racer, ricer'ish stigma from most average people..

I've always liked those cars alot, but would never own one. The Z is so much more of a true sportscar, and you end up looking way better in one.

Also, AWD is for amateurs who think they can drive = RWD is a proper setup.

Not sure what the OP was expecting from a bunch of mostly Zealots.

Suffice it to say, I hope you kept the Z. That red Z looks great.
