The Z has taught me that i prefer rareness over simply a quick car. Hence why I was a Volvo S60 Polestar as my DD.

I didn't know they actually released polestars. I thought they were just concepts

Yea. 2-3 years ago i believe. I have yet to see one on the roads here yet. They're affordable for very lightly used models also. I'm really tempted.

If you saw his other thread,he is looking to get out of his troubled Camaro & into a Z.

Total Agree. By the time things started getting better in 2013, the Z is already in its 5th model year with newer competitors. Economy downturn in Japan in the 90s' also killed many sports cars.

Just trying to get away from American cars and my troubled Camaro. I like to highway cruise in my Camaro because its roomy, comfortable, and feels pretty good to drive in that situation. But anything else, it feels big, laggy and if I give it too much gas, I am afraid it might fall apart. Haha. I got it for it's aggressive low profile look. I really dislike Chevy. I grew up with Toyotas. I have looked at the FR-S and BRZ, but they don't quite have enough power.

Well said

It doesn't bother me that the Z34 never took off quite like the Z32 or Z33. In fact, everything in the world seems right every time I see a BRZ.

The fact they are a two-seater and small trunk space may be the practicality factor, but still. Quick cars. Great handling. Just an interesting thought that is an ever going debate I am sure.

2 seaters in general is a luxury. people like us have multiple cars and a garage so no issue but for those dat have a family and can only have one car, pretty much useless.

Very good point

I would not have bought this as my primary and only car.

kenchan · 04-14-2016, 05:59 PM

yep. plus unless u have some wiggle room financially, having a sports car is probably no fun.

Ok, maybe I took your comments wrong. It seemed to me you were trolling and putting down the Z by suggesting it was not a desireable sports car for whatever reason, and trying to get the forum members to agree with you. So, I take back what I said. 😔
