Nissan 370Z Forum  

Should I replace my 370z with an STI?

Nah - the STI is the new "me too" car. I can't drive damn near 5 miles in any direction without seeing one.

Well you are on a Z forum afterall and you can ask about any other car and would have drawn it out regardless.

I used to own an MR2 Spyder and was on a forum like this and some poor guy started adding Porsche items to his Spyder and I have never seen an online beatdown quite like it. This Z forum (with some funny exceptions) is far more tame compared the MR2 guys....

One guy I will never forget said something like:

"That's good why don't you add the Porsche side mirrors? Oh and after that why don't you add the emblems? In fact why don't you just go by a Porsche and GET THE FU_K OUT OF HERE!?!?!"

Good luck with the new ride.... Maybe you will be back!

If I lived somewhere frozen I'd probably go for the STI too....but it would be a DD and I'd have some cheap fair-weather project like a boosted Miata or something.

It's not just Subarus. There's more than a few members here who absolutely lose their **** if someone sells their Z for any other car. You should see what happens if you trade for a Mustang.

There's a group called the silent majority, and that may apply here. I know of people who've had Subies and have been very happy with them. I can also understand your need for an awd in Canada, so best wishes on your new purchase and hopefully the person who buys your Z, comes on this forum. Aloha!

One thing OP if you need an excuse or someone to talk you into it, just join a STI Forum and you will get total different answers from what your asking here....we obviously like the Z and the STI owners will talk you into how much they love their cars....just saying....

You knew what you were going to do even before you asked the question.
