Which car would you pick?
Hey guys ive been lurking around these forums learning as much as possible about the 370z and now i have the money to get one , now its the hard part i know the 370 is a 2 seater but how many of you guys came from a 4 door sedan to a 2 seater? im thinking about the switch and how will i deal with just driving 1 person with me. I have a couple cars in mind to look at before i buy any car , and i would like your guys advice or tips on the 370 or any of these cars
1.Evo x 2.Bmw 335i 3.Mustang 5.0 4.370z Did anyone have any of these cars switching to the Z? Please share your experince this would probably be my DD so all input would be appreciated. Last edited by Slavo22; 07-18-2012 at 11:34 AM. |

A personal decision on 2 vs 4. I do not mind much at all.
These were all our car choices too, and most of us chose the 370Z.

It's a Z forum so I think the overwhelming response will be option 4. That's my choice, too, since you did take the time to register.

yeah guys i knew u guys would go for the z it would be like me going on 335i forums and asking what car should i get the 370 or 335 and we all know they would say the 335i , its just i feel the 335i is more the bang for your buck with a tune and exhaust and intake u can have 400 at the wheels , and i know u have to do alot to the z to have those numbers am i right? Which other cars were your options and what made you guys go with the Z?

Since you are already driving an M3 and Lancer, you should look at BMW 335i or 370z

Yes the 335i will make more power with an exhaust and tune... but you'll still be driving a 335i. The Z is a lot rarer, a lot sexier, and is a great package for the money!
I'd rather have a 135i than a 335. Go drive them all and your gut will tell you which one to choose. The Z is a much different beast then the ones you listed.

I came from a list of sport sedans...lastly the G35S sedan. I loved that car...I thought it would be a difficult transition but nope. I very rarely used all 4 seats when I had the sedan, sure the extra space was nice when traveling as I pack alot of junk. But the Z has proven to be spacious enuff for me and all my crap. I do find that I use my trunk space (what of it there is) alot more since I don't have a back seat to toss stuff in but I don't mind at all. The Z is a blast to toss around.

I've always owned coupes not 2 seater but it was'nt an easy decision for me. Its been two months and I don't regret anything one bit! The main factor, the 370 is not played out!
Evo is kinda slow Mustang and 335 = 6 out of 10 girls in LA own one. lol

If you bought a 370z sports package with all the bells and whistles 30-33k.
335i is at least 40-45k.. You lose out on two small seats if you decide to get the coupe. & You also dont get the nav knob that BMWs come with. BUT, with 5-6 grand you can get a single turbo or twin turbo setup for a little more and easily get over 400. Even 450. Just a thought! |
