Goodbye Z...
 

I am trading in my leased 2012 Red Sport Package Z and buying a 2011 Red VW GTI with sunroof and navigation. I must get rid of my Z due to a move and I will have 1 hour and 15 min drive to work each way 5 days a week so due to the miles she must go. The commute is also very uncomfortable in the Z for that amount of time as the cabin is quite noisy and the ride can be bumpy. I chose the GTI as a sporty all around good commuter car with a very nice interior. I am quite upset as I love my Z.

:mad::mad::mad:

Bummer! Good luck with the v dub. :tup:

:iagree: Good luck man

:shakes head:

so...is it quiet, or noisy?

spelling error... "quite"

Gotcha :tup:

It's probably bumpy because you have the sport/lower profile tires and I don't know, I don't find it noisy at all. Different strokes for different folks.

GTI is a good choice though.

Sorry to hear that buddy, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Once in awhile I find my back a bit stiff after a long drive but all the other goodness outweighs a sore back lol.

GL with the VW...

I remember early reviews of the 370z mentioned 'heavy' road noise from the tires. If it gets too uncomfortable on a long commute, that's fair enough man.

Those GTI's are pretty fast little cars. Too bad your letting go of such a beautiful car (Z), though.

:iagree:

keep your Z and get the current gen honda fit MT and swift springs. comfy and quick, carry wheels and tires for your z, and you get to keep your Z. :p

HELLO, Z! :hello:

Man...sorry to hear that. Your new ride is a good car. Owned many a vdubs in my time.

Just FYI, my Z is my DD and commute 1.5 hours each way, 5 days a week. I've had no issues with comfort. Are there seat issues? BTW, the GTI is a lot of fun! :tup:

Haters gonna hate. There's no shame in doing what is best for your situation.

Don't listen to Kenchan! He has owned something like 17 Honda Fits. He's clearly addicted and should admit that he's powerless over the appeal of boxy FWD micro cars!

(OK, seriously, I like that idea. The Fit or another of the small, gas friendly cars as a daily driver would work well if you can afford it).

:iagree: Except for shame part. :rofl2: Do what you must regarding car. Ouch on the commute. Working closer to home regardless of car, is not a bad goal.
