Default Thinking about selling the Z

I have been thinking about selling my Nismo 370z(most likely trading it in)

in all honesty i love my Z but im bored of it, i was thinking about either getting an EVO 8/9, GSX Eclipse, Subaru WRX/STI hatchback, Juke AWD, or if nissan releases a Silvia S16 i would want that as well

any other cars you guys would recommend? im looking like 4banger turbo, preferably AWD or RWD, im not a fan of FWD

You buy a Juke and someone will come by your house and put their foot in your azz.

i honestly dont know why, more room i guess

the Z is so sexy, its fast, and it corners extremely well, i just dont have fun driving it anymore, even back roads are starting to bore me with that car but when i drive my brothers Eclipse GS-T Sypder(Use to be mine but i gave it to him when i bought the Z) i have a blast in it even though its slower(it was faster but i dialed down the boost before i gave it to him), and even though its FWD

idk maybe its the choo choo choo BOV noises the car makes LOL

lol i like the way that car looks, its so sexy(sexy in the same way a rusted up Golf is sexy)
it just needs a bit more low so it looks more like a wagon then it does a SUV

My wife test drove the Juke before we bought the Altima and she liked it but said she didn't like how high it is.

I can understand Evo or Sti or even Silvia... But GSX Eclipse and Juke??? Maybe I should recommend you Cube or Xb?

I dont understand your reasoning one bit but different strokes for different folks I guess... good luck. stay away from STIs almost everyone I know with them has had nothing but problems (blown motors, diffs, broken axles, terrible interior quality)

I don't see why anyone on this forum would suggest going from a nismo to an ugly awd rally car.

hhhmmm, i didnt know that about the STi, i know some people with STi conversions but no one with a real STi

im just bored of my car if that makes any sense, its not really fun to drive any more, too much grip imo(which is good if i went to the track every weekend, but i dont so its boring)
its like james may said, the fun begins when the grip starts to end

But still it's an eclipse... I'd recommend Supra or Rx7. They got the look AND the performence.

Man on man. Trading in a Nismo Z for a JUKE?!?!?! What?? How can a Juke be more fun???? I could not ever imagine doing that. Even if it was a financial thing. I could see trading it in for another performance car such as the STi if you need the space and AWD with your weather situation (like me - going to move to CO), but I couldn't see the reasoning for saying the z isn't fun enough. Maybe you're not driving it right? Hah I kid I kid.

But if you are determined to change things up, the most fun alternative is getting a an STi and prepare it to go off roading. Or a jeep wrangler to go off roading. But for just street driving, I'd stick with the z

Or to save money you get get an frs

If you turn off vdc and go WOT mid turn then the back will slide out nicely
