370Z, A4, or BRZ

RollTideZ30 · 05-16-2013, 05:03 PM

UPDATED ON PAGE 5!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm in my mid 20's, searching for a car, and in need of some help. Also, be easy on me, I don't know a whole lot about cars

First off, I have a budget of around 25-27K and these 3 cars I can get used with low miles and only a year of two of use.

I have drove an A4 and love it. I love the looks, the way the car drives, everything. The only thing is it is a four door (I can't afford the A5) and I was wanting a 2 door car.

I have also drove a 370Z and really like it as well! I don't like the looks as much as the A4 or BRZ, but it is still extremely stylish and drives well. One thing that worries me about that car is mixed reviews I am finding online about whether the owner really likes this car or not.

Finally the BRZ. I love this car. I love the looks and the specs, but I can't drive one!!!!! I have went to several dealerships and even some that say they have one in stock and they never have it!!! It highly frustrates me. Also, I want respectable car that won't be a teenager car in 3 years and I'm in my later 20's and look awkward. Not sure if it will keep its prestige.

Y'all may be a little biased here

but what would you do in my shoes? If anyone has drove 2 or more of these cars and have a personal QUICK review I would be very appreciative. Thank you everyone for your input and look forward to your answers!

I haven't driven the A4 or the Brz so I can't personally compare them, but based of what you said, if your not in love with the looks of the Z why consider it? My point is that if your more attracted to one of the other two, if you were to buy a Z, later down the road you may regret it and be stuck with it. Try driving a Brz I'm sure there's one out there, and then you will have more to compare than just looks on it

What do you want in a car?

A4 if you want some comfort and luxury. Based on the other two cars you are considering, I wouldn't choose this car.
BR-Z if you want great handling with less power on a budget. I haven't personally driven one, though I know a local forum member who owns both a BR-Z and a 370Z - he enjoys them both
370Z if you want a great package of power and handling. Of the three, I would consider this one the driver's car.

I recommend the Z

3 totally different cars in different price ranges. Figure out what you need in a vehicle, what you are will to pay then research and test drive all the cars in that market.

Asking guys on a Z forum which is best is silly since most bought the Z as it was the best fit for them. You need to figure out for yourself which vehicle is the best fit for you.

Each car you listed is much different than the next. The Audi has all the bells and whistles, and is a great cruising car. The BRZ handles great, but is low on power. The Z is a great handling car with some decent power. It has its quirks, though. It's raw, and will bite you if you're stupid with it. However, it's a blast to drive. In the end...just make a decision.

And for what it's worth, I couldn't disagree more. The Z blows both of them out of the water in the looks department. I'm biased, though.

You're on the 370z forums asking people if they would rather drive a A4, 370z or BRZ. You know the answer. Just get the 370z already

I love mine, its my baby. Trust me, you should get it.

enkei2k · 05-16-2013, 05:49 PM

I like the seats in the BRZ though. Fit me kind of snug and perfect with a jacket on.

Sounds like the A4 is your favorite, but you want 2 doors. The BRZ already is a teenager car imho, as it's much more attainable. The 370z is getting there as well, and you're not crazy about the looks.

My advice: Keep looking.

RollTideZ30 · 05-16-2013, 05:54 PM

Thank you all for your input! I know this seems jackass to ask this question here, but I found a site for all three of these cars and this one has gathered the most replies and most useful information so I thank you.

As for the looks comment, don't be offended!!! I really like the looks of the 370, but slightly like the looks of the other cars just a little more, but not enough to count out the 370.

No offense taken...But you really have to love the look of the Car you buy...

You need to drive all three first....And as far as this forum giving you great feedback ? That is just how this forum is....The percentage of good people is quite High...Not too many haters here...A few, but way less than most forums..

Good Luck...But the Audi is for sure more luxuryb sedan and the Z is more low riding sports Car...I don't know much about the BRZ..

Ima put it to you like this.

A4= Grandpa
Z34= Man
Brz= Boy
