Considering a 370z!
 

Hey guys...i have been trying to decide on a new car and i figured why not ask the people that have been there right?...I have been dead set on an evo x for over a year now mostly because i own an eclipse, love the brand, reliability is awsome, love turbo chargers :), and love the styling...but latelythose damn z's ;) keep catching my eye...what im asking here is did anybody consider the evo before buying their z and what is a deal breaker in the z's favor.Thanks in advance for the input...(i skimmed through the forum a couple times and im digging the community too)

nope, never like mitsu's reliability problem and fixing the problems without letting the owner know it's there.
think about it, 332 hp non-turbo vs 291 hp turbo, less mpg, higher cost, need i go on?

very very shallow....any real help?

seriously, have u ever read about the recall cover up mitsu had
at least i never said it looked ugly

i know more about mitsubishi than you could dream..that was mitsubishi fuso btw a totally different division and it was in japan not US domestic market

I considered an Evo X but IMO it lacks in the looks department while the Z is just gorgeous!

To me it came down to looks. The Z is the sex...while the evo is a bread box :) Exterior and interrior.

I cross shopped both cars.

Then why did you ask?

I asked about the 370 and what made people get their car..thats why im on this forum

so it came down to looks then pretty mutch...nobody builds their cars or sets hp goals or 1/4 mile times??????

i know a great deal about cars in general and i do know a fair share about mitsubishi..

the reliability fight goes towards Nissan simply because they build better cars, now in the end no matter how much we say nissan is better or mitsu is better, its all personal preference.

u have 1 car with more horsepower and 2 seats. and another car with less horsepower and 4 seats, in the end thats the main picture.

Evo X is a $20000 drivetrain in a $15000 car....not to mention the extra doors.

If you check out the archives, you'll see a number of posts on why people chose the Z over other cars they considered.

I myself loved the Evo IX for its telepathic steering and great performance on the track. The Audi tech who does our club scrutineering drives one. He does instructor training at our track events. I got several hot laps in his car and I was in love! When I drove the Evo X I found it a lot less intense, but better finished and a lot more useable as an everyday driver. But I love the intensity. The Z gave me back the intensity in a car I love to look at every day. For me, the Evo X would be a lot more practical. But for once I bought what I really wanted, rather than making the practical choice.

YMMV

thank you mergnthwirker for the helpful reply

but who all here that has spoken about reliability is a mechanic?
