Considering a 370z!

Mitsuyager9 · 07-27-2009, 03:01 AM

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?

Mitsuyager9 · 07-27-2009, 03:57 AM

very very shallow....any real help?

g96818 · 07-27-2009, 03:58 AM

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

Now that reply really isnt fair is it?

You asked for peoples input on the subject. On... I might add.. A forum which you know will be slightly biased toward the Z (Being this is a Nissan forum).

Don't take opinions here the wrong way... most of us are a great bunch of people. And love cars in general. Who are willing to help any newcomers..But come on guy, if you don't want hear opinions (good or bad) that you may not like...don't ask for any.

Anywho with that being said... Welcome to the site.

I've enjoyed my time owning a few Mitsubishis. They are not bad cars, but definitely aren't the best either. I'm sure I'll have no regrets when I get my Z.

alexanderb · 07-27-2009, 07:54 AM

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

zZSportZz · 07-27-2009, 08:02 AM

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.

Mitsuyager9 · 07-27-2009, 09:06 AM

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

sloterg · 07-27-2009, 09:07 AM

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.
