Default Another 370z Review, this time PG, 6MT

Well, my initial test drive of the 370z was a Black 7AT Touring model.

Today I was luckily enough to test drive a PG 6 speed Touring - Sport.

Pros:
+ Love the color in the sun, LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!

+ The permission interior with the PG looks amazing, and I honestly wouldn't think of getting sick of it because it makes the cockpit feel larger almost, not as confined.

+ Rev Match, was amazing, more intelligent that I thought... it got the RPMS ready for me before I actually downshifted... AMAZING!

+ Power .... 332 hp

Cons:
- Blind Spots

- Clutch will take some time to get use to.


My dilemma, I have an 06 SI right now that I'm thinking of selling and getting a shitty car for the mean time and saving for a year, or more I'll pay off my cars debt and then what I get I'll keep putting money towards...

Do you think this is a good idea or not?


Enjoy the pictures!

Sounds like money is an issue. Do not get hung out for a car. If you can, wait a year and try to pick a low mileage used one. Then a lot of the initial hit will be gone. With the cab and the Nismo, the normal 370z may get traded in.

I think I should sale my car, and get a shitty one and save enough for the downpayment..

and when I mean shitty not as in a bad way but not new, and not 7k miles.

but maybe a maxima 6speed? like 00-02?

Keep the Civic until you can afford the Z. Don't do anything stupid.

Wait until you can put at least 1/4 of the car's total sale value down, by then you might just get a deal on something used with low miles and a severe price cut.
