Not looking for another 4 cyl/turbo/awd car, I had my fun with the wrx and want an N/A motor with no turbo. Thanks for the tip though.

Not much has to be done to make the car look great and if you plan to be in the car for long periods of time I would take it over the S2k.

I do commute up to SF so I must be that metrosexual asshat you guys were mentioning? LOL Trust me, seen plenty of D-bag closet gay suby owners too, all the brands have 'em.

Next car is an STi, M3/5, or Z06. Although I still miss that AWD on a wet twisty road.
Yeah, I use to get around 19-22 mpg in my wrx. My wrx just had Stage 2, it was fun, but I needed something new after 2.5 years. Yeah, I already have my mods setup, the Veilside V1 CF Front Lip, Tein Coils, 19x9.5/10.5 +12 wheels, Nismo CBE, etc. Stock exhaust sounds amazing when you romp on it, that is awesome, I love it. I think I am just going to go through with it unless something else pops up.
John

BTW, M3/M5/Z06 sounds nice. My next car hopefully will be the e92 M3. If I can find a clean 08-09 with low miles in the 30's, It's mine! THAT car is pure secks.

Haha, I didn't say "I" see a lot of douchebag drivers down south, that's what everyone is telling me. I don't see why everyone is hating, you can't hate on getting a car because some owners are ***s, there are *** owners in every car you buy, even wrx/sti people. SRT4 has major phail though, I haven't seen one non-homo driver yet lol.

i drive a g35 coupe, and i agree, like 99.998% of them/us are not nice people... but you could say the same thing about a lot of wrx and sti owners too lol

edit
and like 99.999% of 350z owners are not nice people also

Shady lol. I never run into modded G/Z's at all. I never got cut off, revved at, etc. by that car. Like I said, I barely see them around or see a modded one. I saw 2 in my whole life from what I can remember.

I'm going to go check out the black Z tomorrow, if it drives good and doesn't have low oil or weird noises, I might just get it. If I notice any problems, then that is a sign to stay away from a Z.

I might look into extending the warranty so I don't run the chance of having the oil problem when the current warranty runs out and then have to pay thousands.

The steering on the Z's tend to be overly weighted, it feels good but not necessarily as sharp as the steering wheel will lead you to believe. I'd let you try mine but it's an... auto.

Haha, I test drove an auto last night. Auto annoyed me, but I could tell it was a fun car. Like I said, I don't need a very fast, track loving car. I just want a pretty quick car, and from what I saw, it was quick enough. Yes you can make other cars a lot faster, but that isn't what I'm looking for.

It felt solid, like I said I will check it out tomorrow and give everything a look over, and if I really enjoy driving the stick and think I would have fun, then I'll get it because that is what matters.

Jen actually wanted a 350Z before she bought her first STI. After looking at them and reading up in the Z forums as Flukewrx said they have problems. Imho, the interior kinda sucks.

If you really must go with a Nissan, why not look for a 69' thru 72' Datsun 510 with a VQ35 engine in it.. Very quick and nimble..

Hmmm, they tend to have problems, but almost all sporty cars have problems you know? I found another 07 with 20k miles, I rarely drive it and would check the oil weekly for any oil consumption, I'll look into extending the warranty.

The interior is better than the WRX Interior IMHO. The WRX is not really amazing, it's just average, when I was in the Z, the gauges, center console, seats were better for me. So Idk.



As for the forester, I'm sure there are many other faster cars than the Z for cheaper, but I'm not really getting the car to track or to get to 60 in 4 seconds, I just want a pretty nice looking, smooth nice sounding DD. I'm still open to considerations for other cars.

Ahhhh, this is hard, I don't know what to do.

Yeah, because most people buy Forseters for the track.

You've clearly made up your mind already. What else did you want to hear besides "Oh yea a Z is the best idea ever"?

No mods at all. It's annoying me how many people hate on the drivers when I rarely ever see that happening around me. Makes it feel great for me to get a new Z huh?
Spend couple days in San Francisco/upper peninsula area where I live. There are a ton of yuppies with G's/Z's/M3's that think they are the most dopest sh*t ever y0. I live right next to two schools and I cannot tell you how many kids AND parents with those cars are total ego maniacs.

Oh yeah, because I'm going to go buy a forester because it gets to 60mph faster than the Z. WTF? I'm not getting a forester, I'm young, I don't have kids, I don't use my car to transport things, Just want a small, quick car that has some style. I didn't make up my mind because I wouldn't be asking for your opinion now would I? I would of went and bought it already, but I'm seriously thinking, what else is there? There isn't much to choose from cause I can't afford much and I want specific things in a car. Sorry if my taste annoys you.

Hmm, maybe. I know how it is, there are plenty of wrx/sti owners who think they are the dopest sh*t every y0 too. Every car has that. Maybe Z/G's have more? Idk, all I know is where I live (SSJ) there are barely any Z's/G's that are modded or who drive like douches, I won't drive around thinking I'm gangsta though.

Sounds good. I'll look into that.
