Compliment to a 370Z

zae757 · 03-31-2014, 05:40 PM

I currently have a 2010 370Z and love it to death. I put about 10k on her each summer just driving around enjoying her. Living in PA, I can't drive it year round because it's a rear wheel drive car. I also have a 2004 honda civic and she hit 203k miles last week. It feels like she might have one more summer in her so I'm looking for another car now.

What's a good 4 door compliment car to the 370Z? Definitely don't want to do the Maxima though...

G37 Hands down.

rAiN · 03-31-2014, 08:25 PM

Im in the same boat, iam looking at the mazda3 or corolla s at the moment.

critical · 03-31-2014, 08:26 PM

corolla s is so uncomfortable to drive. i'm quite big however.

I really like the Lexus IS 350 F SPORT AWD. I may be getting this car down the road very soon. However, I'm keeping my Z as well.

Yea, crazy thing is I was looking at a IS250 AWD, the 350 is pretty much the same just with more horses. I see too many ppl with the G37 sedan, so that'll be last on the list for me.

That Acura TL is kind of tough though too...

The price of both vehicles are good but a little small. I'd suggest something with a little more space..just being real

My GF just bought the RWD one. It would be a fantastic daily driver. The FSport seats are some of the best I've ever sat in.

Mazda 6 GT - Yup thats right. Drive one. Very fun car! and it has a classy look. Not too pricey either

Are you buying new or used? What sort of % spread will you be using this car versus the Z (50% of the time...)? Is it just you driving both?

I would find it hard to justify a new car for just 50% of the time, especially since it's being driven in the winter as a "beater" equivalent.

- Go used beater. Really, anything as long as it runs and does what you need.
- If you go new, I'd suggest a quality econocar around $20k that can still be sold in 10 years when you get her up to 150k+ miles as well. Toyota, Honda, whatever lasts a good deal on the inside.

If you can swing new and swing solid at $45k and lower, then get whatever I guess.

I would just then say don't get something sporty or anywhere close to the same category as the Z. Don't make it an agonizing choice which car to drive on a sunny day to work. If it's agonizing, you may as well sell the Z and get the year-round car, ya know?
