What you going to do when you get tired of the gtr? Pretty sure didn't expect the 370 to sit in garage when you bought it.

What does your wife drive btw?

The BRAND NEW Q50S would make douche more sense!!
Consider a Mercedes GLA45AMG, Chevy SS, Jaguar xe-r all seem more comfortable for a small family. if you wanna save a Lil dough and get TOP performance...

So many great cars that are WAAAAY more suitable.look at the gla45 amg. It will behave like a GT-R. have room for a family. Get to 60 in 4.2 seconds and still average 25mpg. Remember, you have to launch control a million times for the gtr to hit sub3 seconds. GtR typically gets out on just under 4 seconds. So acceleration should feel similar and the Benz sounds waaaaaay better.

I have almost three year old twin boys and just went the opposite route. Sold the 4dr Audi and bought the Z and an SUV instead. The only part that sucks is I can't take the boys for a ride in the Z, which they would love to do. I figure I'll hang on to it a couple years and look at swapping it out for a used GTR too.

Tried to find an all-around vehicle and the closest I came was an SQ5. It was ok but it's the last production year for it and would expect to take a big hit once the new models roll in. There wasn't a do it all that really floated my boat, at least not at a reasonable price range.

And yes I realize there's a new Z coming out shortly but a forecasted 4 banger turbo is one thing in a small sedan or hatch, but not a sports car if you ask me.

In short, I don't think your plan is unreasonable. Finding a used GTR that hasn't been driven into the ground is another story.

Buying a used GTR.?Make sure it is not a unit...that is used roughly,most of the GTR in my market [S'pore] are rubbish,needs huge repair,which is very costly.

I practically got my Z after seeing your videos. Hard decision, in my opinion I would sell the Z and get a nice GTR.

Thanks,

I wouldn't even consider selling it but she won't let me put him in the front at all so I never even drive it. I figure why not just upgrade now and get something i have wanted for years on end instead? Time will tell.

Porche Panamera... cost the same, looks ok but more comfy and still sporty.
