I have two DD. The main one is a 2015 Q50 Premium and the other is my good ol' 2009 VW Jetta.

2006 Acura TL A-Spec Dynamic.
The "dynamic" moniker wasn't actually well known, besides for in dealerships (and on the sales summary sheet). The Dynamic came with a 6MT, LSD, Brembo brakes on the front, amongst some other minor goodies over the auto version. I also have the OEM Navi in mine, and I've added some bolt ons over the years. Exhaust, intake, wheels, beefier rear swaybar, throttle body spacer, lowering springs, etc... I'm an old school Honda guy, but these days Honda/Acura is nothing short of disappointing. The companies have become "vanilla" through and through, since 2008. Reliability sucks. Any trace of sportiness is gone. Just disappointing. It's sad when Hyundai/Kia have surpassed Acura/Honda in every way imaginable. Speaking of which, I also have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Limited w/ Navi, however, it's the wife's daily that I occasionally drive... I try to avoid it though, due to it being an auto. It has good power (274hp and 270lbft) and full torque is available from about 1600rpm. Besides the auto transmission, the suspension annoys me. It's just waaaaay too soft for my liking. The wife always gets queasy when I drive because the car nose dives when braking even moderately, or has annoying body roll in the corners (without pushing it much). I'm sure it could easily be addressed with some coilovers and swaybar, but I have no desire dumping money into that car. However, it has been reliable as hell for us. In 80000 miles, it's been to the dealership for one actual issue. Last edited by Nithmo; 10-02-2016 at 01:45 PM. |

I've got an old 06 maxima, good car, good ride, good in the snow, dependable, but can't compare to the Z in anything except, that it's a Nissan!

2010 G37s sedan - sits higher, quieter, softer, red leather, same VQ grunt. Plenty sporty. Sometimes I feel I no longer need the Z. Stupid thought goes away when I get into the Z. The G simply does not react to braking and steering input with the same urgency and directness as my Z (275/285 RE71, coilovers, SPL arms).
2010 Jetta TDI wagon - love low end the torque, DSG, big trunk, great stereo, turbo diesel! Not comparable to Z.

Test drove a 2014 at a Mazda event, sadly things had gotten more expensive as the fully loaded one went for 30k+....but the interior once again felt and looked great, leather seats were supple (stiff sport seats in my G), interior somewhat put the G's interior to shame. I do however love the synergy on having Z and G, easy for me to deal with maintenance and research.
