I drive it from time to time. i like it, but it doesnt even begin to comapre to the Z. The response in the Z (acceleration and steering) is sooo much better. She Loves it, which is good. She has had a juke, rogue, and an altima (all in the last 4 years). I think this one she will keep for a while.

I split my DD between the z and an fj cruiser. Complete opposite driving experiences but equally fun.

Daily driver: 04 Subaru Forester XT with stg.2 mods / tune. Fun little car that I can take camping, hiking, kayaking, etc. It's nice for what it is.

Recently replaced my STI hatchback with a 370z sport-tech. This thing is a ton of fun to drive, definitely missed the RWD although I may not be saying that when the snow hits.

My DD is 2011 Toyota.

Not quite as much fun as my Z, but this sweet ride really gets noticed on the road.

Sporting the Harley Davidson sticker and equipped with the optional tow package, it certainly gets the attention of a lot of babes… Albeit blue haired ones, but babes just the same…

52mpg

Love, Spoiler

the fit is a good dd if youre not in a rush to get anywhere. my wife has the GK too and the thing is so faking slow with its CVT it pisses me off most of the time. i had the manual ones for 2 gens as dd and the GE was not bad. it was doing 0-60 in about 7.5 sec which is about as fast as your forester.. or quicker than a 240z

After averaging 2,500 miles a month after buying the Z, I've gotten a Dodge Dart for real cheap as a daily and winter car. Kinda fun to drive, but the issues are scaring me and i might sell it soon. Same engine in the Abarth 500 (1.4T) with a 6MT. Averaging 25ish mpg compared to 19 in the Z, which is lower than i expected.

I bought a Dart brand new, the 2.0L, and had it for about 25K miles.
I liked it.

huh, if u want mpg, the Fit is actually pretty good. i got 40.2mpg when i borrowed my wife's for a week and i wasnt doing anything special.

when i asked the taxi driver how much his pos prius was getting in real world, he said 49-50mpg. dat's it? while contaminating the environment with its batteries? wtf.
