Well i just looked up the two cars and looks like the Z is selling for an average $1500 more than the STI depending on packages...I hope if you do the trade that you get a little something out of it...just because the STI is stage 2 shouldn't mean anything..just hope buyers (traders) remorse doesn't hit you if you do it

you can always buy a beat up truck for those harsh snow times

The thing is sti in Canada is a bit more expensive than the Z cuz the weather. But I'll take your words. Thanks.

Yes replace it, the 370z is a heavy piece of sh!t

I came out of an Sti because is was a pig-understeering PoS that you had to manhandle to get it to go fast.

Z34 is a different beast altogether.

Dealer said i can just trade the car.
I def love the z, and love the sti too! and also i live in AB, Canada, the Z is absolutely not drivable in the winter. BUT the Z looks soooo good!
SHOULD I trade the car????
OMG I wish i can have them both.
Can you guys give me some ideas?

EDIT 1: Thank you guys for all your kind words! I really love my Z but it's a shame that I can only drive her 5 or 6 months a year, maybe even less. STI is a good car too, and yes I vape xD/ We shouldn't judge ppl by what kind cars they drive but how they drive. My car history is 328> GCoupe> the Z, all RWD. Really tired of how rwd drive in the terrible winter even with snow tires. Sliding every corner is fun but not fun for 6 months. I hate have to drive my Q7 or truck everyday in winter. I will talk to the dealer about the price of sti and trade in value.

I'm not so good at cars, but as I know Subaru STi and Nissan 370Z are in different categories. The former is a rally car whereas the latter is a sports car.

So I believe it just depends on your preference.

If you are still considering this horrible idea just do it and let the Z end up with someone who will appreciate it and not trade it in for some goofy looking Subaru!

Absolutely this. If you have to ask you're obviously not a Z enthusiast. I couldn't imagine giving up a Z car, whichever generation it was. Even if I came into money and could have any car, I'd still have a Z and just do whatever I wanted to it. There's nothing special about the subaru, whatever stage it is lol. They almost always end up being annoyingly loud, horribly stanced, flat brimmed boy racer vape mobiles.

only if cash is on top of the deal

Nah - the STI is the new "me too" car. I can't drive damn near 5 miles in any direction without seeing one.

tonythetiger · 07-05-2017, 10:14 AM

dang so many sti haters in this forum, why not just get both? lol jk if your gonna get one, get a low mileage stock, non modified sti with warranty in case theres issues with the motor

Well you are on a Z forum afterall and you can ask about any other car and would have drawn it out regardless.

I used to own an MR2 Spyder and was on a forum like this and some poor guy started adding Porsche items to his Spyder and I have never seen an online beatdown quite like it. This Z forum (with some funny exceptions) is far more tame compared the MR2 guys....

One guy I will never forget said something like:

"That's good why don't you add the Porsche side mirrors? Oh and after that why don't you add the emblems? In fact why don't you just go by a Porsche and GET THE FU_K OUT OF HERE!?!?!"

Good luck with the new ride.... Maybe you will be back!

If I lived somewhere frozen I'd probably go for the STI too....but it would be a DD and I'd have some cheap fair-weather project like a boosted Miata or something.

It's not just Subarus. There's more than a few members here who absolutely lose their **** if someone sells their Z for any other car. You should see what happens if you trade for a Mustang.
