Z vs Gen.

Here what I think about the Gen Coup. M. Oldest son is 11 so in 5 yrs I should be able to pick up a Gen Coup for dirt cheap for my kid and if the factory warranty is transferable then it will still have 5 yrs of warranty left on it.

Slow car that's why I thought of the Gen Coup? Oh you meant something like a insite or prius.

But slow doesn't dictate that the car cannot be some level of fun or unique.

I don't think that a kid necessarily needs some beater that will get them laughed at. In fact, a used Miata isn't a bad idea. It's not st00pid fast, but it is cool looking and fun to drive. A used gen coupe 4-cyl fits this as well imo.

I guess it depends on how the will treat the car. I know I killed the first car I drove, between me and my brother I dont think there was a spot on the car that wasnt dented or scrapped or whatever. Now I baby the hell out of the cars inside and outside, but drive it semi hard.

From what I've read, once the transfers, the warranty reduces to 5/60, the 10/100 is only to the original purchaser. So I think if u changed the owner name after 5 years, it would be void of warranty for owner 2. So let's say u transfer the car after 1 year. Instead of 9 years of warranty left, there would only be 4 years. Everything has a catch.
