Would you buy again?

import111 · 11-03-2010, 10:43 PM

I voted undecided. It would be between the Evo X MR and the 370Z. I am having major back issues and it hurts to shift sometimes. With an Evo X MR the twin clutch paddle shift would make driving less painful and it would be just as good a car around a race track...just not as good looking.

The NSX was awesome for its time. I REALLY! wish Honda/Acura had kept the driveline up with the times and kept the car. It still looks good, even without a re-vamp.

I'd do a ModShack as life is too short. Next desired vehicle: Lotus Evora.

I kept my G35 5 years which will probably be the longest I keep a personal " toy " car... I had an integra first for 2 years, s2000 for 2, totaled it, and got another one ( so I was in the exact situation with the S and got another ! ) kept the new S for 1 year than traded it for the G35 Coupe when it came out, rocked it for 5 years and traded up for the 370z but I can honestly say now, after replacing my g35 motor at 105k after it ate oil its whole life, and now my Z eating oil not being the most reliable thing at 10k, If I got a check tomorrow I would prob go straight for a CPO 335xi ... AWD with a stock turbo and a warranty to 100k....

sad but true . also it would me a much more practical vehicle for New York being AWD and with 4 doors and a backseat.

I love my Z but Nissan in general has lost some points with me in the last few years. Awesome value on their vehicles though as long as they stay reliable.

But I voted undecided because I def am a fan of nissan designs and cars but the reliablility issues have me weary at this momment, but I think before my time is up on this planet I will own another Nissan... Especially a Z with a stock turbo if it comes with a new car warranty, lmao!

My answer is no, sadly. After buying the Z, I soon didn't fit in it. I had grown a couple of inches, and gained some weight.

So now, the Z is gone, and I'm in a G37. So far, I like it much better. Less harsh, more classy, pratically the same power and tranny, striking looks: everything I wanted from the Z.

yup!

I love my Z and the interior of the touring in a sports car like this is awesome. It's fun, a little luxury feeling especially with the Navi and I could fix it up .. Most definitely would buy it again .. and some new JDM goodies

sonic370 · 11-04-2010, 07:25 AM

i may buy again not sure. depends on what the new models look like in a couple of years. and how much more hp they get. i don't think they can improve on the auto much which is what i drive,but the mt needs a major upgrade...

all cars have issues and imho most but not all are 100% owner related....

but a stang or camaro noway... im to use to no back seat,no one ask for rides..... it will either be another z or (cover your eyes) a corvette low mileage c6..

Footloose301 · 11-04-2010, 09:24 AM

I did buy again!

Seems the bad seats don't dissuade them. I myself am going to join the Z06 camp in a few months I think.

The bad seats in the Corvette aren't a problem unless you are driving on track, but 99% of Corvette owners never take there car to a track so it isn't a huge concern for most.

The Z06 is a nice vehicle, I've driven a few on track. Even though I was intoxicated by the awesome power of the C6 Z06 I still liked the handling of the Z better. I even had a Z06 owner drive my car and he was quite surprised at how capable it was.

Transmission war continues.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 6m.

Quickest Na z is 6m mine is 12.9 in a 6 m. The tranny Is perfectly fine! Not notchy or loud, I drive a 2008 gt mustang. That tranny is bad ours is a thousand times smoother.

Great picture, the G37 looks really nice there
