OP, any chance you can swing picking up a beater for a daily w/more room? maybe an old pickup or suv perhaps? Then you could keep the Z and have the best of both worlds.

I'm gonna grab a 4runner I think? Need something that'll carry the dog and make through the snow on ski trips!

I'm 6'4" 200lbs and sometimes I have problems getting out, but only when people park right next to me out in the boonies for absolutely no reason what so ever. I have debated trading it in for an Evo or STI just for the four doors, however, the Z is a true sports car. Sure its harsh, small, and impractical, but at the end of the day it still gets my adrenaline going taking corners with VDC off. Evos and STIs are great because of the AWD, but the Z just has that "surprise" factor. I've had an AWD car, 2007 Audi S4, it was fun but not anything compared to the Z. Only do it if you need the room! Just my

what about an Xterra? New or used, I'm pretty sure you can get them cheaper and we love our Off Road X to death. (honestly, I love it as much as the Z). Our pup loves the X as well, got the slobber on the inside of the windows to prove it.


Oh, and to the OP, as someone else stated, dude, you are gonna take a beating on your trade in on the Z, that money lost could probably go a long way toward a reliable older dd...food for thought.

My DD is a 1999 chev cavalier Z24,(my wifes ex car) there is no way a Z can be a DD here in PR and be worth anything after 5 years. The roads have a lot of potholes, it rains and floods, the parking lots spots are small also there is a lot of stop and go traffic (I have a manual). ( I have to open the door almost completely to get in and out).

Today I am looking at a Lexus IS-F, depending on its conditon I will buy it and then sell my Z. The Lexus is almost the perfect car for me (just lacks the looks of the Z) but in my opinion it beats the Z in everything else.
