Wow factor

When you buy bimmers audis and muscle cars. You are also buying convenience and functionality. Albeit, this car is very functional, for a sports car. The others are just functional as cars in general.

Fun factor, this car is way more fun for the money. If you are trying to get to 60 as fast as you can? This car will get there very fast, BUT you can buy faster ones still for the same price. But if you have advanced driving ability and want a car that will do anything you ask it to??? The Z IS FOR YOU. IMHO, No car in the price range handles as well and as true as the Z.

I would just test drive it first. Then comme back on the forum and ask more questions and use our search for whatever concerns you have. Go to the forums of other cars you are interested in as well. Test drive all the cars you like. Its the best way to get a feel for what you want out of a car.

They can't be THAT boring.
