Evo X to 370Z... Who's made the jump?
 

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to trade my 2011 Evo X GSR for a low mile 2010 370Z 6mt base/sport.

Quick background, I went to the Evo after my 350Z was totaled (in bad weather) last February. I wanted comparable performance in an awd configuration - so Evo it was. Im really having a hard time building a bond with the Evo like i had with my Z though. I love the awd and boost, however, the car feels cheap to me, and leaves a lot to be desired. I don't feel like I'm driving a $35-40k car. Oh, and Mitsubishi service is sh1t. :shakes head:

I am curious who here has made the switch from X to Z. Any regrets? Do you miss awd or boost? Btw, I don't need 4 doors or a winter DD, as I can carpool or work from home in the winter...

Nissan service isn't much better, just a heads up

I've seen a lot of people who miss the boost. The Z doesn't have that KICK you get with the evo turbo, but it does still go pretty fast(you just don't really feel it).

Depending on what you mean by service, I've had a very pleasant experience with Nissan's service reps. You just have to find the person with the good attitude at the dealership, there's always at least one!

The 370z interior is wayyyy better! I do love the evo seats though..

I've been in an EVO X and the interior did not impress me at all. Most people, if not all, buy the EVO X merely for the performance. I think you'd be happy in a 2-door sports car if you got no family yet.

I forgot to mention my dads next door neighbor is the service manager at Nissan :tup:

The Evo's recaros are nice... I never considered upgrading my seats in the 350, but after seat time in the Evo, I will probably put seats on my todo list for the 370.

Yeah, the interior is kinda shitty. I definitely bought the car bc of its performance capabilities.

I've never had a problem. Depends on the dealer, not the brand.

Nor does it have that KICK you get with VTEC. And thank God for that in both counts.

LOL, get the Z :icon17:

You are lucky, I have not met a good Nissan dealer (been to about 9 of them). Get a Mercedes if you want real service. Toyota isn't great, but at least their cars don't break.

I feel the same way about Mitsu. I walked in to their dealership to pick up the car, and almost backed out of the deal bc of how sketch the dealership and salespeople were. It wasn't isolated to that dealership either... every one I've been to has been meh at best.

I think the Evo 8 was the ugliest car ever made, period. I can actually look at Evo X's without throwing up but it still looks like a cracker jack box car to me. I wouldnt give 10k for one much less 30.

Z it is.

I think EvoX's front wins, but all the others including interior, Z dominates
Yes, I do love Evo's Kicking boost and it was easier to drive.
I felt like Evo was driving me, but when I am in Z, I feel like I am driving Z.
Plus, Evo has so much tuning potential than Z, that's another thing I miss Evo.
Fun factor=Z, go fast=EvoX
Conclusion=I wanted a fun car and people's attention ;)

I own both a new evo and a 2010 Z, yes interior is better in the Z but the performance is so much better in the evo. I can track my evo with the alot more confidence rain or shine whereas my Z im always worried with grip. Depends on what aspect your going for you it seems youll like the Z more
