Daily Driver: GTI or 370Z

CMadison · 10-18-2013, 04:19 PM

I just read this thread, but thought I could add some personal experience since I just switched from a 2008 GTI to a 2012 Z. I miss the gas mileage a bit from the switch and being able to carry larger items like golf clubs or coolers, etc. For instance, I can't fill more than 2 5-gallon water jugs at a time. It was also nice being kinda unassuming on the road, not bringing much attention to myself in a mid-sized city.

On the other hand, I love the Z's boost in HP and handling, but there aren't many Zs out there and I have to remind myself to tone it down in daily traffic because my Z is the only one like it in town. That wouldn't be the case in SD, though. Also, the Z gets the "pussy factor" bump-up over the GTI, since it is much sexier. That will help since you're single.

Hope this helps a bit.
