Yep, Thinkin' 'Bout Tradin' In On A 2013 Midnight Blue

DarkZ · 06-17-2012, 10:30 AM

I don't mind the new 19" wheels, but honestly, I'm thinking about getting the Base Touring model. I have heard a rumor that the 10 spoke cool looking roadster wheels will be the new standard 18" base wheels, which is a nice change from the same old 5 spoke cookie cutter wheels that come standard on every vehicle made..... and I think they will go great with the Midnight Blue.

I have also grown to like the lines more on the non-sport model without the rear spoiler. Everything just looks like it flows better to me. I know there will be a slight handling difference with the new "euro tuned" suspension and I plan on test driving both. Since I'm opting for the auto daily-driver version anyway, I don't really plan on taking it to the track so the more comfy the suspension, the better. Not to mention, it will be a tad bit easier on the wallet.

Heck, if I want better handling, I'll just lower it an inch.

Get the 7-AT with no concerns DarkZ.

My Z is a daily driver in Houston, and I didn't even consider getting the manual. Once you learn the paddle shifters; i.e. they become second nature, it's a blast driving.
