Which car would you pick?

Time for a poll!

AKI370z · 07-18-2012, 11:22 AM

I owned a 335i, and now I own a 370z.
335i is probably the most unreliable car I ever driven, and was traded in for my Z.

2 Hpfp failed, water pump failed, squeaky brakes, random codes appearing then disappearing, and dead battery. This was all under 35k Miles.
If you have cash for repairs then go ahead and buy the 335i. After warranty is done the 335i will devalue even more. a BMW battery is $500 for replacement and last only 3 years.

Here are 5 reason to get a 370z over a 335i.

1: Reliability
2: Better Gas Mileage
3: 19'' Rays VS Ugly BMW 17'' wheels.
4: Faster Stock for Stock
5: More Rare: all 3 series have the same body style unless your buying an m3.

Evo X interior will make u punch yourself in the face. 335's are great, but as stated above, they are notrious for HPFP and injector probs, the 5.0's are great cars and dont really have much bad to say about them other than u will probably see 5 between your home and work. 370z's are a great all around car.
my chouce

1)370z
2)5.0
3)335
4)
5)
6)

You lose out on two small seats if you decide to get the coupe. & You also dont get the nav knob that BMWs come with.

BUT, with 5-6 grand you can get a single turbo or twin turbo setup for a little more and easily get over 400. Even 450.

Just a thought!

You can take a cab whenever you want, or rent a car with more space.

^^^^He was only making a joke on the '12 for 12...

OP, out of what you listed obviously I would choose a Z. But the '13 5.0 would get a serious look. In the end I would still choose the Z.

Evofusion · 07-18-2012, 12:03 PM

1. 370z
2. 5.0 (how many people have left the z for a 5.0 in this forum?

)
3. 335
4. not the evo

I have the Z for just me. Otherwise I have my Altima or the wife's car if we need to go somewhere with the kid.

UNKNOWN_370 · 07-18-2012, 12:29 PM

i'm not sure why you guys are dismissing the potential of the evo. cover the interior in alcantara and carbon fiber and call it a day. Evo's are hella fun.

If your goal is purely power and speed, then the Z is not your choice. If you want a sexy (subjective but all of us here agree), fun 2 door sports car feel with not the most, but still plenty of grunt, get the Z. Your price range seems pretty broad, though with that BMW in there.
