Bye Bye Z
 

So I will be selling my Z soon and i have a couple of cars that im looking at.

-BMW 335is
-2013 Audi s5
-Used Lexus isF 2011+

So while most of you will say "drive the car and see what you like" i would also like to hear about any experiences you guys have had with any of these cars. One of the main reasons why ill be selling the Z is because it is not very practical for daily driving. While the Z is extremely fun some things have just started to annoy me with time.

With that in mind what do you guys think? I just want some more comfort without really losing much of the sporty feel of the Z oh and more space is a plus. Finally, i dont want a much slower car than my Z ( i have cb exhaust, hfc, and intakes ) and i dont mind having to mod a car a bit. All opinions welcomed :driving:

Get the bimmer. Super mod friendly and cheaper to mod

335 for sure!

Ill sell you a 2010 super silver gtr 8k miles for $73k

Get a 370 roadster...

Of the three I would go with an S5.

The Supercharged engine is *extremely* flexible. The 335 is a beast no doubt but I see 3 series everywhere. I see far less A5s, let alone S5s. I prefer Audi's interior as well as MMI over iDrive 2.0. If you put a gun to my head and said pick a 3 series, the 335 would be it. Make mine white with red leather interior: a pretty rare combo.

Curious though: when you say space how much do you really want/need? The two coupes are not home haulers by any stretch and I would only put people I don't like that much in the back seats unless children. :)

Reliability would be with the iSF. Whichever sedan you pick will have more room than the 370.

I'd do the isf for looks and reliability. There are way to many 335s in the road.

ISF woud be my pick. 335 seems like the Acccord of BMW. S5 is nice but i'll never own a VW or AUDI because of reliability.

Well I don't need a car for a family so that much space is not required. I live in Miami though and going to the beach is a hassle because not even a small cooler fits in the trunk and I like to travel also and can barely fit a suitcase in the trunk.
Having some seats for my friends would be nice as well.

As for what you guys have said about the 335is is true I hate seeing a 3 series EVERYWHERE. I hear the supercharged v6 in the Audi is great I could pull an extra 70-80 hp and torque out of the car easily with a pulley, exhaust, air filter and tune.

The audi's interior is gorgeous, this car will be my dd and I know the Audi will be more comfortable I'm just worried it might not be as fun to drive as the BMW or isF.

Isf ftw.

I've really been considering it but I had an is350 and I'm worried I'll get bored of the car cause it'll feel like something old.

Then take it out of your list of choices you silly SOB! :ughdance:

For what it's worth...my wife and I take my car on road trips as much as possible. I used to drive 2 hours to Ft. Myers every weekend and I had to put a 3x2x2 dog cage in the back, plus my travel bag and a separate bag for all of the dog stuff. Most times I also had my computer bag back there too because I would go straight from work.

Though it's not as practical as the other cars you're looking at...it can be done. If you really want to trade still...go with the Lexus. I feel like I see way too many BMWs on the road these days.

Out of those 3 I would pick the ISF
