4) scion/subie FR-S/BRZ
5) hyundai veloster turbo

The Genesis Coupé is really only good in the 3.8 spec. The 2.0T just doesn't feel right despite how good it looks on paper. The rest of that list I can agree with though.

meat head, check it out. Trading the Z in for a CRZ as a DAILY. how am i comparing it to the Z? is a CRZ BETTER as a DAILY, **** yea it is. and yes, I was trying to save a few bucks here and there, did I not mention it?

some 370z fanboys on this forum really ruins it for other people. the Z is a great car, but its not the only great car out there. get over it. I appreciate cars for what they are and there are a lot of great cars out there.

Anyways, i've decided to keep the Z and i'll be getting the 240Z still. i just wont have the same plans I did for the 370z.

wheee! 10-02-2012 11:30 AM

All you really need is a bigger garage.... ;)

Reasons for considering the CRZ:
1. Cheap (to buy and maintain)
2. Pretty fun for a gas saver
3. Don't need 2 fun cars (370z and 240z)
4. More room for my dog

What do you guys think?

Cheap to buy and maintain...used Toyota Corolla. It's never cheap to buy a new car. I think you need to conduct an analysis of how much $ you lose by only keeping the Z a short time and the diminished value of driving a new car off the dealer lot. If you want a project car (for fun) and a good all around car, get something with 4 doors, 5 seats and some storage capacity. Just my $.02

edub370 10-02-2012 02:28 PM

golf gti will be a MUCH funner car to live with on a daily basis IMO

b1adesofcha0s 10-02-2012 02:44 PM

If you want a cheap DD to save some money, you're better off buying something slightly/moderately used than a brand new car. You said the new CRZ was like $21k? That's not much less than you will get for trading/selling your Z. IMO if you really want to save some money you should be looking in the $10-15k range. That's just my :twocents:

I have a 240Z and a 370Z -- they are like bookends (old and new). Both fun in their own ways.

Still better than a CRZ and has room for improvement through modification. Especially with the revised turbo engine. Modding would be cheap since it's FI and still be very streetable. Price would be right too. I'm looking at the bigger pic. And the 2.0 isn't as bad as some reviewers make it. If you go above it's price range, there are better cars. But in it's price range... Hard to beat for overall power/performance/features/dd ability. It's still a well rounded car regardless.

I'm not trying to be mean or a douche in any way but after reading this thread it seems like you've already made the decision before posting here. Every bit of advice people have given you you always back up the CRZ and why it is better. So what is the point in even asking for advice if you shut everybodys opinion out the window?

thread should close already, but ill reply to this anyways. i never said the crz was a better option then the other cars mentioned. what i did say is that i prefer the looks of a crz over any of the hyundais or fiats. people are suggesting that i get a 5 seater, then i stated that i didnt need 5 seats. but yea, im keeping the Z....for now anyways.

I don't think anything "fun" can get out of the CRZ. It is a cute little car for commute but not really much you can do about it, performance wise.

I know a couple of people that would disagree with that strongly.

lemon-fresh 10-02-2012 04:34 PM

Still can't figure out why a s2000 wouldn't work for you.

If the OP already has a 240z, he can have motoring-fun with the 240z, so it's all good.

I see the problem is the title of the thread " Trade in my 370z for a CRZ? "...

10 out of 10 people will be like :icon14: WTH trade in a Z for a CRZ...?? :icon17:

And the OP never say the CRZ will have the same level of fun like the Z, he just say for a gas-saver, CRZ is good....

That's fine... because within the choices of hybrid... there's really not much to choose from, Prius.. or CRZ... or that Lexus CT.... and the Lexus is $$$$...

Assuming the OP is thinking about hybrid only, between Prius and CRZ.... I would choose CRZ for sure

Go ahead OP, you have a fun legendary 240z as a weekend fun car, and you have a CRZ fuel saver as a DD... what's the problem....

Make sure keep the 240z in good shape showroom condition... :tup:

And next time put a better title than "Trade in my 370z for a CRZ?"

Cos that really make you and the thread look............ :icon14: :ugh2: :shakes head: :eekdance: :eek: :wtf2:

cheers :icon17:

So you would prefer to go to meets with guys who do not know the difference between a 350 and a 370z? and if you were to throw them the Fairlady badge, they would not even know what car it was? or the guy who thinks he can swap a hybrid engine for "who the hell knows"? you can't really even service these types of cars yourself let alone think you can swap an the engine! these cars are not the Honda civics of the past. Some of those people are still stuck with the ancient times of the Fast and Furious days.

Anyways I am bored of trashing you. no offense. moving on.
