Thinking about selling the Z

Chuck33079

The interior does suck, but I never had one issue with mine. Most of the STI owners I know have had zero problems as well. Although, he's considering a DSM. Reliabilty may not be at the top of his priority list. Personally, if I'm the OP I'd keep the Z for a few years and see what's on the market then.

I don't see why anyone on this forum would suggest going from a nismo to an ugly awd rally car.

so what would you recommend?
some other rwd N/A car?

sorry if the cars im looking into dont interest you but im open to suggestions unless you just want to spam and bump post count....

Man on man. Trading in a Nismo Z for a JUKE?!?!?! What?? How can a Juke be more fun???? I could not ever imagine doing that. Even if it was a financial thing. I could see trading it in for another performance car such as the STi if you need the space and AWD with your weather situation (like me - going to move to CO), but I couldn't see the reasoning for saying the z isn't fun enough. Maybe you're not driving it right? Hah I kid I kid.

But if you are determined to change things up, the most fun alternative is getting a an STi and prepare it to go off roading. Or a jeep wrangler to go off roading. But for just street driving, I'd stick with the z

Or to save money you get get an frs

Unless it's a Juke-R!

the juke is waaaaayyy more fun than you guys give it credit for. It's VERY torquey. Has more torque feel than the Z. it's slower but fun. That engine is easy to mod as well. not looking at it from the stock standpoint but from a tuner standpoint. The juke will give you cheaper mod access and it truly is a fun car. I've driven the AWD version. I like a lot.

LOL at whoever builds up a Juke. I saw a article once somewhere on a Juke turbo build, there was tons of money put into it and had gobs of hp, I'm sure it would dominate my stock 370 but who cares when it looks like a Juke? I would much rather build off the Z platform which is way better than a suv, don't care how much more expensive it would be. You can put money into anything to make it fast, doesn't necessarily mean it makes sense to do though. That's just my opinion. Oh and if your not having fun with the Z I don't think AWD is the route to go, if anything I'd say it's less fun since it will do nothing but grip. No throwing the back end out with those, without tons of effort put into it that is.

looks are subjective, while i wouldn't trade my Z. I do like the fact i can modify turbos for cheap. i like the jukes looks and love the way it drives. I wish there were more valid TEST DRIVEN OPINIONS ON HERE..

If you arent 100% confident in your decsion dont do it OP, you'll regret it later.

Ok people, please don't beat me, but I've heard good things about the Focus ST.

Great car

Good luck on your search. a E46 M3 is also a nice option if your looking for something with 4seats RWD.

luigi90210

is it any good?

I havent heard much about the focus besides its a good econobox

any real difference between that and the MS3?

Boost the motor and never look back. Think about what your goals are for your next car and then once you find a car that matches your goals, then think about selling the Z. Or keeep it...

luigi90210

well im looking something DD, semi roomy, cheap to make fast for DD(thats where the factory turbo option comes in) and something i can just take to the track occasionally(like once every few months), not to be the fastest person out there but just something to have fun in

oh and i want some luxuries like a sunroof, leather seats, and something i can take off road occasionally(i have had to take my Z off road before for work and it is probably one of the scariest things i have done)

honestly i wish i could afford paying 2 car payments but at 19 i cant
if i bought outright thats another story but then im looking at older cars, and realistically i could afford a honda civic or something but i dont want a honda

if i could keep my Z i would turn it into a 100% track car but unfortunately its either keep it and start to hate the car slowly(like the blind spots are getting on my nerves and i hate the ride quality, its just too stiff for street driving), or sell it and get something better suited for DD
