Thinking about selling the Z
I have been thinking about selling my Nismo 370z(most likely trading it in)
in all honesty i love my Z but im bored of it, i was thinking about either getting an EVO 8/9, GSX Eclipse, Subaru WRX/STI hatchback, Juke AWD, or if nissan releases a Silvia S16 i would want that as well any other cars you guys would recommend? im looking like 4banger turbo, preferably AWD or RWD, im not a fan of FWD |

i honestly dont know why, more room i guess
the Z is so sexy, its fast, and it corners extremely well, i just dont have fun driving it anymore, even back roads are starting to bore me with that car but when i drive my brothers Eclipse GS-T Sypder(Use to be mine but i gave it to him when i bought the Z) i have a blast in it even though its slower(it was faster but i dialed down the boost before i gave it to him), and even though its FWD idk maybe its the choo choo choo BOV noises the car makes LOL Quote:
it just needs a bit more low so it looks more like a wagon then it does a SUV |

My wife test drove the Juke before we bought the Altima and she liked it but said she didn't like how high it is.

im just bored of my car if that makes any sense, its not really fun to drive any more, too much grip imo(which is good if i went to the track every weekend, but i dont so its boring) its like james may said, the fun begins when the grip starts to end well i love the look of the old 2G eclipse, heck i use to own a 2G GST before i bought my Z, plus its AWD turbo and it uses the same engine as the EVO 8 and 9 |

I am driving my wifes juke to work now and my Z has a lot more room, especially when I have my daughter in the carseat behind me. My knees touch the the dash.
She had a versa before and that had more room than the juke. |

I understand where you're coming from. As great of a car as the 370 is, it's not for everyone. Sure it's great fun in the beginning but after a while, for some, that novelty fades away. Different strokes for different folks. Sounds like its time to move on to the next car. Plus you're only 19, its going to be a while before you finally find "that" car you're willing to keep for a long time.

EASY... turbos are more fun and cheaper to mod. Period. The Z looks better. the Z fun factor dies down over time and to make it exciting again costs 5 digits. To make any of those pre-turboed cars exciting costs $3500.

This is the only thing that has be second guessing every day. The aftermarket parts for our car are expensive as hell compared to others.

That messes with me too. They're expensive and most of the mods don't do anything too dramatic to the Z. The 350z had more reasonable mod options. Who would have thought pricing for mods was going to increase that much since then???

I dont understand your reasoning one bit but different strokes for different folks I guess... good luck. stay away from STIs almost everyone I know with them has had nothing but problems (blown motors, diffs, broken axles, terrible interior quality)
