For the longest time the Evo X was on the top of my list for my car search. It still tends to be more practical with the back seat and has more trunk space. Especially, when kids are part of the equation. The AWD also helps for Chicago weather. Its cheap to mod, relative to the Z. My brother in law has a 600hp built motor Evo. I think he spent 2k to 3k on it, he loves that thing.
However, I have come to the conclusion that the Z is going to be my next car. It just look devious, and has over all better fit and finish. I bought the wife a mini-van for traveling w/kids and running around for errands.
I have been driving my 10 year old Honda accord as my daily, and it still continues to run great. So the Z works out really well for me. It's going to be my project car for the foreseeable future.
I drove a 2014 Touring and found that it was much better then what I had expected. Especially compared to my 90zx NA. Power in stock form is plenty (This perception will probably change once the mod bug hits, remember I drive a 4cyl Accord). It handles amazing, and the ride is actually not that firm.
Good luck w/your search.

To sum it up other than the performance of the car it doesn't feel like a sports car if that makes sense. For what I use the car for it doesn't fit me. It doesn't feel well built at all my car feels like a mickey mouse car although I bought it brand new idk how to describe it. You have to own one for at least a year to know what I'm talking about. Random new interior rattles start popping up, gearbox always grinds, horrible mpg city driving (not saying the Z gets good mpg, but it is slightly better). However, whatever car I get really can't compare to the evos overall performance. Still deciding on what I really want to do. I also don't like the look of the car. I can't develop a bond with my car... Idk what it is. On the freeway the car drones horribly as 65-70 mph translates to 3.5k rpms and everything in the car is just rattling and the horrible stereo can't cover it up, and if I do turn up the stereo it just rattles even more.... -_-
I feel like since their isn't much you can do to the Z power wise I don't have to really worry about mods other than basics.
