Which would you rather?

Duc_Z09 · 10-15-2014, 05:48 AM

Z and beater or STI year-round.

Shawa · 10-15-2014, 05:54 AM

Z. Cause on those spring and summer nights you're going to be happy as fack

DjSquall · 10-15-2014, 06:06 AM

Go for the Z. It actually handles erry well in snow if you slap some blizzak LM-60's on her.

mab864 · 10-15-2014, 07:28 AM

I'd get an AWD car if I lived in a snowy climate. I don't even drive my Z when it's near freezing. I drive my 4WD Toyota PU and I live in the PNW.

JARblue · 10-15-2014, 07:45 AM

I would move

Get the Z

watson853 · 10-15-2014, 07:47 AM

If you go STI I'd wait for the mid-cycle refresh since there is a lot of speculation going on that this is when Subaru will give us STI version of the fa20 engine.

The new interiors were a step in the right direction but if squeaky cabins bother you I'd still stay far away lol.

I realized that we just ask these questions to find some support for what our heart really wants. Go with your heart, buy what appeals to you and then do what is necessary. I have a 2013 370Z as a DD. Rather than buy a beater, Blizzaks for the winter and if there are those bad snowy days (no more than perhaps 5-15 where I live), take a taxi or have my spouse drop me off at work in her Prius.

watson853 · 10-15-2014, 09:50 AM

I'd stay away from used subarus as well it's so hard to find one un molested

my friend lost control on his Z last winter and it was totalled. He was a careful driver but somehow managed to let this happen to his baby.

Also last winter, my friend drove me on his A6 (well not S5 but they're both AWD from Audi) and we drove thru 15 miles on ice, get on the bridges and so on with no problems. We kept seeing cars that went off the ditch or spun around the roads on the way to our destination.

I myself was having this debate before too, and decided to go with a Z (just a month ago). No personal experience in the snow/ice yet but i dont think i would wanna take my baby out very often in bad weather.

kenchan · 10-15-2014, 11:54 AM

I has 2 RWD cars I hibernate in the winter. Get the 370Z and a beater or two

This made me laugh. Yes whatever I buy will be used. My buddy has a used BMW and he has told me some horror stories.. definitely is making me want to lean towards the Z!!
