Selling Z for 2014 evo x

labrador · 08-07-2016, 03:17 PM

Thinking of selling the Z and buying 14 evo with 8k miles on it...

Thoughts?

Only if the evo/sti had better mpg.

Just be sure of what you want in a car before doing it.

The Z is a great budget sports car. Small, relatively light, and good looking 2 door style. The Evo is a MUCH bigger car and it feels it. If you're looking for great budget performance you'll get it after about 3k in mods. The car has an insane amount of grip and the cornering limits are so high you'll find yourself doing absurd things on twisty b-roads. The suspension is harsh and the interior is cheap. The trunk is extremely small and the rear seats don't fold. After modding it your car will be loud. Even though it has back seats it's really not a car I like to transport people in.

It's a fun car to destroy a road in, and you could make use it for other activities, but just make sure it's what you want.

Thanks man, you hit the nail on the head about the interior, good lord its bland. My Z is 7 years old but the interior still looks up to date with the ipod mod and whatnot. But I know the money for the evo is in the awd and suspension. I might keep looking man...

I don't think Nissan is the paragon of reliability or quality, but I would stay away from Mitsubishis like the hantavirus!
