April fools day. Lol

With import comparing his CUV to a Z. This is better off as a Selena Gomez site. Geez

Meh. I enjoy my CX5 more, actually. The terrible suspension and grinding transmission really ruined the 370Z experience for me. Torque in my CX5 is nice to have, too. Mainly though, I like how it eats up the pavement with AWD surefootedness, nice and quietly, with instant torque on demand at any rpm. It's not a sports car, but it's more sorted out than my Z was in many ways, handling among them, and it does the trick of getting me from A to B no-matter what the weather or road is like.

Haha! Even doing that, it wouldn't make it. It's AWD, or bust, where I live.

Just saying... You can have your auto with paddles. That's fine. It's not my cup of tea. And yes, judging from your own personal experience, I would agree, not too many of those dudes have the skill.

I'm not saying I'm the fastest out there, nor am I claiming I'm faster than a "proper" auto, but I am quite capable of shifting pretty darn quick, quicker than most.

Plus, for me, no matter how good an auto is, a manual is simply more engaging and more funner for me.

Anywho, not trying to argue and not saying anyone is right or wrong. Just enjoying my Z and appreciating other fellow Z's.

Arguing if an SUV is better than a Sports Car is like arguing which is better, an F16, or a Boeing 747. They both fly but serve different purposes...
I have a Z and a Honda Passport. If I want to have fun driving, Ill take the Z out. If I dont want to worry about steep driveways or want to haul people or cargo, Ill take the Passport. :twocents: :driving:

Just me and nice weather, it's the bike. Traveling and camping, it's the motorhome. :tup: Each fills a different purpose.

Or it could just be the Power Wagon all the time! :rofl2:

So you're saying if you gave a 370z this treatment, you couldn't get up and down your driveway?

I could, but it would be a "running start" type deal probably. My drive-way is a 27-30% grade. Loose gravel. If you don't have AWD, I don't let people come down it. It keeps people out, too. They see that drop and just turn around.

Never owned a vehicle set up so poorly before, and I didn't like it enough to replace the suspension, which is part of why it got sold for a Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2014. The car just never really made me love it. Much better composure in the CX5's suspension.
