I think I might buy a CRZ this weekend

Mike · 02-24-2011, 08:11 PM

one step closer to making the Z track only.

Its a combination of several things, but mainly, just wanting another car.

other factors
Exhaust - loud in car
Suspension - rough riding (tein monoflex setup for track)
gas mileage - 600-800 miles of commuter per month
switching between street and track setup
scraping the bottom of the car on speed humps at work parking lot.

so I think I will buy a CRZ. Also thinking of selling my texas rollback trailer and getting an enclosed one, and just storing the Z in the trailer.

Why dont you drive one of the other two cars in your signature LOL...

nuTinmuch · 02-24-2011, 08:17 PM

I like the CRZ, actually. I'd buy one as a DD.

Mike · 02-24-2011, 08:21 PM

Z4 is my wifes and I drive the expedition now, but I hate it. Its a great tow vehicle for the track, but other than that, I don't like it. Should have never gotten rid of the tahoe.

Get the CRZ, It seems like it would be a great second car. I would have loved to have leased that instead of my Versa as my second car but I could not afford it.

Wait a year and see what the FT-86/216a is like...

RWD, cheap, turns, potentially not ugly... be... patient...

How much is a crz?

travisjb · 02-24-2011, 10:19 PM

Good idea! Means you can get deeper into converting the Z into a track car and we can run together with similar cars!

I've heard good things about Tahoes as DD's and tow vehicles... not surprised to hear that you miss it vs the Expedition

CRZ sounds sensible... sounds like you're looking for a reliable DD with warranty? are you going to keep it stock?

I'm seriously thinking about getting the Ruckus as an alternative means of transportation... would that be enough for you? do you have a short commute on low speed roads? or do you have to get on highways?

around $20k, I believe. could be higher with more options.

Waiz · 02-24-2011, 10:37 PM

Cool little car, I say go for it

You already seem set on it so you might as well give in.

daisuke149 · 02-24-2011, 10:49 PM

Dang for 20k could get the new sonata or a nissan juke

wilsonp · 02-24-2011, 10:50 PM

I don't think a CRZ makes much sense unless for looks?

It is slow for a sporty car, gets poorer gas mileage than cheaper cars, and has the potential problems of a hybrid.

How about a Justy or a Fit or a Miata?

daisuke149 · 02-24-2011, 10:50 PM

Or if gas mileage isnt the biggest concern... Pontiac g8 gt
