I know, But I'm pretty sure folks even here would also appreciate their questions eventually getting answered

Talking about what career choice one should have? Was not the Op's question.

But again it's a heads up to stick to the topic :ugh2:

At my orientation, UCLA told us that to be successful in this program I would have to curb my hours at work and be part time.

That is where the problem lies. With me being part time, owning the Z is becoming more unrealistic. With full time I can easily afford the car, unfortunately its looking like I have to part with it since i may have to reduce my hours ...

OP went kinda OT to begin with :stirthepot:

Maybe, But he didn't ask for advise on his career but was merely explaining his situation

He's asking for unbiased frs/brz opinions

Op,

Should be able to swing a deal on either a frs/brz

Yup people read way to far into it.

I just wanted to let people know why I was even looking at one but whatever lol

Yeah. No big deal lols.

The education subtopic went viral and left the twins in the dust. I guess people found that more interesting. Maybe it should be another thread.

I agree with your scion review. I think looking at the interior though day after day will be hard coming from a Z. A month+ of driving with that interior and i see many days of nausea and chronic vomiting. You can find a 2003-2004 350z thats well maintained for $11,000 and you can save another 14,000 and not lose the power level you're used to.

Or you can consider a lower insurance FWD funmobile like the mazda 3 for $20,000 and save an extra $5,000

You can refi the Z but risk massive equity loss due to slow pay. If you plan on keeping the Z once you refi... do it. If you're going to get new ride hungry in two years? Trade for a lower priced car.

Or you can get a FR-S and have civics and integras pull up on you day in and day out... over and over and over and over and over... :wtf2:

I think this is where you'd be

I think you should keep the Z.

Based on your previous posts, it looks like you've put a lot of time and money into your car. Not only just aftermarket parts, but the time it took to research them and the time and money it took to install those parts.

In the end you would probably break even if you factored in all the time and money you spent on the Z. And then, you will probably end up modding your FR-S, so that's more money and time that you'll have to spend.

Now, if you really like the FR-S over the Z, that's a different story. But that doesn't sound like it's the case.

BRZ/FRS - Anyone driven one?

Mod moved my Thread and turned it into a post here. Do not reply, thread is over a year old.

OP has likely since made his decision on what is best for his finances and school, which seemed to be more of what this thread was about.

Mine was about the actual BRZ and if anyone else here had driven one, and their findings.

just sell the car and use the bus/bicycle or a small cheap hatch or something until you're done with school.

The 370Z has jam and peanut butter. All in one car. No crusts.

I would play it safe and buy a used car in a cheaper range. But that's me.

Have you looked at maybe staying fun while going cheaper and doing something like a used Miata?

These cars are tempting especially if I can find a stock used one for under $20k, shed some weight, and turn it into a fun car. It looks pretty good, rear wheel driven, has the option to row your own gears, etc. But wait! I still have my Z and I'm 1 car payment away... :D

Seriously, though, if I didn't have my Z, I wouldn't mind getting one of these used as my next project.
