The Z became impractical. My wife could not drive a standard, useless in the snow and not enough trunk space for a long weekend away. I thought about a G37x coupe or a BMW 4 series. However, those cars were too expensive.

not a bad choice. i wouldve kept the z and gotten the sti wagon if it was me though.

actually no, i wouldve gotten the is350 f-sport and kept my 370z and fit if it was me.

my buddy has a Q50S. it's nice. but i like the lexus's styling better. its not like im going to be driving the sedan spiritedly either. i do that with my Z. the lexus is more for the interior, and quality. it will be my dressup car.

I'd like to have an STI to go with my Z, but certainly not as a replacement for it. Since I can only afford one it's got to be the Z.

If I could afford both I would skip them and just get a new Z06

The new 2.0 Subaru engine was noted as 1 of the top engines of the year. The Japanese version of the STI has a 300hp 2.0 engine not the 2.5

Yes the new 2.0 is a massive improvement over the old EJ series but they didn't put it in the American STI so it doesn't really matter how good it is.

I enjoyed my 370 but the car I really miss is my 280z. If I had my choice of cars, I would like to own a Porsche Carrera 4.

I really like my brothers Impreza, these are great cars and now I understand why people are so loyal to the brand.

As most of us are figuring out, the Z becomes very impractical over time as your only car if you're not single.

How much did they give you for your Z?
