Opinions please...

I'm getting the urge for a change of motor (it's not going to happen, the missus has already told me ) , but I quite fancy a 350z. I know they're not really comparable to an Evo, but as an everyday car (which my Evo is), they seem a good compromise of power, comfort etc.

I saw THIS and I think it looks the absolute dogs doo dahs! 8)

Anyone driven one? They seem to get good reviews in car mags...

Looks really nice Leigh but heared bad reports about particuarly dodgy interiors.

A colleague of mine has one and is always moaning about various rattles and he did say one of the storage cubby doors keeps dropping off.

He did say the drive made up for it and he does like his.

Comparable to your evo it sure isn't. But if you want a reliable sports car, it's an option.

Not too sure how it'd look on an evo net stand though ops:

Don't worry mate, computer (wife) says no...

Not too worried about dodgy interior quality, I have an Evo afterall!

One of the (only) things that bugs me with Evos is the characterless engine. It's a good, strong, tunable unit, but it just sounds like a hairdryer, so the prospect of a 3.5 V6 blaring through a good aftermarket exhaust has some appeal. Maybe this autumn, after I've done all I want to the Evo. 8)

Well that's a relief, thought you were for upping and leaving for a minute there!!! :shock:

I know what you mean about the engine, that's why TVRs make the hair on the back of my neck stand up! (no baldy jokes pls)

The scooby engine sounds good too minus dairy milk!

I think you'd miss the evo though mate

nissan 350 z

bonjour...

i had one of the nissans... for a weekend, 8)

i certainly didnt , enjoy the experience ,

i found the car to far to tinny sounding, the interior was a bit tackky
all round things like drive were very harsh, :giveup:

and i had the car as i said the whole weekend,
and i never managed to park the bloody thing

over all it was a complete let down ,
the next car i test drove i bought ......EVO V11 :driving:
