Well, thing is, I've only got as far as trying a 159 for size in a showroom. But, you know that feeling when you occasionally sit in a car and it just seems to fit like a glove? Well that's what I got from the 159. That one was a Ti with the big wheels - and in red, and it looked awesome

Wow ! Many thanks for the quick replies. I need to go and have a drive methinks. I would much prefer an auto as that is what the current car is and I love the relaxation an auto gives. Not sure whether I want to buy an import though. Space may also be a problem for me but I won't know until I've seen one up close. The SX is really versatile - could fit in a 3 metre drainage pipe lol. The other half will moan and moan at holiday time if she has to put all her clobber in a holdall instead of a suitcase cheers

Considering parting with my S14A 200SX that I've owned for the last 10 years, and buying a 350z. The SX has been amazingly reliable and practical for me and still gets people asking 'what is it'? I'm just a bit unsure about the running costs for a 350z. The SX isn't particularly good on fuel (mid 20's) as a lot of my mileage is short journeys in town with the odd longer journey on a weekend day out. Only cover around 6000 miles a year. If I buy a 350z it will be a pre 2006 with the lower tax band so that won't be a deciding factor. Just like to get a comparison between the 2 cars regarding fuel ( I am mid 50's and don't use the loud pedal that often!!), and servicing / parts - which aren't too bad for the SX. At the moment I'm having trouble dismissing the urge to buy an Alfa 159, but still have doubts over reliability. I know the Nissan will be reliable, its just the other doubts that I have ! Any advice gratefully received

Been a 200sx S14a owner for the last 10 years and just starting to get the urge to swap. Not sure whether a 350Z is sensible enough for me in the current climate, or whether to satisfy my Alfa lust and get it out of my system !! Thought I would drop by to pick the brains of you experts
