Need to visit a dealer and ask to drive one..... dont like the feeling when the car is overpriced and you just came to drove it not to buy

Ah, Matt is not insured on his,so I wont go , as I really want to feel it driving )

Does anyone fancy to meet up somewhere near soton and have a blast in my s2k, then ill have a blast in your Z??? Let me know if you do )

I had the roof down and felt nice at 3degrees, but people where looking at me like I was a retard

Im in Southampton )))) would be cool to meet up with someone and swap for a quick drive just to see what the 350z feels like...as I never drove one...

 

I am in Gosport, I have never driven an S2k, I'm up for a swap

I already arranged with Matt to meet up today. .. hope it wont be raining at 5.30 as s2k is rubish in the rain ))

So ill say my decision at the end of the day ))

It does feel a bit strange having a red soft top )) 350z does look a lot more boss ))

A nice forum member offered me to pop over and he will take me for a drive in his 350z, cant wait ))

Having owned both, I preferred the S2000,i found it a more enjoyable drive. And more rewarding. Some say the zed is better if its your daily car as its a bit more comfortable size wise and with the torque you don't need to work the engine as hard as the s2k. Both are good cars, but if you put both in front of me and told me I could only take one for the week. I'd take the s2000 without hesitation. The big thing is which car best suits your driving style. Its all personal at the end of the day. What's good for me might be terrible for others.

What would you say - consumption wise?? Reliability? ? And I use it daily, really missing a nice sound system and more storage...

Please tell me more, as you know both cars, I never even driven a 350 )

Hello,

I was getting a new car a month ago, I found a 350z GT, but on the last second I reconsidered and bought a S2000 in rare color in nice condition.

A month later im enjoying the s2k, but paying 1600 for insurance is just stupid as the 350z is only 1100! It has better toys, tho has a roof ( dont want the roadster one )

So now im thinking, should I sell my s2k and buy a 350z GT, or try swapping my s2k for a nice Zed?? ( would be quite hard to swap as its a similar car)

Any advice welcome, as I cant make up my mind

This is my toy for now

Fancy a nice convertible for the summer??

Are the seats nice and comfy?What does it have behind the seats? (never understood why it never had rear seats, no matter how small, but still there )

Roofline behind the seating would make it impossible for back seats. :wink: Welcome to the forum.

yeh but looking at TT and CRX there TINY compared to the Z I only sat in a Z once for a minute in silverlake (crashed car auction).... the interior itself is very original, door trim isint what you see daily ))

almost 99% sure I want the Z, tho need to sort out a small amount of finance, thinking that if they let me, can go even to 7k... but quite sure i want a GT (made too many mistakes when i bought the car and it wasn't top spec, and i regretted it (and cruise control will save some money on the motorway )

Lovely car, if i sell my car and you still have this youll get a call.

Maybe your interested in JDM Toyota MR2 GTS in black 1992 turbo model , manual... ??

Heres a linky, idd add cash your way

Awww... just wrote a very long message.. and only at the end noticed that I've pressed report thinking its Reply instead of Quote.. Im very sorry for that, hope the moderators will forgive me this time

My original message was:

Thank you for the warm welcome!!!

Im sure its done for performance in mind, but i owned a CRX (old iVT model which is rare as dinosaur now days and looking at audi tt which is not huge.. and they have the so called seats which do transport people in worst situations, and you dont have to do the journey twice ))

Is the original BOSE sound system worth the hassle? RX8 had bose and i can say the sound was amazing, perfectly balanced,obviously with the CD changer problems

Really looking forward to drive this toy , to see if i like it, cause i driven a few very desirable cars - civic type r and renault megane F1 edition and both left me very dissapointed (this was a year ago, when i wanted a performance hatch ended up getting a 200sx, which did not tick all of the boxes after ive driven it for a few weeks...)

Is there a meet in Southampton that I would be able to attend? would really like to see the cars in flesh

Hello,

Im Dimitry from Southampton, 22 years old technician.

Having huge interest for cars I've already owned many of the most popular sports cars (rx8,s14a,BMW 328,alfa V6,civic's VTi etc)

Currently i own a classic 1992 imported Toyota MR2 GTS turbo pushing arround 280++bhp, doing 0-60 in less than 5.5sec, but I think i finally grew up to get one of my all time most wanted -350z!

Im planning to sell my mr2 for arround £2700, and buy a 350z from anything up to MAX £6000.. Im 100% sure it has to be manual and coupe. As I've read GT pack is a good choice, and i really fancy a black+orange interior or orange car with any interior.

What kind of advice would you guys give me ?? Its quite a hard choice since I've been looking at Impreza WRX, mazda 6 MPS, BMW z4 3.0 , Alfa 156 GTA and others , but 350z looks soo special , and its not a car you see daily, and as i know the engine tone is quite addicting

Hows the reliability on them? I tend to drive quite fast, but i always look after my cars and try to work on them myself too. (is it hard to work on ?)

Its a stupid question ofcourse, but whats the MPG like? 20mpg in the city is the perfect number for me, cause when i had the RX8 it wasnt fast at all, and I only got 14-16mpg no matter how i drove, was very dissapointed.

How about the comfort? is the original sound system good? are the seats nice and comfy?What does it have behind the seats? (never understood why it never had rear seats, no matter how small, but still there )

Hope to join the gang soon!

Dimitry
