Essex, but no, I am not an Essex Boy Racer!! XD I am not really a petrol head per say, but always been told manual feels more fun in a sports car, but I guess the automatic systems are getting so advanced now there is less in it then there used to be? These are two have been looking at http://www.autotrade...age/1?logcode=p I did an insurance quote on the above ^^ £1300, added both my parents as named drivers, myself as main driver - £818! http://www.autotrade...age/1?logcode=p

Thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated! Any thoughts on Auto Vs Manual?

Hey Guys, Just after some adivce/feedback about my potential 370z purchase; I have been a fan of the 350 for as long as I can remember and always said to myself I would own one, then the 370z came out and I fell in love again. I've only been driving for 3.5 years (I am 28) but I've driven A LOT - including 20,000 miles in the US/Canada but never in proper sports cars, my car in the UK was a 09 Fiesta Zetec S and the cars over in the states were a Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Equinox - so nothing quite as beefy as the 370z so I imagine it's going to be a massive change to deal with as well as the loss of convenience (smaller boot, 2 seater) - but I've come to terms with all that and still happy to proceed! My only real stipulation is I want a yellow one, there are a few about for sale in the £17-20k range; now that is a big chunk of money but I can afford the ~£400 payments and my insurance quotes are coming in at ~£1100 - same as my first year with the Fiesta so again no real news to me (though the Fiesta is now ~£450); I also know the tax is £460? Is there anything major I should be aware of as a new buyer, anything when inspecting the cars to make note of? I've just taken a short sabbatical where i;ve been out of the country for 5months so will need to get another job and what not when I get home next week so I probably won't purchase anything for another 2months or so - is there any known price drops or new model releases which could effect the price and thus I would be better to hold off longer? Also, I would obviously prefer a manual car - but if a stellar deal came about for an Automatic will I miss out on too much? Argh, I just want a yellow one so bad!!
