Hello All,
First off can I just start by saying what a great site this is
Now I am thinking of handing back my current car, an 06 diesel Honda Civic to the Honda/finance company bored now you see , and spending about £12,000 to £15,000 on getting one of the following:-
S2000
VX220
350Z
Now I have already kind of ruled out the VX220 on grounds of practicality, and so I went for a test drive in a new S2000 and a new 350Z last weekend and your be unsurprised to hear that so far the 350Z is winning hands down
Now I have been looking through the past post and been able to use the info in the past post’s to deal with most of my own questions, which is great.
But I still have one question that I can’t seem to answer and need you guys and gals help. You see I need to use this car as my daily driver and seeing as I do about 70-75 miles a day (mostly motorway) I was wondering if the 350Z was the best car for the job? I have read through the very useful post of the cost of doing 100,000 miles in a 350 and so far they don’t look too bad although 4 clutches does seem a bit worrying .
I was also interested in, if the changes made in 2004 to the suspension had a big impact on driveability, most of the 350 that fall in my price range are either the JDM Fairlady Z’s or the early UK models. I don’t have a problem with getting a JDM but I would like to know if they handle the same as the new ones.
Any comments or advice would be great and I would really appreciate any advice or guidance you can provide.
Many thanks,
Laurence
