Jay Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I feel like that too when i drive my dads 300c just feels slow, high up and almost like drivig a bus lol. Cant be the usual cheeky driver i normally am in that thing Quote
marzman Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Yeh - good idea for topic - whats the worst courtesy car you've ever had?? Mine was a green R-reg diesel Corsa last year. I drove to work a different route (about 15mins longer) just so i didnt have to drive through my town center incase anybody i knew saw me! Quote
M13KYF Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 where did you end up taking for a service in the end Zedwagon Quote
Pimm Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 It has been a whole day not in my car and i go to work at 4 o'clock today, i cannot wait a minute longer Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Audi A3??? That would be a dream instead of a Chrevrolet Captiva I have to use occasionally... Its like a blancmanche on wheels. One of the worst cars I have ever driven! Quote
Sarnie Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Don't diss the A3 After the G and the Z to be fair it feels like driving a car on stilts On some corners I think i'm gonna tip over Quote
Sarnie Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 coilovers Sarnie! I ain't spending a penny on that heap of @*!# Quote

stanski Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 ok then I will reword - an affordable car then (Ok the Zed aint cheap either ) but its not £60K!!! Quote
Stew Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 #I know what you mean. A 200SX style car. A 20k new fun car! Quote
Sarnie Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 ok then I will reword - an affordable car then (Ok the Zed aint cheap either ) but its not £60K!!! £52k for a base model Quote
bronzee Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 You should have got the loan Micra, makes it even better to get it back Lol, last time I had a Micra as a loan car a few years back, I commented to the service adviser, where's the other 2.2 litres. Another female!!!!! Do we have 12 now? Are we there yet?! No, not yet. You'll need to find that drag costume. Nissan Note - base model - like riding on a washboard - Zero power nothing about it I liked at all soul less and lifeless piec of poo! Like Tilly said - if they can make a Zed why can't Nissan make other interesting cars! Like the GTR? Something in every brands range to suit all. Imagine if everything were a Zed or the like, how boring it would be. Quote
zedwagon Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 where did you end up taking for a service in the end Zedwagon took it to local garage in Sale and good news is no problems to report, just new front pads needed in about 4k miles, so pleased about that as it was its first service since i've had it oh... and the fact that the exhaust is too quiet! Quote

Looks like a little retail therapy for the zed then, nice one. You really need to address the exhaust problem, they can get very loud if they blow Quote

zedwagon Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 Don't diss the A3 quote] this particular A3 is in a rather fetching shade of paradise green although he hopes soon to have a R34 skyline so i won't mind swapping cars so much then! Quote
