floydboy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi All, I am a new member and thinking in terms of a 350Z, have had lots of interesting cars, Alfa's, TR6, Land Rovers, Range Rovers and just got rid of a Discovery 2, but now need something interesting and reliable, that will not burn a hole in my family budget. We have a Qashqai as the family car and have been pleased, do the Zeds make practical propositions for everyday cars? What should I look for in general terms to get value for money, are the grey imports an issue, do they have an Achilles heel, i.e. Alfa rust and electrics, TR6 crank thrust washers, etc.? Interested in your experiences, many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR46 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Welcome! They're brilliant cars. Very reliable and no real big common faults. Driveshafts are the main one to look out for really. They're fine for daily use, just so long as you don't require much space in the boot because that is useless due to the rear brace. Other than that they're great!
