GMballistic Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I like the rs4 - had a s4 a few years back and said if it had a better gearbox, diff and brakes it would be the perfect car. Only thing is the weight, it's considerably heavier than the evo so tracking it would feel a huge step back. Told my wife about the evo idea and she's as against it as everyone else I have mentioned it to! Looks like I will have to keep hunting. Why not start a "what car next" thread as everyone seems to love telling other people how to spend their money. Just put your budget & some of the essential criteria like performance, drive train, n# doors etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a look at rs4s again but got a feeling the weight would be to much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get too fixated on the weight side of things imo, ...take a look at it's power to weight ratio, take one for a drive and make up your own mind. Plus your not going to be on track all the time so for its main purpose of getting you & the family around it'll be more than adequate imo. Good luck with your decision.

Blimsa Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Still unsure on the awd as your right, the weight wouldn't be to much of a issue. Car remains at £14000 ovno however after meeting a few fellow Z members today and having a good run out in the car I have been reminded how much I love the car. Truely am torn at what to do 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversteer Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Difficult car to replace! Does many things very well and great value. Defo don't go with an Evo X - just read the reviews; earlier Evos much better, so the reviews say. Lots of options to choose from. Have a think about what you're after; sticking with rwd coupe or awd saloon etc. Agree n/a rs4 more attractive than turbo but is an rs4 much cheaper to run than the m3 you were thinking about earlier? Use your head and follow your heart Edited June 27, 2016 by Oversteer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimsa Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks for all the advice and comments. After using her over the last few days I have realised I cannot bare to sell, and have decided to sell my daily instead for something cheaper to run. The Z has been awesome from day 1 and realising that nothing short of a GTR or mint E92 M3 will feel like an upgrade - both out of my price range for now, it seems the best option to keep on enjoying the car for a while longer 😊 Mods please lock 👠2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Nice car that. I don't think you should ever sell something you treasure without a very good reason (being nagged is not a very good reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
