shueb.c Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just wondering really... I’m a former 350z owner (2004). what would you buy next in the same vain as a 2 seater sports coupe? And if not a coupe what else? Needless to say, better oem performance, let’s says budget is 10-20k - yes I know that’s a huge range but just want to see what people see as a decent upgrade from a 350z.

ZMANALEX Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If you prefer to stay with Nissan then the natural progression appears to be 350 - 370 - GTR R-35 but you may have to expand the range North for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee370Z Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I didn't really get on with my Z4M Roadster(didn't like the ride/suspension/gearbox), but the Z4M Coupe could be an option. Good looks and quicker than the 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I exaggerating Nah! you can get an early 09 plate for 35k, so perhaps double: By the time that you progress from 350 to 370 they will be even cheaper.

shueb.c Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Interesting options... yeh not sure 911 is in budget unless you went for a 996 egg variety. rs3 back to 350z... would never have thought that’d happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben–350Z Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'm currently eyeing up a Fiesta ST. But that might have more to do with the £145 tax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one(manual) as a daily back in 2013 and it started to feel pretty ordinary pretty quickly for me. The interior is standard 3 series apart from the seats/speedo. The range is poor and it only really feels quick at 6000rpm and above. A Jack of all trades and a master of none Imo. I'd consider one as a second car now though, and they are becoming reasonable value now too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That's the problem with the 350z, to move away you need to spend at least twice as much to go little bit faster, to handle a little bit better, ending up something not a rare, all for the pleasure of larger service bills and will it sound as good as the VQ?....... I think a clean tidy 350z still looks good on the road as there's only one newer model after it, unlike the M3, Boxster or Cayman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
