austin350z Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well what can i say its been a strange 3 months owning a zed, the shortest time ive kept a car ever! But one of the most enjoyable, not sure what it is about the zed that makes you want to spend obscene amounts of money on it! Had some good times (wales meet, dyno day) and met some great people, this forum has been an inspiration in zed modding and an excellent source of info, parts and humour. The only problem now ive got is what to replace it with, once you have experienced that V6 sweet sound nothing much is cutting it for me. So far tried: New Subaru WRXS - Nice all around car quick and handles good, sounds puny, basic and not much luxury for the money Merc C350 SE - Auto difficult to get used to, stealthy speed V6, i don't think im old enough to own one yet !!! Golf R32 - best so far, good sounding ,v quick, looks cool, just need to convince the girlfriend Audi S3 - amazing build quality, rapid and huge prescence on the road, Out of my price range M3 - too big for the missus i loved it but high running costs any suggestions?

Stew Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Why did you sell the Zed???? Budget? Needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin350z Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 got a bit bored with it TBH, its a bit anti social with only 2 seats and not nearly as much fun as the lotus 111s i sold to buy the zed, can't put my finger on it but it just didn't do it for me anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 The M3 won't cost anymore than the rest to run if you use an indy............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Austin One of my mates is selling his Silver R32. Its in mint condition totally standard with around 25k on the clock, think its a 57 plate but I would have to double check. Anyway he is a right lazy git and he was gonna accept a ridiculous offer on a p/x for a boxster last weekend. Unfortunately for him the boxster sold. I offered to go round and detail it and get some pics etc to put on A.Trader but if your interested I can have a word with him. I was gonna advertise it for him for £15k as that seems to be the going rate. I know he will take a lot less than that for a quick sale though. PM me if you want me to have a word or arrange a view, he's in Derby so not too far. I have to say I prefer the Zed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Im prob heading for a ban but Z4? I drove the 3.0 a while back and enjoyed it, slides well but wouldnt chop the zed in for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Im prob heading for a ban but Z4? I drove the 3.0 a while back and enjoyed it, slides well but wouldnt chop the zed in for one I found it a boring drive. Plus if going back to 2 seats, you may as well have a Zed! I'd say an M3 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin350z Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 i love the r32 and just watched a few past reviews from topgear fifth gear etc and it comes out on top, + i'm a true dubber at heart so wins for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 if your looking at r32 y not look at the 3.2 A3 sline or the S3, alot more classy than a golf imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
