I thought the exact same thing, I actually went looking at the Mini Cooper S before I went looking at the Z's. But before that I wanted a regular WRX.

A lot of people say used this, used that...I dare them to find used TT cars (300ZX, Supra) that are in great shape and aren't thrashed. At least around here, I can find used Porsches easier than finding them!

Saab 9-5 Aero. Before the Z...All I'd ever driven was Swedish Cars...and a new Volvo isn't exactly cheap anymore.....plus the Saab's are pretty quick. Or maybe I would have saved up for one of those Volvo S60-Rs....those are pretty sweet.

Yes they are...300 HP turbo, brembo brakes, sport suspension etc. It may be a little heavier than the Z, but those suckers move, and they're only a few grand more than a Z too.

I came really close to picking up a WRX. That was before I really knew anything about the Z.

I was wanting comfort, speed, and luxury so I almost got a Subaru Legacy GT (because its a sleeper) till I sat in it, most unfomfortable seats since by brothers 89 tempo...lol. Then I saw the Nissan dealer finally got a Z in on their lot after I left the Subaru dealer and I made my friend pul in there so I could have a look. The Z has everything, but if there were no Z I'd have a legacy with new seats put in.

I sat in the back of an RSX, and it was more comfortable than any seat in any Subaru i've been in. Go figure..
