I'm in a dilemma right now of either getting a 05-06 350Z or 06 Evo IX MR.

Here's what I came up with:

Please feel free to add to this list of pros and cons and I may be wrong on some of the things below (so please dont flame!)

I am not creating this thread for flame wars to occur...just want raw facts.



Pros of Z
-more reliable
-looks better (IMO)
-less attraction from cops (prob the same?)

pros of MR
-faster
-more practical (more seats)
-better gas mileage

cons of Z
-can only fit 2 ppl
-mods are expensive (to get it to MR level)

cons of MR
-less reliable since its turbo
-higher depreciation rate than the Z

Just wanted an opinion...coming from an MR owner.

Does it void your warranty once you add bolt ons on your car?

Sorry, this email is long...just wanted to hear your opinion.

any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Well, I considered the evo and sti before I bought my Z. When you think about it, who cares about the seats. I only need one passenger seat, im not trying to lug my friends around. Plus, when you buy the Z you are buying into the nissan heritage of rear wheel cars with awesome reliability. My friend has a 240 with like 200k on it and it is still running strong. The evo is ugly as hell and cant compare in many categories. My advice to you is to drive both and see which you enjoy the most, then go from there. The Z is plenty fast for me and looks awesome, you get soo many head turns and attention, the evo just looks terrible and is a regular 4 door. The thing that made me buy the Z so much is its looks, I really love it. Good luck with your purchase.
