I am just selling my mazda rx8(terrible car) and am trying to decide what to get. I have read all sorts of reviews and video test drives all of which have advocated for owning one, but they said the same thing about my RX8. I want to hear from the owners what you guys like and dislike, bottom line: should I buy this car.

 

Yup.

 

You came to a 350z website, asking if you should buy a 350z. What kind of responses do you think you're going to get?

 

RX8 to a Z - yes.

 

Be carefully. Some model years have certain problems. Research it thoroughly.

If I give you my opinion, 10 guys will disagree and then argue. Research it and form your own opinion.

 

The collective opinion around here when is doubt is to get an RSX Type S

 

Ill trade my 07 HR for your RX8 and first born?


Honestly though, what do you want in a car. The RX8 does have back seats (kinda). Looks different, weighs less. There are goods and bads about the Z's. Different years have different issues or lack of. Different trims, motors, wheels and creature comforts.
What do you want? ask yourself that, do some research into if the Z has it then ask us how we like that part of the car or dont.

 

i would say get a civic,....wtf

 

Read these first...

.. then if you still have questions - ask.

 

No...Don't do it!

 

Here's an earlier thread about all the cars we drove before buying a Z:
https://my350z.com/forum/other-vehic...g-the-z-2.html

Despite the fact that most people here look down on the automatic Zs (and those who drive them), I have no regrets about my purchase. It's a wonderful car, and I'm sure I've barely tapped its potential.

 

Buy mine in a year lol. I wanna get an s2000

 

The 350Z is a great car, I just sold mine. If I could do it over, though, I'd have gotten a 300ZX TT.

 

for sure research the different years of the 350z! DO you want hard top or soft? Do you want base or mid range or Nismo? Do you want 06 and below for more options of boost and/or super chargers( 07+ bout to come out/already have a gtm super charger But if you are just asking 350z or keep your rx8....for sure 350z. I kept my brothers 05 rx8 for him while he was in Iraq for almost a year and it was pretty cool. I now own an 08 Nismo and you just can NOT compare it. So much more power, love the looks way better, suspension is awesome. Though I felt the rx8 was more "luxurious" and some people like that more

 

This is the response I was waiting for ;]

 

Can you give us specific issues that you're having with your RX-8?

Just for our own info..

 

if u have to ask, u shouldn't buy it

 

Have you looked at the RSX? Performance and reliability all rolled onto one.

 

lol @ davidv on everythread

 

no, that isn't a smart purchase op.
