Hello, everyone i'm pretty new to the forums, but I have been following the z for a long time, as well as many other cars. I have test drove the 2008 350z a few times and was very impressed with it as well as a BMW 335. I am really excited to see to see what Mitsubishi does with the new EVO X as well.

So really here is my delema, deciding between a BWM 135, Nissan 350z, or a Mitsu Lancer EVO X. I was looking to buy around the middle of March so I have plenty of time to decide and test drive the new EVO and the 135 when they come stateside. I looking for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING facts, pictures, personal opinions on service, whatever that may help me finally decide what to look into. Thanks a bunch everyone, for any help you can give me!

 

do not go for 350z. It's a very inconvient car(with only 2 seats). I go for bmw 135 or evo since these are 2 new models.

Z will probably change the model next year.

 

That bad huh? Why what is the best you have fit in one? I didn't plan to do much hauling but you never know how these things come up

 

Wow lol, no offense that was a really dumb point to bring up. If hes thinking about a 2 seater then he's prolly fine with the idea. Theyre all pretty nice except for the evo. The awd is nice but I dont think the interior is nice at all. I'm a little bias, I love the Z, but if I HAD to get a car with backseats I would get the bimmer, although I'm not sure how practical they are, the backseats that is.

 

save up for the GTR

 

Well, I know it's not exactly the same but I drove an '07 BMW 328 for a while before I got my Z. I loove the look and feel of the Z way more, plus I don't have to drive anyone else around in a 2-seater. The BMW drives alot smoother and quieter though. I spend alot more money on gas now then I did on the BMW also. Good luck with whatever your choice is

 

You can wait until later to drive a car that is not available now.

why not get the 335?

 

335 very quick upgradeable appx 400rwhp i would wait for another model year though.

 

If you didn't immediately ask where to sign when you saw / drove the Z, it's probably not the car for you.

 

If you live at elevation, get the 335. I live at 6000 ft and lose tons of power. Anything turbo-charged is much faster.

 

Not all of us fell in love with the Z as soon as we test drove it...

I fell in love with my Z after test driving an RX8 and thinking of how disappointed I'd be with it.

 

What did you choose?

 

I was about to ask same thing.
