350Z is a good car, often described as similar to a mini muscle car in contemporary car mags. If you like the way it drives, have you considered going for something with a proper sized engine?

Monaro VXR 6.0 can be had in budget, meets all of your criteria, and it sounds good at any rpm. Good chassis and cheap as chips to run too (apart from fuel).

That looks awful!

To be honest i hate vaxhaull's they dont do it for me. i categorize them with skoda and suzuki.

It's a Holden really, forget the Vauxhall badge! That said, you'd probably change your mind after driving one!

I saw a small group of Monaro's yesterday near Inverness, I agree they are not great looking although they are not bad looking either, but they sounded fantastic. I'm not a fan of Vauxhalls but I'd own one of those at the drop of a hat just for the noise alone.

In your position OP I would test drive one, what have you go to lose?

On the Vauxhall theme...

Best stick with your Renault engine Datsun in that case

What are your next car criteria? Ultimately, £13k budget for a Cayman is fairly low and I can imagine most will be tired at that price point. If badge/ image is important to you, and you want a characterful engine, a BMW Z4M should be in budget (just about).

Haha the renault datsun is some car! but i do understand where you are coming from.

If i dont keep my 350z i might go back to a type r or give some sort of ford a go.

OP with all due respect - a £13k Cayman will be a bag of spanners. I am not surprised your experience was underwhelming...
