New car suggestions

[StuNismo]

Hi PH's


I'm back for a little advice and new car suggestions

As some of you may know I currently own a 2016 370Z Nismo. As you can probably tell by the title I have started to look for the Zed replacement.

Some background. I have test drove a BMW M2 DCT lovely car and faster than my Zed but it didn't feel much different in the corners, in fact, I felt more comfortable in the Zed this maybe just because I'm getting more used to the Zed. I have drawn a short list of cars that could be the Zed's replacement

in no particular order

BMW M2
Ford Focus RS
Subaru WRX
Honda Civic Type R (new model)

Can you let me know your thoughts because I am finding it hard to find a suitable replacement and/or upgrade


Cheers
Stu!

If a two seater is OK then I suspect you need, at least, to take a look at a few Porsche Cayman options. You don't mention any budget so that might help us give a better steer.

Firstly. It's Zed. We're not American.

Also, you can say 'Z'. Disc space isn't free you know.

If you're used to a 2+2 wafer thin people wot Johnnie sed, have you thought about a Porker?

One of them is wrong wheel drive and shouldn't even make the list.

budget is £40k, I was considering the Porsche 718 when I purchased the 370Z.

I forgot to mention me and the missus will be sharing this car as her lease runs out on her M140i next May and it needs to beable to seat four

The 4wd ones, obviously.

Unless you enjoy telling your mates how it "sticks to the road"

How about an Infiniti 3.0T Awd, 399bhp, 155mph and 0-60 in 4.8 secs. Bit of a wild card but they look pretty good on paper and pretty distinctive in the metal.

Never thought about an Infiniti.

Is it worth looking at a performance saloon like a BMW M3 or Audi RS4

M3 and RS4 are in a different league to the cars on your shortlist, you'd also be looking at second hand for your budget, may also be worth looking at Audi S5 and BMW 440

Hi Petrol heads,

I'm back with an update, As most of you know I'm in the market for a small four-seater to replace my Nissan 370Z Nismo. If you can remember I had a shortlist of Ford Focus RS and etc.... Well just to keep you in the loop I have gone ahead and purchased a BMW M2 LCI - Manual - White, options include heated seats and privacy glass.

Some of you may seem surprised by my choice but to me, it makes the most sense. I'm purchasing a car which is most probably the best M-Car within 10 years, The depreciation is low and the car should retrain good value compared to my 370Z and it looks super sexy much like the 370Z.

Let me know your thoughts was it a good move to purchase an M2 in place of my 370Z?

Great choice far far better than a Focus RS.

Picking the car up soon. Still toying with the idea of installing the black kidney grills and side emblems.
