Sporty 2+2 Ideas

[Mabbs9]

I'm interested in ideas please. I have small kids and a 2 plus 2 second car that's a bit fun is being considered. Small back seats really is OK, I'm keen that I don't rule out the small kids by going for a 2 seater.

Budget pretty flexible but front runner is currently a GT-86. I used to have a 300ZX and if they weren't so old now that'd actually suit really well.

I'm probably not going to stretch to a 911 although I'm tempted. Probably self imposed budget up to 25K.

I'm grateful for any pointers of what I'm missing.

Many thanks.

I'm going to go with some alternates first.

3.0TT Q60 this has the new 400Z powerplant & is a very nice place to be:

4.7 GranTurismo S great car that des the hard thing of feeling special at low speed

RC-F you'll have to haggle but these are a car that get under your skin & they have a very special V8

Mustang

Some great ideas in there thanks. I had been leaning to a V8V but the Mrs quite reasonably points out that any car that doesn't fit the kids will be underused over the next few years. I'll have a click through the links and let you know where it leads. 👍

They're all good options, I forgot to say the Mustang is a very good option & with a few choice tweeks it gets better, out of the mainstream options I'd pick the C63 followed by the RS5 which has a more special engine than most people realise.

Watch the review below to see why.

Infiniti have pulled out of europe but Nissan now take care of the service work on Infiniti's & as I said that powertrain is going to be in the new 400Z.

I wanted to wrap this up with my conclusion.

I decided being big that a 2+2 would likely not solve any problems of the seat behind me was unusable.

So decided to get a Nissan 370Z and tell the kids they'll have to walk!

I picked it up yesterday. Thanks for you thoughts on here.

They will be going in the boot if it’s a V8V

Excellent. Some pictures will be in order.

Also, the kids will fit in the back if they are small. We can get two dogs in no problem.

[Mabbs9]

And one more.

I found a pretty mint manual GT.

The blue looks fabulous in the sun (and also rather nice when not) - congratulations.

Very nice and I love the colour.

I've been really chuffed with my 370Z Roadster for the last couple of years and they are great cars I reckon.

Enjoy yours.

I now can't see either of my pics above. Are they still showing to everyone else?
