to be more specific im am contimplating between the Z and a WRX.

i would like your opinions on which one you would get and why.

for me the mojor reasion i would get a WRx is the fact that it is a newer car and its AWD.

I'd probably take the Scooby in all cases though.

Man there seem to be a lot of 300zx vs. threads now. Have they taken the place of 240sx vs. threads? Anyways to respond to your question. I would get a new wrx you get a sweet warranty. Also the newest 300zx you can get is a 96 thats 8 years old. Do you really want an 8 year old car? Not to mention maintnance and up keep. Can you make repairs yourself? we need more information.

n - d a w g,What type of 300ZX are you looking to purchase. I do own a WRX and would be happy to comment on owning one. If you buy a WRX, do you plan on modifying the car?

I am, and have always been, a z-car fan. That would sway me to a 300zx (96 TT if at all possible;)), but the wrx gets alot of respect from me as well. Your question is too broad to be answered the way it is now, give us some specifics and we'll be happy to help.

How are you evening comparing the two cars? They are in vastly different price ranges, and are decidedly different automobiles.

Given the choice between the two, I'd go with a WRX.

Well the guy seemed like he wanted something newer. I got no problems with older cars myself. I own a 30 year old car, a 20 year old car and a 15 year old car. :D

I'd take the WRX. because, well, I'd be scared taking a 300 off road.

WRX gets my vote for the fact that it will be newer, AWD, warranty till I void it, and the fact thatIt seats 4 passengers. I love the 300 ZX, but if it's gonna be your only car, then dont get it. You might need that back seat some day. Also the 300 mightneed some maintenance work done to it so it'll be more $$$.

PS this better not be another thread when some1 makes their first and only post and decide that they wont even come back on NICO to reply. I hate wasting my time.
