Help me decide on a new daily driver

CamaroGreg · 07-24-2010, 06:57 PM

So I'm in the market for a used car with a price ranging from 10,000-20,000, but leaning more towards the 10,000. Im looking for a smaller car with pretty good gas mileage and fun to drive. So right now Im between a 2007 Mini Cooper S for 16,000 and a 2005 350z for 15,000. Which one would you pick and why? Both are pretty loaded, leather seats, solid sound systems, etc. Oh and both are sticks. Thanks.

I'd get the 350z between your two choices. It is fun to drive, and has a better interior interior in my opinion. Drive them both and see which one you like better.

I say 350z or E46M3 FTW!

Ford Fiesta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

350z. my mom had a 300zx and loved it. had it forever. i know different models but still... same idea/concept lol

EDIT: i also think the 350z looks A TON better than a mini and Nissan seems to be a good company too. solid cars.

350z defintly, the mini in my opinion is just um... EWWW! a stripped one with a boost turned up might not be TO bad though lol.

2010 SSRS · 07-25-2010, 12:12 AM

350Z

PHEOX · 07-25-2010, 02:30 AM

Between the two choices, I'd say the 350Z, because it is larger, and will most likely be more comfortable. If I had 10-20k, I'd buy this, but I'm a sucker for these cars, lighter than a Honda CRX, but unique and much more nostalgia. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...5fTrucks#v4-48
