WRX vs 350z

WRX vs 350z... i know these two cars are in completely different field, but i have something in mind. Set aside performance and the fact that wrx is a sedan. Which car has the best compromise of handling, reliability, luxury, and comfort.

Re: WRX vs 350z

handling, i hear that the Z is good. Reliability i would say the Z, luxury.....well, neither really, but maybe the WRX has a sportier feel imside, and comfort is hard to judge if you dont try yourself.

Re: WRX vs 350z

i hear people saying how 350z is a no-no on snowy/icy road. WRX with its AWD can handle it. Rx-8 has RWD but it seems to have no problem under those condition as well. Why the 350z? By the way correct me if im wrong, im just restating what i read!

Re: WRX vs 350z

tires has more to do with how well a car handles in the snow. if you put snow tires or all season on a Z, it would take the snow decent.

the wrx interior is trash compared to the Z's. top end the Z wins hands down, 1/4 mile is driver's race between the two. looks the Z win's hands down. handling the Z has more grip because it comes with wider tires and summer tires for the sports package while the WRX comes with skinny 16 inch rims that are only 6.5 inches wide with all season tires.

the new WRX with the 2.5 liter is a different story though.

Do you mind telling us what u have in mind cos ur right, they're two completely different cars with very diff price tages, layouts and applications.

And I think "best compromise" is a bit of an oxymoron.

But of course the Z is the better car.

Re: WRX vs 350z

Both cars handle and proform well. The WRX has way more room the Z is more mechanicly sound. WRX is great in adverse weather conditions the Z is great on the track Take your pick it's a toss up. But the new Evo will spank them all LOL.

Re: WRX vs 350z

Id take the Z, Its more of a true sports car. The WRX can still perform(and the STi) but Id rather have a true RWD two door.

Oh my, I have never wanted to kick someones ass so bad in my life, and I never even met you. (just kidding) The Evo X is the sexiest machine since the R34 GT-R, how could anyone diss its sexy jagged edges? I am about to sell my left kiddney and half my liver on the black market to get a downpayment the second it comes out!

Re: WRX vs 350z

The Evo has always been an aggressive , in your-face kind of car.

They look OK. I like the Z styling better though.

Re: WRX vs 350z

I've riden in a Z and my friend just bought a WRX last month acctually. I would have to say go with the Z, handling I would say is slightly better. But I think the WRX is a little more sporty... or fancy... however the hell you wanna put it. It sounds like the WRX is a better bet for you. But the Z is a sexy looking peice of metal... Whats you budget?

Re: WRX vs 350z

I really don't know how I feel about the EVO concept. Like it looks cool as a car. But as an EVO its going away from what made an EVO and EVO. Like you can see it out of the very corner of your eye and say "oh yea that was a nice looking EVO." I think the new concept will make it blend in to much... not that ever shmuck doesn't allready have an EVO haha.
