The cars are very sensitive to tyre choice, so if brands other than the OE Bridgestone S02s are fitted, it may cause a loss of poise on the limit and even confuse the ABS and traction control.
Also try the fuel filler and boot releases. End of year bhp HR engine, taller with bonnet bulge. I learnt that this was a top spec and one of just 72 in Ultra Yellow. Then I test drove a Z locally. The silver was so boring, but I liked the car.
A lot. In a straight line, it is phenomenal! In some conditions, woe betide you if you do not pay attention. Boasting 3. Not as durable as Nissan: can be costly to run. Great looks combined with fine performance in top four-wheel drive forms, especially 3. Now great value. Now really is the time to buy a well-maintained, lowish-mileage Z, with clear accident record, that ideally has been garaged.
The price differential with less well-kept, leggier examples with incomplete history is not great. The Performance Coupe only , the Touring and the Grand Touring all carry similar values as the Enthusiast, all within a few hundred bucks of each other in coupe form. A nice low-mile hp rear-drive two-seater for a barely four-figure price? These cars are a good value no matter which way you look at it, but it seems like young people gravitate to these cars more than anybody else.
When it comes to actually buying a Z, there are no major gotchas. The engines are known for oil consumption issues and there are the usual concerns with aging cars like worn suspension bushings and gear synchros, but no ticking time bomb. Just about any Z, though, will keep a smile on your face and have your wallet thanking you. Like this article?

Famous in the Fast and Paul Walker owned a handful of Toyota Supras over his life, with the famous white one seen at the end of Furious 7 being one of Tiene todos los carros en su cuarto. La de Tokio Drift es otra que tenemos que verla seguidamente. Written by Alex Harrington. The Legendary VQ Engine There are few engines that sound quite as good as the VQ of a Z, and for a naturally-aspirated engine, it made significant power. Comfy on the highway, and pretty fun for a GT car in the city.
Decent MPG's but not stellar by a long shot. I've taken it on a couple longer weekend trips. It's a nice place to be on the highway. It really eats up the miles. I can't really figure out the low values either. On the plus side, the aftermarket is huge, they sound great IMO anyway , and in my experience they can take some punishment. They're a really good do-it-all car.
The G coupe has a decently useable back seat for my kids and doesn't have the stupid bar across the back like the Z. Oh, and like mentioned above, they do like going sideways But thanks for putting them back on my radar. I like the way they drive, in a commuting schmoozmobil sort of way.

I thought it would make about the best cheap DD. You'll need to log in to post. Log in. Login Digital Edition Buy a Subscription. Is it not as good of a sports car as it sounds on paper?
I test drove a G35 Sedan yesterday with , miles. That thing is peppy! In reply to NoleFan: Good to know. Because they turned out to be pretty underwhelming on a daily basis.
