Stick w/ your tC...I heard that Nissan's fall apart if you Drive them Hard....Especially the G35's...the integrity of the G35 start to go down the toilet!!...I knew a few people complain that they fall apart!!!

I have a couple friends with Z's, G's, Maxima's, etc. Some are bone stock and some are pimped out in every direction. The one thing they all have in common ... build quality, its just not there. Interior bits falling off exterior pieces getting loose, headlights covered in tiny random stress fractures. Sure they're fun to drive but at +/-$30k used for a Z or G35 you could also get a Ferrari 308 or 328 GTB.

I thought Nissan improved their quality and reliability...I guess not?

Wow, alot of different opinions.. I dont want to go buy another used car, and if i was it would not be a 350z, id look at another porsche 944 (but a turbo S version) or a M3 or S4, R32 or something along those lines (I love my german autosports cars!) or a prestine 93-95 MR2 turbo...

BUT.. i was looking for something with a warranty.. So that idea is out the window. As for the person that suggested a DODGE NEON SRT... cripes.. have you seen the inside? its WORSE than a regular neon by far... manual windows even, wtf is that?

My buisness partner has a 07 maxima, and it has plenty of power, and is very well built with 2 personal gripes about his car that are no big deal (one is the chintzy glass is not re-tractable for his sunroof, and the other is the chrome on his front grill peeled).

I have no problems with my tC, I like everything about it and have only drivin it 5 times now since I got my S/C installed last month. It is pretty damn fun, people can tell you definatly have something under the hood I think. Honestly, maybe if I end up getting something with a lot more power still, I will get in trouble with tickets and such (i am semi-responsible, but come on, you have to hit it sometimes..)

I guess I wanted to be like one of the first with a semi-built nismo styled coupe, in the tradition of my full trd equiped tc.. I dunno.. Its always cool to be in the first group, and I got in kinda late with the tC's.. Anyways, ill probally have _someone_ post up some pix of mine in the next month or so, I just got the trd 18" 5 spokes, and bought tires but I need to wait until one more part comes in

I guess I should start dumping money into my house again rather than cars and toys....

I think Ill stay and build my tC a bit more, it is a pretty fun styled car.

Default BMW 1 Series

$30k is a lot for an Altima, but not for a BMW 1 series. Check out this thread.

I had an old BMW 328i, great handling and performing little car but way over engineered, 4 O2 sensors at +100 dollars each Unless you have alot of money to poney up to keep it running for ever i'd stay away from beemers, just my 2 cents.

i really dont think the altima coupe is anything special looking, its actually pretty boring. i'd take a 350z or a g35 over it in a heartbeat.

a little pricer but I'd wait for the G37. I'm probably going to trade the tc in for one in a year or two.
