What car makes a better fun daily driver /o/? Space or practicality is irrelevant for me
WRX or 350Z
>>
>>14075965
depends on years.
Generally the WRX. More room. Back seat. AWD.
I had both and they both are fun, but the Z is wildly impractical for anyone over 17 using it as a DD.
>>
>>14075973
01-03 WRX,03-06 350Z
>>
>>14075976
If you aren't getting the HR 350z don't waste the time. They all take to mods like shit. You basically have to turbo or SC it. But the VQ will be pretty god damn reliable. Also the 03 and early 04 had synchro problems on the 350z. Caused gears to grind.
>>
>>14075983
Why would i tarbo or supercharge a 350z i would be daily driving? Stock power seems sufficient,i understand the HR is alot better but do i really need that for a daily driver?The WRX on the other hand is known to have glass transmissions from what i hear
>>
>>14076000
Yeah i'v also heard a lot about these "glass transmissions" but i'v always thought the meme got started because kiddies drop the clutch out at 7000rmp every time they come out of a stop.
>dude my wrx has a glass transmission it finally blew out at 50k miles after i launched it at redline for the thousandth time
>>
>>14076033
so between a bugeye wrx and 03-06 350z you would lean towards the Z?
>>
>>14076045
Yes i personally would, i love that VQ engine sound. I owned a G35 coupe for a couple years a while back so it would be nostalgic.
However they are both great cars just in different ways.
>>
>>14076061
so in case i get the Z it should at least be 05+?
>>
>>14076072
Yeah and try to find one with least mods as possible. Most 350zs have been rice taxed to shit.
>>
>>14075976
lol 01-03 wrx, top kek
98-2000 was the best
>>
>>14075965

MR2 Turbo
>>
>>14076000

Generally, the stock Subaru 5-speed is good until you want to take it past 300hp. Assuming you're not launching it like an idiot.
>>
>>14076729
fucking this. don't bitch out on me nigga
>>
sti > 350
350 > wrx

both are shit though

>>14075965

Miata

As someone who owns a 370z; WRX. The 350z is a clunky, unrefined mess which the 370z fixed up considerably.

>>14078541
Also this, NB best as far as used goes.
>>
>>14075965
Id say the 350z, it's not as big of a cop magnet as the Subaru. I felt so vulnerable in my Subaru, every time I saw a cop I felt like I was being targeted and whenever they were behind me I felt like I was being followed whether I was or not.

Also, I paid 180/mo to insure my 2012 WRX and when I traded it for a 2015 Focus ST my insurance is now 65/mo.
>>
>>14076033
They would also launch in 2nd gear. Every failed transmission I saw when I worked at a Subie dealer had a broken 2nd gear.
>>
>>14079314
would you say an 01-03 wrx can be a fun,reliable daily driver?
>>
>>14079314
No one launches in 2nd gear, wtf. 2nd gear is obviously the next progression from 1st but the gear ratio is so wide that redline in 1st is like 3k rpm in 2nd all of that shock loading just destroys 2nd, especially since they wheels don't slip.
