So, here is my dilemma:

I bought an 03 330ci. I hated the car, plus the wife discovered she was pregnant two weeks later. Sold the 330ci, bought the 05TL. It has alot of amenities, power, and the baby seat will fit. The baby is 6 months old and NEVER been in the TL. I like the car, do not get me wrong. But I am considering selling it and getting a sports car. I miss RWD and if I am going to pay ins for a sports car, I might as well drive one. I am thinking a G35 coupe or an S2000. I have two antiques---TR6 and a 911s. But they are no where near daily drivers and this would be.


Any thoughts?

What does the wife drive?

JWhite1301

She drives an 04 4 Runner.

Get a g35...no back seats in the s2k, and you can't turn the passenger airbag off, so I think its actuallly illegal to have a kid in the car. g35 is a very fun car.

G35 is a heavy pig.

You already have some toys, I would go with the G35. Better daily driver out of the two

you can't go wrong with the S2k or G35c. I guess the G35 would be a better daily driver, I have seen some people pull off an S2k in the snow with a set of blizzaks... Test em both out and go with what you really love.

Why not a G35 Sedan? Sporty, RWD, and 4 doors.

LalchandYamlajat

He doesnt need the extra two doors tho.

So I went a drobe the S2 tonight. I like the looks and feel of the car. One problem, I am 6'2" and 240. When I shut the door, I was cramped. That ruled that out as a dd. DAMN!!!!

I do not like the g35 sedan. No offense if anyone has one, but not for me. The coupe is much better looking imo.

Since this comment did not offer a idea, I will ask for one.....

BEETROOT

Minch could have told ya that, he's always bitching about how he can't fit in the s2k.

I'm 5'10" and I have the seat all the way back.


Get an 04 GTO

Why did you hate the 330ci?

JWhite1301

Where do I start.....

The seats were crap. I also had the upgraded sport package. Both front seats would "click" everytime I accelerated. The car was underpowered. It also had the SMG transmission. It is "neat" at first, but gets very boring. The interior styling was horrible. I had it for 6 months and it was in the shop 7 times. No more.

JWhite1301

I have not thought about the GTO. How is the quality/dependability?

They have some at carmax...2004's with 3k miles going for around $25,000....

If you do get the GTO, check out the 05, they are MUCH better.

What are the differences? Besides HP. I can get 50 hp from mods and save money from the 04-05.
