    Default what car to get as my next

    Ok first off folks i'm a big nissan fan so it's hard to step away from the nissans but here are the choices. Looking to get a new daily driver

    2004 G35 sedan 6spd black on black
    2005 saab 9-2x turbo wagon(wrx)
    1990s lexus SC300 2jzgte



    G35: I love nissans , the car has low miles, nismo kit, springs, lots of goodies, 6spd black on black with HID. Price is reasonably high but overall a good deal
    CONS: will be slowest of bunch without a supercharger or turbo which would be a while down the line (not much of a speed boost up from my maxima)
    --------------
    9-2x turbo: low miles, 24k, 5spd , turbo (i love wagon bodystyle)
    newest car and lowest miles
    CONS: most bland car, no other cons really, price is really good.
    ---------------------------------
    SC300: 2jzgte swap would be done at mainstream and might do a single turbo swap for more power.
    CONS: older car, would need to repaint body and prob be an older shell like a 92-93 so I could afford the motor swap cost.


    what do you guys think? as a nissan fan the G35 is really appealing , but also i love the wrx powerplant and i LOVE turbo cars...
    the sc300 would be an older car, but would be very sick to own and drive daily, I like the look of the SC body

    It's slow and heavy. That's what it is.

    The newer ones have more power, but I ran one that was probably an '02 or '03 and it was laughable.

    G35 is sexy and is without a doubt, a great car.

    The 9-2x...I mean, you may as well buy a WRX wagon, but I think the Saab looks better.

    SC300...not a bad car at all. You say you can afford the motor swap...so go for it.

    I think the SC300 is a good bet. Go with that.
