LESmo 8,052 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Guy at work had a GT86 - I would say its around the same as a 350/370z - service pretty much only I think they are considered fairly reliable generally. Can you imagine this with 4WD... I bet its a epic little car. 1 Quote Current - 2014 (14) 370z NISMO in Storm White #229, JDM Carbon Nismo Kickplates, JDM Carbon Nismo B Pillars, Nismo Tyre Caps, Nismo Oil Cap, K&N Filters, MY15 Nismo Start Button.

LESmo 8,052 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I still can't get my hear around 3 cylinder engines!! The new Juke has one. Its a bit more of a rattle - in particular when its cold which is a tune to a very high quality diesel engine. But when its accelerating - you really don't feel any difference to be honest. 1 Quote Current - 2014 (14) 370z NISMO in Storm White #229, JDM Carbon Nismo Kickplates, JDM Carbon Nismo B Pillars, Nismo Tyre Caps, Nismo Oil Cap, K&N Filters, MY15 Nismo Start Button.

Paul, please submit yourself for narcotics abuse. This comment above is a clear indicator all is not right (re retiring the Honey Monster!) To be fair, whilst it's no Z, the reviews are really good, watched a YouTube channel reviewing it a few weeks back (can't remember which) and they said it's epic. It's a homolgation special I believe so that Toyota can take it on the WRC. Sound familliar? That's what Lancia did back in the day with the Stratos! 1 Quote 2011 Gunmetal Nissan GTR Premium Edition - Litchfield Stage 1, Miltek Y-Pipe, Alcon Discs, Ferodo DS2050 Pads, Flat bottomed steering wheel 2016 Sepang Blue Audi RS3 - APR Stage 1 tune with High Flow air filter and Secondary Decat Pipes - I'LL MISS THE POPS AND BANGS (BUT THE NEIGHBOURS WON'T) 2012 Pearl White 370Z GT Edition - Invidia Gemini catback exhaust with burnt titanium rolled tips, Stillen Gen 3 Intake Kit, UpRev, 15mm Eibach spacers, Satin Black painted bumpers - GONE TO A NEW OWNER WITHIN THE CLUB BUT WILL BE VERY FONDLY REMEMBERED. 2005 Gun Metal 350Z GT, Alezan Leather & plenty of mods - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_S 8,952 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 The Yaris is 100% a future classic. It'll probably be held in high regard as one of the last fun fossil fueled cars.The Honey Monster has all but been retired this year due to Covid and fun being cancelled. I think I've charged the battery more often than I've driven it. I'm hoping 2021 will allow me to get some decent mileage on the 370Z. It doesn't deserve to be put to pasture. It needs to run wild.I think the Yaris would be okay with thrashing around local roads. The 370 wants open roads and long distances.I've a large surplus in my petrol budget and I fully intent to use it at every opportunity! 1 1 Quote 'A standard limited edition Yellow 370Z* with a plethora of minor bespoke mods' *one of 40 don't you know!

JohnFK 4,611 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have certainly considered one to replace my GTi but decided it wasn't enough of an improvement to justify the loss of practicality. And I have to limit my fleet to three!!! The Up! Is used as an everyday car and I dont think the GR fits that for me.

Neutreus 2,114 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Fair play that is a SERIOUSLY good car - over 1.2g in cornering and braking!
