This vehicle series is so nice in terms of performance/usability/cost combo. Went out to eat the other day with family of 4. Not the most comfortable drive - but doable.

The vehicle provides performance with just enough usability to carry family/friends in a pinch or haul some items from the store. I was able to fit two garage heaters from Home Depot via the fold down rear seat. And two long distance vacations with load of camping and fishing gear.

Man the 2-seater layout of Z and some other vehicles has been weighing on me lately, am I gonna get enough use out of that config? šŸ¤”

I saw this funky bullshit on the GR86 subReddit.

Wow complete BS. Over $50k for a twin? That completely defeats the entire point of the twins - affordability.

Iā€™m hoping we wonā€™t see this from Nissan dealers with the Zā€¦ but we will.

that is crazy...
the fact that the engine wasn't inspected in person for a known problem should be enough to get lawyers involved.

I know my Peugeot RCZ Type R had a reputation of the turbo engine blowing up ā€¦I was lucky not to be included in that group and the car was pretty reliable.
But I also know to replace it it, if it did happen was something like 25k so i did buy an extended warranty which back then still only equated to 5 years.
There was only 500 made to start off with and many feel that only around half remain due to this issue, and people driving too fast and totalling them šŸ˜”
