Depends on what you'll use it for. For me personally the STi's boxer engine consumes to much fuel but maybe that's of lesser importance to you. It is however the most practical so if you like it's look, take that one. If you don't like the looks however, even if it's a great car, I wouldn't go for the STi.

The Z is a very nice car but the styling is something you like or you don't... If you don't need to carry more then one passenger, it would be my choice.

The RX-8 is a good car and it won in many comparison's that I've seen lately.

Basically make up your mind first about what you want/need. Then go down to your dealership and go and take a testdrive...

FYI, the Z shares the same VQ engines with the :
350z,
Altima,
Maxima,
Pathfinder,
QUest,
Murano,
G35 sedan,
G35 coupe,
G35 AWD,
FX35,
I35,
and the QX4 which is currently out of the line-up.

only differance is that they are tuned for differant specs.
i dont find a problem nissan coudnt work with this engine since it is seen in most of its line-up

corvette97, shouldnt u worry about getting your business afloat with the first contracts and cash u make instead of spending every cent u earn from the first three months(which i bet will turn out to be the first 6-8 months) on a car a zillion leagues out of ur price range? i mean hey this is just a thought, what do ur business partners think about u spending the first 50K u make on a car?

st-anger will speak


the z4 is a very masculine car, i like the design, in black and beige interior, really good combination

i really dont like the S2K and the boxter's design is old, i know that the next generation will be alot more cler that the actual one, but i need a used vehicle cuz of the price

now about the bussines, i was talking that my total profit will be around 14,k usd$ monthly, that means 42k usd$ in three months, this is the total profit, the contractors will give us around 15 k for the month and they are 4, 60k usd month, the total cost for the month is around 15kusd and we will have a capital of around 50k usd so everything is safe and the contracts are for 1 year and 3 have already signed, but the bussines will need a lot of time to start :cry:

I would definately go for the STI. Much higher performer than the other two. Great price for the performance you get.
