Advice on Car Options!
Okay so my girlfriend is looking into a new car and she has a few options. Ultimately, I would like to know if their are certain things to get or not from certain cars. I'd like to hear from people who might own these cars. Basically, I'd like to hear impressions and "great deals" from things that come included in packages and such.
Her options right now are: Dodge Charger Ford Mustang Nissan 370Z Infinity G37 What do you guys think? And why? |

out of that list, if money wasn't a huge issue, I would take the Infiniti, because it is the higher class version of the 370z (doesn't help that my wife loves Z's and G's too). That said, the 370Z and G37 are very pricey.
My friend Mark has a v6 Charger SXT, black on black. Looks nice, rides good, plenty of room. I guess the key thing is... what is your g/f looking for in her car? |

She doesn't really care but I don't want a harsh ride for her since after awhile I'm sure she would feel uncomfortable. I also don't want a car that is prone to lots of problems. Something reliable. I hear g37s are very comfortable?
The camaro isn't on that list because not that she doesn't like it but she thinks of them as "guy cars". She is considering one but I guess at the moment it isn't at the top of her list. |

Nope, and my car is lowered 1.3" with peddlers springs. She only feels the harshness when there is the occassional pothole I can't get out of the way of.

I have a 350Z, and understand that Nissan is a decent product; very low on maintenance.

370z or Mustang cause I'm biased. I think she'd love the 370, my mom bought one as her first sports car and loves it. Mustangs are great cars too, she'd probably like the Cali Special.
Usually all the fat ones drive Mustangs. It's kind of depressing.

What comes in the cali special package? Is it worth it?
The only thing that shys her away from the 370z is the lack of rear seat and low luggage space. She doesn't need a lot of luggage space but the 370 seems like you could maybe fit a duffle bag in there at best lol It would be cool for her to get a camaro but if she got it, it would probably take me like 3 days before I got into her head and started giving her ideas on how to mod it lol. Especially since I have a bit of experience on what to do and what not to do lol |

The Mustang and the G37 were on my list when I was looking before buying the Camaro. Also on my list were: IS250, TSX, CTS coupe.
The Infiniti had THE best interior - comfortable, bells, whistles. I did not want to get out after the test drive!! Sadly, the used one that I test drove had transmission issues. And the new ones were $$$$. A bright red G-series coupe could still one day be in my future... Mustangs are fun and much smaller (than say, the Charger). All good options!
