The alfa is also hopeless and to add insult is front wheel drive and has a diesel option, no no no, painfully pretty but just say no

as for the 350z its a real blokes car big engine, sounds good, goes well, looks butch too which is rare in the current crop of coupes but its due for replacement and the older ones have a renault sourced v6 from an espace so expect it to leave you at the side of a few motorways in a cloud of steam from time to time. late ones have the new v6 and are much much better, look for the bonnet bulge as a giveaway goes up not down like the earlier models.

anything german is too common or boring to consider realistically unless you look at m3s but then you look like a 318i with a bodykit wannabe,

a rx8 is the only other option close to the 350z, the 225 is just as fast and just as thirsty, feels razor sharp to drive though cos it soo much lighter and has a pair of doors to confuse old people but you can pick one up cheap as chips.

between those two, for me the 350, love the noise and looks just make sure its a late spec!!!
What do you base the quote that alfas are hopeless??

Jeremey clarkson slates the 350 when he drove it!!
