    I kept saying if we didn’t see a manual Supra, this Z would be the last of the best manual cars to exist. I really think in a couple years, they’ll do away manuals and push electric sport cars. Tesla will release their roadster, which will be super expensive, but it will influence the industries to get competitive and make electrics of their own.

    I don’t think so, almost all cars in Europe have a manual option and almost all cars are made to option, barely any dealership has any cars on their lot as there isn’t any interest in that, just for end of the year sales. It’s cheap to put in a manual for the European manufacturers, it never costs much to even design that. I believe many are here to stay and Porsche will definitely make manual EVs

    @@HarryTwatter can vouch for this. My turbos blew at 17k miles and had coolant issues. Luckily all I had was an aftermarket exhaust at the time and they replaced under warranty. Another thing to note is to swap out the turbos on this car you need to drop the engine which is a bitch in itself if you tried to do it yourself or pay someone to do it as its much more work. Would never buy another Nissan product. This isnt just my experience either but countless others Ive seen post about it in the FB groups over the 2 years I owned it.

I can honestly say I’d much rather have this over the Supra, for the value factor (significantly cheaper than a similarly powered Supra), the suspension design, and the looks. The blue is fantastic on this car. Also, the fact that it stil has a mechanical handbrake is a huge plus.

JDM reliability 2000 and onward hasn't been spectacular in the performance world overall Everything from the S54 and similar to the B58/S58 have incredible reputation for a reason.

    Been back and forth between this and the supra for me - think after seeing this the supra is my clear choice. Supra has a more upscale look inside and out I feel, the supra sounds better, supra has better fuel economy, I don't mind the lack of manual and I don't really like the black top on the Z. I will say the Z has better color options and looks fantastic from the rear, and it looks like a great car all things considered.

I really love that Nissan made this new Z, and I think it's great aesthetically but relative to the Supra in that $50k range it's a tough sell IMO. But at least it was done in-house vs being farmed out...
