Why the fuck do government departments think they can develop apps etc to make life easier but all do is frustrate! Because they don't work...

If you can get a Z for around 35k,EN price, I would take the Z. Cars here are about USD 40k for the EN and 50k for the Z.

Having my first diesel vehicle sure has a learning curve. Different animal.

Starting a family soon and would like something a little less rough on the street while still be able to Auto X. Granted the Z wouldn't be any better but the N is a strong contender.

Yeah, you can get a pretty good deal on a Z while the N is gaining popularity and its premium rising.

Oh, I suggest you get an SUV and put your Auto X plans on the back burner for a few years.

My wife sold the Brz and bought an i30n. A very practical car,hatchback, with a performance bonus. Out of the box it handles fantastic,driver adjustable. DCT version is superb, you have to try before you say the purists stick thing. 0-60 in launch control 4.7 sec. Dct also makes 10 more hp with the NGS overboost button and if you want to it gets roudy. 1890, haven`t counted, combinations of steering,diff,power,shocks,exhaust and gear shifts etc.

My LYRIQ, which I easily park in a standard 2 car garage with MomHawk's Mustang does not fit in a lot of "modern" parking spots.

I've noticed the same thing with clothes... It's definitely the same thing...

It's time for elastic waist pants, suspenders and wearing shirt tails out.

I'm not going to make a jump since I'm contract at the moment. But driving the BRZ on a daily basis is a HUGE bummer.

I love the car, but it sucks as a DD.

I want like a Lexus IS350 or something, if I'm going to have to continue to go into an office.

I loved mine as a DD. I totally ruined it with track mods so bought a second.
