    Car peeps. 370z, Challenger or Camaro?

    Need a new car, budge is around 22-25k before. Found a fun convertible 370z touring that I test drove today and a challenger RT yesterday that was a blast. Trying to figure out which I should go for, would be a daily commuter as well as a fun car to drive the hour back and forth to VA every weekend.

    Have not driven a camaro yet, hear the blind spots suck...though the 370z you cant fucking see shit out the back lol

    Nah? I was kind of thinking this while test driving it that I would MAAAAAYBE use it like 2-3 times a year. What about the 370z touring?

    Drove a 2010 Camaro LT for 6~ years. I really enjoyed the car, seats were fairly comfortable, liked the interior, blind spot wasn't as bad as everyone says, and had nice get up and go for a V6. Had solenoid issues at year 5 and the AC went out around year 6 (think it just needed to be recharged, but I was already looking for something else). It was a first generation so I would expect they've probably gotten better.

    Also test drove a 370z back in the day and hated how small it was. It was fun but not a comfortable ride. The whole back is blind so you better hope it comes with a 360 camera. Challenger... It's just too damn big. Never driven one, though, so maybe it's a dream to drive. Camaro > 370z > Challenger

    Side note, most sports packages on these vehicles is going to tighten the suspension which means you're going to feel the road a lot more. For a daily driver, that might not be desirable. When my current car was in the shop, the dealer gave me an exact replica but with sport suspension and brakes and I didn't like the feel anymore. Just something to think about.

    Have you considered a 2018 Subaru WRX? It's at the end of the model year and you could get one for a hair under 26k. I can send you a $500 voucher as well if you buy brand new. It's not a 2 door vehicle but it can get better gas mileagle than any of the 3 you've listed and it's also a fun and versatile vehicle. More so than the ones you've listed.

    Edit: If you're heart set on a 2 door vehicle you can also check out the BRZ. Base model in your price point as well. Same thing as above I have a voucher if you end up buying new.

    would 2nd this. used cars have more risk. subarus have great resell and trade in value (see: https://www.subaru.com/guaranteed-tr...ram/index.html)

    To add onto this if you're looking for a used vehicle you can view Subaru Certified vehicles (It's a 500? point inspection that costs the dealership a couple thousand to perform). You can find the current gen WRX or BRZ with a few thousand dollars knocked off of MSRP or original retail and only 15-20k miles on them.

    This is the downside of owning a Subaru btw. There's also a lot of jokes about being liberal or gay (not that those are bad things).

    That's partly due to Subuaru advertising back in the day catering towards Lesbians.

    Ended up finding a black 370z convertible that i liked. Couldn't find any touring models without the roadster/convert added on that had the features I wanted and were in price range, ended up at 22k for 2013 one with 35k miles on it so not bad. pretty fun to drive. My next will be a challenger, but in the DC area I couldn't justify driving that big of a car.
