Flappist what's the V6 in those Zs like? Smooth like the Alloytec?

I'd pick the 370 too, for what it is. It's a gorgeous design apart from the front n back lights.

If i am only allowed to drive the one car then I choose a D40 Nissan Navara ST-X. Nice interior, can fit kids and all the other bits and pieces you need for a days outing. Plus you can still use it on the weekend to do little jobs around the house, trips to the tip etc....

No they are very smooth and almost dangerously deceptive. Another totally anonymous person (not me of course) has, on a number of occasions, ended up somewhere near 200km/h while overtaking and the only way you can really tell you are near redline (7500rpm) is by the tacho or shift light,
