I was looking at a special summer issue of Auto Express last night that rated the Nissan 350Z as the greatest drive of 2004.

I was fooking livid since 2 guys I work with, who often criticise my STI prodrive, have one.

The WR1 came 10th and the FQ330 13th. Also, which I which I thought suprising, the BM 330cd (6th) beat the CSL (12th).

I've driven one of my colleagues 350Z and it is a nice car, very refined, solidly built, responsive, grippy, handling is superb but its not a patch on my STI Prodrive for raw power!

It may not have the power of a Sti but it looks a hell of a lot better and from what I've read, it the TC is turned off it is a very entertaining drive with excellent RWD handling and crisp turn in. I'd have one in a shot if my circumstances were different.

I think you miss the point, the best drive is not all about the fastest car, there are a lot more factors involved, comfort, ride, handling etc etc....

Auto Express is what you use when you run out of bog roll - it is surely the worst car mag on sale in Britain - I'd rather read "Intersection".

ROTFLMAO

Why would you be "fooking livid" Surely if you were perfectly happy with your car you'd have no reason to be livid ? Do you secretly wish you'd bought a 350z ?

I recently sold my Impreza and was faced with the dilemma of buying a 25 to 30k car. The new STI 8 was furthest from my mind for several reasons (but I can't be bothered going into them)

You mention raw power - I think you'll find the figures for both cars are pretty much similar. You just don't get that punch in the back that a turbo'd car gives you.

Plus if you drive a 350z you're driving a classy, refined car. Something you could never say about an Impreza...

PS, 350z Gunmetal Grey, GT Pack and Rays alloys coming Dec 8th

Aye Evo is the drivers / performance car rag from same publisher...Evo have always loved Scoobs, you look in the back and Spec c is nearly always the one they recomend in that category.
