Again of a matter of taste, i cant imagine how you think thats bland but thats up to you
because its a very hard colour to get any depth from.

Silver is just plain and uninspiring, I couldn't imagine a more boring colour to have on a car, every single other colour gives the car a different look, silver makes them almost forgetable.
like i said its a matter of taste, if i was to get another one it would either be the gun metal grey or silver, black would be nice but are bloody dent and scratch magnets, in a few years time people will probably say the same as white, and that fact at the time i had mine 2005-2006 there was only 3 or 4 colours available for uk models if i recall............. on the other hand i do agree with you to a certain degree there are a lot of silver cars on the road but from what i see there arent that many 350z around, mondeos vectras blah blah blah maybe

I think silver actually really suits some cars.
Hang on if you want 4 or 5 seats then the 350z is really not a good idea?
This is where I come across VERY DUMB - it only has 2 seats? I thought it had 4 :/
Doh!
Maybe a Skyline 350GT? Basically a 350Z but with more seats: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1161683.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1188520.htm
Now that is nice!
Are 350s just as pricey to maintain/run? I do still really like the RX8 but it's just too damn much, and the idea of flooding the rotary scares me a bit haha
I kind of like the outside but im not an import car fan, hate square rear number plates and stupid (althought not needed in japan) rear foglights that look like some 17 year has fitted to his corsa!, the interiors look a bit chatty compared to the 350z imo too
Oh it's an import only car? Imports tend to cost a fair bit more to insure/tax don't they?
To be honest I don't really know what the running costs are like, they are import only I believe. I only put it out there as an alternative to the 350z as you need more than 2 seats, I'm not really recommending it to you as I don't know the in's and out's of it.
I do think the suggestion of an 'in between' car may be more appropriate to ascertain if you really do want to go down the performance route?

Well it's just that I don't know exactly what I can afford to run. I'm only 23, still at home, earning about £17k annually. Basically I want something flashy and a bit faster. I really like the likes of the RX8 and 350Z but I fear I'm setting my sights too high.
Trouble is, I don't know cars that well, nor what's out there to chose from.
Ideally, it needs to be around 200bhp, coupe, 4 seats and not stupidly expensive to run. If I'm going to spend £10k on a car, I want it to be farely new, no older than 5 years with no more than ~40k miles. I just want it to feel new, not 3rd or 4th hand etc.
Celica? Save a bit of money, should be reliable enough, insurance shouldn't be too high:

Edit:
By spending a bit less you could justify it being a little bit older? I wouldn't be too focused on age to be honest.

christ alive there both very pricey???????? i remember looking at celicas last year 52 were around £3500-4000?
Wow, absolutely shocking value there. Jap stuff is great because its cheap, as soon as it stops being cheap there becomes no point.
I forget to mention, on my 1.6 Astra, I get 50p for every mile at work (I only do 8k miles a year and I'd say 5k of those are business miles). So although the lower mpg won't be too bad, at least it's the local council paying and not me
GET A DIESEL and as lo as cc as poss!!!!!!!!!!I forget to mention, on my 1.6 Astra, I get 50p for every mile at work (I only do 8k miles a year and I'd say 5k of those are business miles). So although the lower mpg won't be too bad, at least it's the local council paying and not me
