The SVT Focus is over 94,000 miles and I am just leisurely looking around to see what is out there. Checked on insurance costs for 330ci or a 350Z. 350Z is about $100 more every 6 months if I replace my Focus with it. My wife's Civic will stay.
I have seen reasonably priced 330ci's but they are pushing high 70,000 to mid 80,000 miles. Is there any good life left for an E46 with that high of mileage? I also like the ZHP package, but those are rare. There is a nice red 330i ZHP in Austin, TX right now, that is beautiful, I just don't like red. I went to a Nissan dealership down here and wanted to drive a used 350Z, but ended up in a brand new 370Z, so I still have yet to test drive a 350Z. Drove both the 330i and 330ci at Charlottesville BMW for the Susan G. Komen Ultimate Drive. It is a shame that went away
Would likes:
manual
RWD
Reasonable on car insurance
90% use is commuting
A car that is reliable and can take my 25 mile round trip commute 5 days a week on some crappy San Antonio roads
Will rarely have to pick up people at the airport, so have to possibly be ready for that.
Just trying to see what everyone thinks on here, and personal impressions on the car listed or comparable vehicles.
