Message I might would have to look at the Mitsu.

I know people say they have weak trannys, but is that mostly a problem with the AWD VR4's? I know AWD is torture on a tranny. I assume tgt22 is talking about a regular NA GT, front driver. The transmission issues might not be as big a deal on those. And he could eb talking about an automatic, which might not have the same reliability issues either. Anybody know?

The Mitsu is a lot nicer on the inside. It is a luxury sports car/GT much like the Z. It is also a heavy car, even more so than the Z. And that mass is a good thing when you want to protect the occupants.

Also, the FWD is a little safer in the wet and snow/ice, although I doubt a stock 240SX is really bad either.

Unless of course, your wife loves to drift or road-race, in which case you should definetly get the 240 =)
