Message After battling for the better part of the past 5 years with getting my Z32 running, fixed, painted, re-upholstered and in general tip top shape the ordeal is finally coming to a close. To that end I must thank Harry Sandhu aka ZTuner, Ric aka HaloZ, Kuah @ SPL, Coz @ CZP and Russell & the other folks over at Z1 for helping me get all of the parts and problems worked out over the years. Happily, I dropped the Z off at the body shop this morning to be wet-sanded and the painting finished. Needless, to say I am looking forward to getting it back and hopefully being able to park it in our new garage (Provided the bank accepts our bid on the foreclosure ;-) ) as well as actually photograph it without cringing at the clear coat leprosy which had enveloped it. Certainly, a long time coming and I am looking forward to posting up some pictures when it comes back.

Having now gotten that project out of the way, I can turn my attention towards my '93 MR2 3SGTE conversion and finding a new fun daily driver for Laura and I commute in. Thats where I am curious what sort of feedback the community may have? Presently, we are considering the following, used cars.

All are 2005 or newer models.
Infiniti G35
Nissan Z33
Lotus Elise
Porsche Cayman S
BMW 335i
Audi A4 1.8t

My personal inclination has been leaning towards the Porsche, though it is significantly at the top end of our budget along with the 335i. If anyone here has any personal experience with daily driving any one of these cars I would like to hear what your experiences are, and perhaps more importantly how you would compare it to driving your Z daily.
