Given up on the 350Z for practical reasons. I think an A6 is going to be my next car. Any pearls of wisdom (as opposed to wisecracks) you lot have about problems, what to look for etc. I'm looking at the 2.7T or Quattro sport models ATM.
Volvo S60 2.5T, T5 or R might be a good alternative. All available with AWD as an option, better spec, less money, better ride quality and option of the adjustable Ohlins suspension.
If you could have a car that drove better in every way, still looked ok and had a decent image, you'd still choose a car that was slower and drove worse because in your opinion it looked better?
Funny you should mention that, I saw one the other day and thought they aren't bad looking motors. I'm not a Volvo fan but that's more prejudice than experience. I'll definitely look into it.
check out a test in a Superb V6 TDi, then the Audi back to back.
And if you want real Snobbery, our local Skoda dealer has in the same showroom, Skoda, Brabus, AMG, TVR, and Porsche. and they are right across the road froma VW showroom, and the Skoda showroom looks 3 times as flash, and plush as the VW one.
You don't get cars like that in the same group unless there is something good about them.
Who is going to go into a Showroom looking for a Brabus when there is just a huge Skoda sign over the door, unless they were of similar background?

are better spec models available. Anyone who discounts the Skoda brand (unless they have serious image problem) has more money than sense these days. And the official skoda blurb line.
You mentioned the 2.7T A6 - I don't know if they've improved them, but have a look on peachorlemon.co.uk or the user reviews on parkers.co.uk - last time I looked a lot of people had a lot of problems with the 2.7T's.
