Dark blue Z with cool wheels? That was a sweet ride. That color+wheel combo was about the nicest Z I've seen (Night Blue is my favorite GTI color). Trade it in?
Yep. Midnight Blue and the wheels (when clean) were Bronze Burst. I really liked it.
I liked the way it turned heads driving around too, I don't get that in the GTI anymore. It's kind of weird.
And yeah, I traded it in. Almost at 100k on a clutch slave cylinder (made of plastic) that was Nissan's weak point (at least '09-'12, there was no word on the '13+ models if it was resolved, I may have just lucked out). I was also tired of the manual transmission in traffic and lack of OEM electronic toys, etc. (nav, quality sound, touchscreen (I had an aftermarket, but it's not the same), other safety features).
It was also
very noisy inside on any type of road and even when I put the OEM exhaust back on. You'd have to nearly yell just to have a conversation, and could feel every bump, hear (shockingly loud) every rock that hit the underside/wheel well, lol.
