3 NA and 1 Turbo car.

In terms of better; do u justify on performance only or the total balance
like comfort, boot space, maintance and etc?

Performance,

I would say 350Z in the straight while handling is either RX8 or DC5R.

Which 1 is much more easy to maintain?

I want power, handling n comfort...

Can a Caldina compare with them?

Turbo & Rotary engine is more difficult to maintain.

3.5 liter road tax with big appetiate for 350Z is the disadvantage for
350Z. Because it big and heavy; I dont think the handling is better than
more agility cars like S15, RX-8 & DC5R.

I would say DC5R the most balance (include maintaining)..with 2 liter
road tax; 220bhp + with 2 rear seat for your kids. NA engine which just
like normal cars...5k-10k service interval; Should be quite ok. Even FF
setup which intend understeer rather oversteer like FR layout...more easy
to control for NORMAL driver.

Cant say which more comfort (they not in my garage), but I know Caldina
can compare comfort with them but not in handling & power.

Friend,

Power to weight ratio....

The fatest 350z is 280 bhp; the highest among the list.

While...RX8 = 1330kg, S15 = 1240 kg, DC5R = 1288 kg (curb weight). All is
220 bhp above.

Caldina is 1310 (curb weight; gross weight is about 1500kg)

So surely the lighter the car...the more easy to go fast.

* Caldina 2.0 GT-Four. It`s powered by a 4th Generation 3S-GTE pumping
out 260ps.

As what i review from other owner of Caldina, they said it is a very
powerful car n good in handling too. How u think bro?

So as for u, DC5 is ur choice?
