first of all hi to everyone.

 

ive loved the 300ZX for ages, when it was time for me to buy a car i chose a different car instead of the 300 because i was scared of the petrol consumption.

 

so i chose the 200SX. (next best thing?)

 

1. is the 300 that bad on petrol compared to a 200SX?

 

2. heared that pistons need replacing frequently on a 300, this true?

 

3. any tips you have for me.

 

(PS if i get one it would have to be a TT manual)

 

thanks.....

Welcome. :)

Well 3.0 instead of 2.0 , and Twin Turbo's instead of one.

 

I average low 20's mpg. Mid-high 20's on a Long motorway run...but I dont want to think about what it uses in town and when in "playing" mode.

2. heared that pistons need replacing frequently on a 300, this true?

Nope, not at all.

 

3. any tips you have for me.

Excellet choice ! :)

well that answer is about as comprehensive as you're going to get...

...don't buy one. I like their exclusivity - we can't have them becoming popular, that won't do - I'd have to sell mine.
