[QUOTE=travlincub321;364235]My short list is a SLK320, Boxster, Z3, 350Z btw

My max budget is 10K...

QUOTE]

I have test driven all of these extensively.

SLK even in AMG trim handles like a pig, very little feel gets to driver. Manual trans & shifter is worst I have driven.

Z3 is not much better for feel. I hated driving position & trying to look over the dashboard. Hate the straight 6 engine sewing machine like drone.

350Z Rides rough, huge blind spots, hate the interior especially dash I.P. that moves with tilt wheel, good rattle source. I do like the powertrain VQ V-6, w/manual, shifts better than Boxster 6-speed.

If you are satisfied with a 97-99 2.5L car that's great. Lot's to choose from so take your time.
