2005 Nissan 350Z Base
-Affordability: When I was shopping for almost new cars (couple years), I couldn't find anything that I really wanted in my price range, and then realized that looking into slightly more aged cars, I could pick up some very nice stuff, so I went with a car I had always liked!
-RWD: Those three letters sum it up pretty well by themselves, but it was something I wanted in my next vehicle. Sadly, the Base 350Z had an open-differential, and it is something I will remedy to, but I prefered this option to getting one (and paying for the extra) with a viscous only to ditch it because it's useless.
-Decent power from factory: And it's as much as I allowed myself to have, because I tend to use all of it, everywhere.
-Condition: This one was very clean, was bone stock, nothing modified so it was like a fresh start when I got it and was actually pretty happy. When looking around, most of them had something done, and that was like getting someone's sloppy seconds. To me, a good used car to buy was a car in fully original condition. At least this way, you don't "see" the abuse they've been through.
I enjoy it everyday of the summer.
