Hey y’all,

So I come from the world of Subarus where anything over 350hp and your eyes will never stop crying. Recently I picked up a 350z which is dope, but something been lacking. I was researching Ken Block the other day and totally forgot about his sick Focus RS. Then it hit me. Maybe I should give that vehicle a try. I live in the PNW and a 350z is not the most practical car when it rains/snows a majority of the year. Time for the actual questions of the post

1. How reliable are the vehicle’s? Like I’m I going to have to be constantly fixing it or taking it in for issues besides basic maintenance?

2. How do they handle power? I’m not looking to track the car, but I do enjoy throwing bolt-ons on the car and maybe do some fun back rounds runs. I read about the head gasket issues but with that fix how do they do at 400hp plus range?

3. Is there a year you suggest?

4. Compared to similar awd platforms (evos, stis and golfs) how do they handle?

If you’ve made it this far, 20pts for whatever Hogwarts house you belong too and thanks for the advise. Cheers.
