No dream >>> visiting relatives in northern Italy and wanted to take a drive up to Germany through the Brenner Pass in Austria, over the mountains. Cousin offered up his Yugo to save us on car rental so three of us loaded up and off we went...actually got her up to 80 on the Autostrade..yes MPH!!..still stayed in the right lane...with 3 people, had to climb the Alps in 1st gear..never got out of 1st for about 10 miles..did get great gas mileage for the trip but every trip since then = rental car from the start!! Actually gained a bit of respect for a Daiwoo several years back....200 kph on the Autostrada!!! and it stayed together!!

for me, the Z was about equal (or even a little less) than my 11 year old M3. Brakes were great, and the NAV was nice. Interior felt a little cheap, especially the leather - I felt like I was stepping sideways from a decade old car (that I still have mind you). Had to kick it up a notch.
