I use the Z32 as a DD. If you think cheap you’ll be cheap. A 1.8 or 2.0 shitbox is not the answer, assuming the definition of a shitbox is usually a cheap car. The original post gave the impression that another car is not an option and he was just asking how the Z32 is as a DD.
The Z32 can be an extremely efficient car if you daisy drive it everywhere, and a twinturbo Z32 is more efficient than an NA if you stay out of boost. When you go into boost though you can pretty much watch the gas gauge needle go down.
