How far is your 90 minute commute? It'd need to be well over 100 miles for the maths to come close to justifying spending an extra £5k on a replacement. In fact thinking about depreciation etc - I'd guess you'd have two years free motoring if you stick with the Z - longer if you're taking out finance.
