The 186 SE gets good marks for its performance, durability and handling.
The Z518 Comanche tracks true and straight through the whole power range.
It gave us a test ride like a million bucks, topping out at 67.5 mph. It stepped up on pad early in the 60s and held its ground easily.
The Z521 Comanche runs like a thoroughbred greyhound. I didn’t battle the wheel to stop chine-walking — the Z just stayed crisply on course.
