- Which year has the best reliability? We're not interested in the 2009 due to poor reviews and higher miles.
- That back window is very small and causes concern for visibility issues. Also, the blindspots are pretty apparent but I've been told that there are extra mirrors you can stick on the sideviews to compensate. Is this the case?
- The space inside the Z is really concerning. What happens if we want to put an overweight friend / family member in the passenger seat. Will it be extraordinarily uncomfortable? Is it safe for the passenger?
- We live in New Orleans where there are a lot of terrible potholes and uneven roads. How will this affect the Z?
- How bad is outside noise? If my fiance and I are on a long road trip will we be able to talk at a confortable volume in the car? Or will we have to scream to hear each other? I've been told there is some sort of fix for the road noise called "Dynamat". Does anyone know anything about this?
- What about cargo space? Can you pack the car comfortably for two people to take a road trip for a week? It seems like if you have a navigation system there isn't any storage space in the front.
- We've heard that the 370Z has reliability issues. Can someone please explain what that really means? What kind of notable issues are there?
If anyone can address any of our concerns we would be most appreciative. This whole process is a little overwhelming so we're just trying to cover all our bases the best we can. My fiance really loves this car and we want to make sure its a reasonable buy for what we need. Thanks in advanced. |
I dont think your looking for a sports car , sports cars always comes with compromises like visibility, noise and cargo space. Might as well get an SUV cuz that will address all your negative thoughts about the car. What about a mustang gt with some good cargo space in the back, quiet when cruising around and yet capable exciting and fast.
I test drove both the 370z and g37s but the g37 just feels like im driving a fast altima coupe with its lame interior and too many aluminum accenting . Then as soon i start driving the z , i feel like im driving a more exotic car ( i said feels like) its pure orgasm.
