I've been a happy Z car owner since 2008 when I purchased my first Nissan Z. She was a bright red '04 350Z Touring Roadster. Loved that car to pieces. Being a car lover I recently went with my sister car shopping as she is in need of a new car. While checking out Dealerships I happen to lay eyes on a beautiful Pearl White 370Z convertible at our local Nissan Dealership. Couple days after seeing it I decided to go back on a Sunday, just to check it out, thinking the dealership would be closed so I wouldn't be hassled. So I'm walking around the car, checking it out, and a salesman comes over. I guess the Dealership was open on a Sunday. He asks me if I want to test drive it. Couldn't hurt, right? So I take it for a spin. LOVE IT! Fit and finish, horsepower, looks... all one up my 350Z. Needless to say I went to just check out the car with no intention of buying it, and before I left the dealership that day I was the owner of a new 2010 370Z Roadster! Talk about an impulse buy. I live in the Vermont and its the dead of winter so I thought I could get a really good deal on the car (since no one is buying convertible sports cars in the winter). I got them down $5,000 below sticker price ($42,450) and got more than KBB value for my 350Z trade (which they really wanted) so I figured why not. Felt like a good deal to me.

I'm happy with my decision and excited to really see what this new baby can do in a couple months when the snow melts. The sad thing is that until then my new car is sitting in a storage garage as our winters are harsh in Vermont and I have a Ford Escape as my year round vehicle. All I can do now is watch Z videos on YouTube until then.

I have one question for you all... the one feature I am disappointed that the car didn't have on it is the Sport Package with the Syncro Rev Matching. The car had a 6 speed manual (which was a must for me) and at the time I wasn't too concerned that it didn't have the Syncro Rev Match, because I figured I can shift well enough and I was thinking it was more of a gimmick. After reading review after review and watching many video reviews of this car it seems the favorite feature they all mention is the Syncro Rev Matching! For you guys that have it (which seems like most 370Z owners do) what do you think? Is it a gimmick? Do you usually have yours on of off? Would you buy the car without it if you could do it again or is it a must have? I'm very curious to hear people's thoughts on this.

Thanks all!
