Prospective 370Z owner - Coming from an STI

ShutokuZ · 10-24-2012, 04:09 PM

Man, that Scooby is cleeeean! I just stepped out of a Evo IX and into a 13 370z with sports package. I loved my Evo (had for 4 years), but I too got tired of it. The only two things I miss about it compared to the Z, are the seats and the razor sharp handling and steering response. I could sneeze, and the car would shoot over two lanes, just from the reaction! lol
The Z is far above all other aspects of the car though. Smooth linear power, good steering wheel feedback, great connection to the road, awesome styling, nice interior, ect...... All in all, a great car for the price!

Thanks!
I drove an Evo MR and GSR and they were alright as well. Fun because of boost but that's about it for me. The handling part was a plus, but it's not a determining factor for me.
The STI is fun because of the same reason. I regret not giving the 370z more of a chance before.

The interior of the 370z is far more superior than the STI - the alcantara pieces, the overall fit and finish is great. I love that.

I guess my biggest concern is getting a 2009 370z as opposed to the 2012. Were there any big changes? Anything that I should look for or be concerned about with "older" Nissans? I know only about Honda's and Subaru's haha

Welcome! that is a clean Subie, the 2012 have oil coolers, but if you are planning to track the OEM oil cooler will need to be replaced. Just browse around make friends and you will learn more about 370z then you ever knew!!
