New Owner - My likes and dislikes

If you had also mentioned the rather "harsh" engine noise as the revs climb, you would have hit all the gripes that virtually all of the car mags and reviews complain about the Z. I knew all of those things going in. It's a sports car. I don't expect it to be equipped like a GT. The thing, IMHO, that sunk the Z and resulted in "the lost years", (1997-2002) was their march from true sports car (240Z) to bloated, overweight GT luxo-cruiser (Z32 - the 300ZX). 2+2!? Are you kidding me? In the 370Z, we have the return of an actual sports car. Bravo! I'll reserve my purchase of a Cayman S for the day that Nissan announces a 370Z 2+2 version. Then I'll know that Nissan has lost their way again.
