Still cold in Canada...but picked up my Roadster yesterday anyway!

Crazycan · 03-27-2011, 10:56 AM

Well, was in the negative degrees yesterday, but picked up my 2010 370z roadster anyhow. The roads were clear and dry, that was the main thing!

I traded a 2007 350z for the 2010, dealer demo with 4,500 km. So far I am very impressed, the technical changes are fantastic and the engine as always rocks....maybe the exhaust tone is a little less thumpy than the 350....but all in all glad I did the trade!

Bring on the warm weather!

welcome! Where in canada are you located?

Xan · 03-27-2011, 11:14 AM

Welcome and congrats! Be careful with the low temps, those tires are like hockey pucks when cold.

And I agree on the exhaust, that's why I called FI right after I picked up the car..

Congrats to another fellow cannuck roadster owner.
Xan is right about those tires and cold weather. i noticed my VDC light flickering a lot on spirited driving since I took out my car from early March.
You will find that with the warm air blowing up the seats you can drive open top on cold sunny days! ... Sweet!

I'm in Barrie Ontario....-4 today, but the sun is out so a little top up driving later on!

Those seats are an amazing upgrade to the slippery leather in the 350. The 350 was a Florida car with frost white interior, which was great in the summer....but I prefer the new seats and the ventilation will come in handy.

Will do....but probably can't beat Dixon's!

It's not done yet, but hopefully soon!!

Matrix · 03-27-2011, 11:53 PM

Congrats. Like you I'm Canadian and I picked mine up before spring is really here. I did get a chance for one day with the top down when the temp got above 50 degrees. Enjoy your new ride.

djpathfinder · 03-28-2011, 12:01 AM

Congrats on your new car! It's still cold in Edmonton too. Supposed to warm up a bit mid-week. Lots of potholes here to deal with. Hope to be able to take her out by end of April.
