Who loves/hates their Z?

kuruzero · 06-19-2015, 08:10 PM

I love my Z too but honestly if there's anywhere I'd expect heavy praise and heavy criticisms it'd be a car forum dedicated to the platform... Considering the cost of these cars, imo most of the complaints on this forum are constructive criticism for Nissan as more threads are of the extremely valid than petty whining complaints.

There's minor issues like the one OP mentioned but theres also several long lasting issues that Nissan just seems to refuse to fix. Not liking aspects of your car doesnt mean you dislike it as a whole. I also disagree that the public's opinions dont matter. Especially for the Z which isnt selling remotely as well as Nissan wanted it to. If fixing a major public gripe will lead to more sales and better consumer reviews, it's more likely to get fixed. Nissan isnt going to go out of their way to spend more money and quickly fix issues unless theres a segment of owners holding their feet to the fire via press and public perception. Will they ignore alot of it? Sure. But some of it will also cause positive changes for future models.
