And this situation on the 370z is much 'worse' than on the 350z.

I have no complaints. I knew about the road noise before i bought it (that's why my tires are filled with KY gel, to absorb the noise). It is a sports car, so forget about comfort (i had an 08 nismo model). Blind spots? what blind spots? I just switch lanes and whoever is next to me will get out unconditionally so I can overtake their lane. Trunk space? I always pack lightly. The clutch noise, I just removed the clutch. If the seat start to feel to hard on my butt, that is an indication that I need to shed some weight. For the paint (rock) chips, I decided not to drive it at all, I can't afford duct tape to cover rock chips anymore. I can go on all day long.
In all, I researched the vehicle before I pulled the trigger, so I knew what to expect (as mentioned before, not my 1st Z).
For those of you thinking about a new car, do the homework first and then If you think you can deal with it the way it comes then jump on it.
In reality I have one or maybe two complaints. Really, the nismo don't come with the premium sound package and my SES light comes on every 300 miles.

I just tracked my car Monday at Thunderhill, Willows, CA and I have and oil cooler (exactly like Modshack's build) It was on a Cold day ~50 degrees and not even after 15 mins in the first session the car not only crap out by putting it in a limp mode, it completely shut down and won't start up before oil temp even reached past 220 degrees. I had to tow the car all the way back home as I tried everything to start it up. Plugged a diagnostic tool in, no error code. The yellow service required light went on when it happened but afterwards when i try restarting the car it just kept spitting when I cranked the car. I spent the whole day dry cranking the car to air out the fuel from the flooded engine, no luck, the car didn't recover till 2 days later. So, I really don't know what my oil cooler did for me. Any advise? I've heard some people don't even get put into limp mode at 240 degrees. Astor me, I didn't even get a limp mode, all I got was an improper shut down. The left LCD started flickering and it was almost like Fast and Furious 2 when the skyline got shot with a Emp electric gun. =\

For me the things that are a little irritating are:

Blind spots
No steering wheel adjuster/ seat height....no...I refuse to use a cushion!
No postcode settings on Sat Nav

Apart from those minor details I LOVE my Zed :)

Tazicon 12-20-2012 12:08 PM

My only complaint is that I love driving the Z so much I already have 23k miles on it in the first year I owned it.

nmjaxx9 12-20-2012 01:08 PM

I try not to complain too much because sensitive 370z owners might take it to heart. :tup:

enkei2k 12-20-2012 03:07 PM

My major complaint is that we got ripped off by not having a rear wiper like the Z33 had. Yes international 370Z have rear wipers but USDM don't :(

Meh, overrated.

Just drive faster or do like I do and don't even look out the rear window. Pointless anyways. :p

:iagree: but the rear wiper on the 350Z is fugly. I definitely am glad the 370Z doesn't have one (purely cosmetic reasons, though).

Zero complaints - there are too many things I love about the car to start nitpicking the minor things that are bothersome to me.

My biggest complaint is the lack of "What Oil Should I Buy?" and "What Tires Should I Buy?" threads on this forum. :shakes head: :icon17:

I agree, but if I lived in NYC I'd probably decide it was worth it:roflpuke2:

Bucketlist2012 12-20-2012 04:38 PM

My complaint is that I don't drive it enough.

My other complaint is it is so much fun I have to force myself to drive legally on the streets...

And ya maybe they should have done something about the rear tire road noise they knew the 350Z had...

onzedge 12-20-2012 04:48 PM

My pants get tight when I drive the 370 in a spirited manner.

That, road noise compared to the 370z and the paint chipping in the front. That's it. Everything else is great.

Not to worry after a while you will conform to the seat, I had the same issue, now I don't, just have these funny lookin dents in my thighs. They could have put a in bit more padding. It was built for the Japanese people that are a bit more narrow than us,, thank you McDonalds!!! LOL
The paint, as in all cars, now is a water based system,, it is what it is.. My second set of tires, I went with the Bridgestone 760 sport, a bit quieter
And as far as you, it's not the height it's the width. I guy said to me one day Hey you have a 370 I said yeah how did you know,,, he said you have the same dents in your legs as I do.. LMAO merry Christmas Bluefiend

My Z/28 gets 6 to 8 miles a gallon without driving it hard...Driving hard it is gallons per mile...

My 370Z feels like a Prius to me as far as MPG...

ZForce 12-21-2012 08:47 PM

Not sure if it's been mentioned....hell, I may have mentioned it along time ago...old thread brought back to life. :tiphat:

If the tank has less than half a tank of gas. On a very hard right hand turn, (a highway on ramp) the engine will cut out.

There is a thread on this, but wanted to note again here, probably for the hundredth time though. :tup:

My List
 
I do love my but there are a few things . . .

Regarding problems, my hatch sticks in cold weather, it pops up but doesn't completely release, you have to press the button again. One of the cargo hold downs broke after 1 1/2 years and I wasn't even trying to bungee down a Buick, just my work bag.

For dislikes, there are a few . . .
Agree with the comments about the seats. I wish the bottom had more adjustment range and was slightly longer (I'm 5'10" - 170 lbs.). That said, drive an S2000 sometime, holy crap, talk about tight. The side bolsters will poke holes in ya!

I hate (I know, such a strong word) auto headlights so the fact that Nissan doesn't put the auto position at either end makes me crazy.

Even more, I hate (there I go again) the auto dash lights, please just give me a day/night button, I can handle it, really !

Car should have a telescoping steering column.

The gate for 5th and 6th gears could use some work. It is hard to skip 5th and not hit the reverse gate. Maybe it's the reverse gate that could use a tweak.

Still love my Z.

Complaint: I can't see the outside of my car when driving. So, I'm jealous of my fiance. Every day, when she leaves for work, she gets to see my car. And, every day, when she returns home, she gets to see my car. They're a hard find around here so I don't get the opportunity to see them on the road as much as she does.

I agree. My complaint is that I cannot see my car while driving. I see maybe 1 370Z every 2 weeks, if that.

I guess I could drive by a large series of shop windows at night when the interior lights are out, or a series of mirrored shop windows.

Zoren 370 12-23-2012 05:06 PM

My only complain about the Z is Im having a hard time driving it slow .

I HATE that it just take for a few seconds to reach 60 to 100miles/hr then I had to slow down again to maintain the speed limit of 70miles.

Cruise control is such a bore.:shakes head:

I wish there's a autobahn over here.

scope22 12-23-2012 09:07 PM

Seats do suck, i was sitting my boss's porsche, and i loved how low and sporty the seats were.

Visibility is not a problem since i'm passing everyone anyways, panoramic side mirrors would be cool tho.

Clock gauge should have arms to match other gauges instead of numbers.
