370z Complaints so far?

Educ8r, the TPMS comes standard with the 370Z.

At least that was what I noticed in the specs. Can anyone elaborate?

Its a passive system that illuminates a light when a tire gets below a preset point as opposed to an active system that displays the exact pressures at all times.

No aluminum pedals on base models, even with the sports package. Oh but it does have aluminum footrest pedal. Although it looks like cr*p because the rest are black rubber.$33k for this car, really, unbelievable Nissan! Someone got CHEAP and started cutting corners. Again.....CHEAP! Even honda civics Si's, maybe even those scion's and other cars that cost alot less come with aluminum pedals. I thought it would of been standard for a "sport car" and others like it. I added the factory aluminum pedals to my 350z base model. I laughed installing them. They were the same thing as the rubber ones, but had aluminum on top of the rubber. Now the gas pedal was actually fully aluminum though. I don't think it would cost Nissan much money to just add these to every 370Z. Sorry for the rant; it just bothers me.

Also, yes the lack of interior manual gas and trunk release button or latch is a little strange. The car is great, really is. Love it more and more every day. But some of the little simple things it is lacking just make me shake my head. It wouldn't make me not buy the car though. =o~

Sorry forgot about one thing. No telescoping steering wheel is a little disappointing also. Even the lowest of the Altima's have tilt AND telescoping steering wheel. Car is comfy without it, but it would of been a nice touch.

You can hear a lot of road noise.

probably the most useful of the "electric gizmos" in the 350Z. I measured mine against a good gauge and they were within 1 psi on all wheels. Sad to see it go.

I agree!

Chupacabra · 01-26-2009, 02:29 PM

yes, because mine does not have any

brisk · 01-26-2009, 02:37 PM

Chupacabra · 01-26-2009, 02:42 PM

This is especially true for those of us who are "vertically challenged" (5'5").

It's there to put devices like your media player in. There's the A/V connections and iPod interface down there. You can plug all that stuff in and have it run off the car power instead it's own battery. Then you can close the center console without a problem. It's not meant to be used for devices to charge outside the center console. That's what the second 12V socket is for.

It's there for a good reason. I use it in the M35 all the time.

Chupacabra · 01-26-2009, 04:05 PM

I have no a/V on mine, just the 12v port. does the ipod adapter come as an option on the touring?

Crash · 01-26-2009, 04:25 PM

The iPod interface is only there if you got the Navi option. But either way, that 12V port is always in there. It's not a bad place to put your phone if you have your bluetooth setup.
