It doesn't recline to bed status.
The clock doesn't have an alarm qnd snooze button.

I don't have intelligent cruise. You know how important that is in a pure sports car.

Hey -- Mr. ZForce -- Are you bringing both 370's this Saturday? You should. We can take some group photos.

ZForce · 11-10-2011, 05:34 PM

You can fool some of the people some of the time. But you cannot fool all the people all the time.

ZForce · 11-10-2011, 06:47 PM

We will see, they are both very filthy from the rain.

dirtrat · 11-12-2011, 12:02 AM

My complaints so far:

1. Blind spot, however I've pretty much gotten used to this.

2. Driver side not enough leg room.

3. Passenger side has even less leg room than driver

4. Bose stereo could be much improved.

5. Automatic transmission sometimes shifts very roughly especially when braking quickly.

6. Ocassional acceleration delay

7. Thin paint

I can overlook most of these complaints because I love the looks of my car so much. I will be selling this in two years though and buying something bigger and with more leg room.

tranceformer · 11-12-2011, 01:07 AM

blindspots are terrible.

side mirrors are huge

and that stupid rear diff bushing, might as well be made of eggshells.

New complaint I just found out today. It isn't very good in soft sand. I nearly got stuck this evening after pulling off to the side of the road for a while. Was doing some shooting with some friends and when we left, I very nearly had to get pulled onto the road. Fortunately I saved face and got it onto the road w/o digging any trenches in the sand

bleufiend · 11-12-2011, 09:16 AM

1. Road noise on long drives. Yadda Yadda I know some will tell me to quit complaining, look the 350z was quiet compared to the 370z, it's a minor annoyance to me.

2. The paint is thin as hell. Every two weeks I find a new chip somewhere on the front of the car. It's not like I follow dump trucks every where I go, the paint is just not good quality.

My complaints so far: 1. People complaining about the 370

Sorry folks, I like my car. I have had zero issues with it in the almost three years I've owned it. I put up with all the 370 bashing that goes on. In fact most of the time, I get a good chuckle with all the serious ailments this car seems to have. If one paid attention to all the complaints, you'd get the idea that the 370 is the worse vehicle ever built.

Flame away, but I love my 370. (Or rep away if you agree.)

dirtrat · 11-12-2011, 01:41 PM

But the people that are complaining about the car OWN the car! After all this is a thread about the complaints of the car. Are you saying everyone should be quite and only listen to you? I've never found the perfect car and I'm sure I will have some complaints no matter what car I own. I'm not bashing you but this is a ridicoulus post. BTW I don't even beleive you that you have ZERO complaints unless you are just a complete 370Z Fanboi. I love my Z but it isn't perfect by any stretch.

Sorry if I offended you. This thread is not worth the effort.

You're complaints are 0 because you know what your car was built for. You also bought the car for its attributes as a pure sports car. You didn't buy this sports car to be like your old M3, or your old S2000, porsche cayman, corvette camaro or mustang. You bought the Z out of love for the car.
NOT EXCLUSIVITY or being the cool guy on the block with something different. You knew what you got into when you bought the Z. 75% of our forum bought this car for reasons that are not condusive to what the cars purpose is built for.

My only issue was lack of an oil cooler "ONLY" because this is a "PROPER" sports car and a heating issue in any capacity should not exist. Even with that issue, my activism toward it was a selfless act because I "MYSELF" will put my own in fitting of a car that will soon be a approx 550hp turbocharged car. Most of the forum doesn't care anyway so "why break a sweat???"

But the lack of caring about the oil cooler but complaining about stereo's, toggles, trunk switches or lack there of, intell cruise control or lack there of, power folding mirrors and other minor bullsh1t that doesn't affect this cars overall performance is futile imho.
This is why there's an aftermarket. Modifications arel limitless. Me personally, I feel every vswitch and every light is perfect. I think Nissan put every gauge in the perfect position and is perfectly readable.
So in the long run if you have a lot of little quips about the ergonomics of this vehicle. YOU DID NOT MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR TEST DRIVE. You bought this car on pure emotion. And I can think of one car that has more in features than the Z at a much lower price. The gencoupe. One at a slightly higher price. The bimmer 1 series and another that will give you 90% of its performance and attributes while doubling the feature list. The infiniti G37:
I owned 2 G's and with aftermarket wider wheels and suspension setup. It rides almost exactly like a Z. You can get about 1.09g easily out of a modded g on the items mentioned. There controls are slightly better placed and more intuitive. Seats can go into better angles for more head and legroom, stereo is an 11 speaker bose system that kicks ***. Intell cruise is an option, your seats will have lumbar support on the sport model for long trips. 12 way power memory seats give u that perfect position. WoW! All that in a G??? Yeah and so much more! Its a proper sports car and gives you two extra seats.

This is why Nissan makes 2 sport coupes. The Z... sh1t if I were NISSAN nav wouldn't even be an option. It would stop at touring and I would invest the extra 2k into a DCT option over the extremely good but needing of modification slushbox.

So in reality, the Z offers more than necessary already. And no car is built as solidly in the price range unless ur buying a miata based on its doors. Then your saving about $10k.

Alchemy · 11-12-2011, 03:35 PM

Yeah, I love my Z. I dont really have any complaints. I am starting to get a slight, occasional grind into 3rd and 5th which is a prob but oh well. Itll get fixed one way or another. I grin ear to ear EVERY second Im in it. The blind spot can be a royal PIA sometimes though. Would have loved an oil cooler from the factory too. All small stuff, minus the trans issue. If I had too I would buy the car all over again. Im kinda biased though, I have a huge hard on for Z cars
