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.

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

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.

LOL. Car doesn't go fast enough for the water to fly off when I'm trying to park my car though.

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...

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

But at least you get 'Smiles per gallon' to compensate

I'm going to create a little sticker and put that over the gauge instead.

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...
