I would also like if nissan wouldn't had made the door handle so bulky and big. It shouldn't stick out and should blend in with the door (aero dynamics) and it shouldn't effect it but it's better than sticking out like the way it is.
|
The dealer told me that my HOMELINK is bad going to replace with a new one. This shouldn't have happened BUT it free. also called the 800 number and told them what happened.

Sat radio capability in the base model. Having to option leather seats to be able to listen to digital quality radio is the kind of crap that you'ld expect from GM.....:gtfo2:
The oil temp guage should be a pressure guage with a digital temp read out under the needle. Oil pressure shouldn't be a idiot light in that contraption on the left......:shakes head: When they were figuring how to save $2 they should have given the aluminum peddles to the sport pkg, not the 'touring'. They got it backwards....:icon14: |
1) It needs a glove box that can at least fit the manual. I'm usually not picky about these sort of things, but come on...
2) Deeper trunk. The trunk is z pretty good size, but the depth is a serious problem for me. As far as the touring model is concerned, the subs seem to take up a little more space, so I'm wondering if it's better in the base model? Just a couple more inches deep would have made the trunk perfect, imo. |

wow... I dont think any of these are big issues. ITS A SPORTS CAR! The issues I see as an enthusiast, is the oil temp problem, AND THATS IT! this car is very well put toghether, and most people not looking for a Bentley GT would enjoy it. |
AndreZ Cadena,
There is a group of buyers that Nissan has managed to recapture with the advent of the 370Z; these buyers want the Z's power, when needed, and prefer the extra amenities to enjoy the Z for everyday driving. In Japan the Fairlady Z (Z34) already has most of the options Pushing Tin is requesting. |
The manual transmission shifts smooth as silk, haven't had any problems or vibrations whatsoever. Perhaps I'm just used to the drive by wire throttle having owned a G35.
Blind spot was weird at first but you get used to it quick. Road noise is loud at highway speeds but doesn't bother me much. I think oil temp is going to be my main concern. It got to over 220 on a 32F degree day when in traffic, doesn't give me much hope for a warm day. Apparently they designed the oil to be cooled by the water circulating through the engine block but I don't think it's going to be enough. An after market oil cooler may be necessary if your going to do track days. The engine and handling however make me forget about it's minor faults. |

*Self dimming memory mirrors *Heated mirrors *Sonar park assist *Homelink *Headlight cleaners *Heated memory seats with ventilation *Ipod/USB adaptor *Cornering headlights There are more, but you get the idea. There is no reason our car can't have many of the same options if people want them. Further some of the complaints I have are safety and not convenience related. |

Thank you, I know for a fact that many car companies regularly read the various message boards to see how their cars are being received and what people like and dislike about them. I love my car but it's not perfect. |

You had a new 370 IN A CAR WASH WITH BRISTLES :wtf2: |
^ naw, my 350. Who cares about that beater anymore :D j/k
|
I bought this Z car ( my first ) for what it is today. The reviews are outstanding, the performance numbers are fantastic, the styling is FUN.
I didn't much like the 350 or earlier models, matter of fact NEVER, ever consider a Japanese car at all, my first also. If you wanted the selection or the wish list of items to build your car, then you should have stopped by the BMW dealership, they have a laundry list of add on's. You can drive up the price of your car till your heart is content. I like this 370Z just as it sits......nothing more needed....well maybe some HFC's, but that's it. |
355890...nicely put!
|
I wish the wheel wells were better insulated. I don't mind tire noise at all, but the sound of rocks and other debris getting kicked up into the car can be distracting.

haha.. a lot of these responses are so whiney.
- Blind spots.. ok I can see where the blind spots for lane changes is an issue AT FIRST. But after driving it for more than a week, it shouldn't be such a big deal anymore. Do like you're actually supposed to and turn your head while changing lanes. You do remember drivers ed right? - Wheel well noise? You should have gotten the Volvo Mr. Mom. - Rear windshield wiper? That's ALMOST as gay as having those little headlight wipers. - The gas gauge. True it doesn't really jive with the styling of the rest of the dash but after awhile (like after 30 seconds of initial purchase or test drive) it really isn't an issue. - The fuel door and lack of 'in-cabin' release mechanism. Oh c'mon.. frankly I'm surprised that you're not complaining about lack of a key for the ignition. Complaints..? Yeah I've got complaints. I think ppl that wanted a Volvo shouldn't have purchased a Z! |
^^
Agreed. In addition, I don't mind the fuel gauge at all and I'm quite surprised how much negative feedback it's receiving. |
People just don't like change for the sake of change (even if it might be better). The fuel cage and water temp are fine by me. I like how the little info center auto switches over to range when you get low on fuel and flashes at you until you press the enter button.

KillerBee370,
Life is a matter of one's perspective. I still drive around with people who see a yellow car, even an a exotic, and say, "Boy, he must have gotten a great deal on that one!" ;) If I recall Pushing Tin resides in Oregon, which is not a self-serve gas State, he is probably tired of explaining how to open the fuel lid to the attendant versus simply having a means of popping it open where the attendant can see they it is open. Although I would not have need for rear window wiper those who live in areas of inclement weather (and I can definitely see having one in Japan) value such a wiper. Northwest States have pissy rain, that is like a constant heavy dew; this type of rain coats a window versus shedding. |

You've got about 40 miles of highway range left when it kicks over. |

SoCal is exactly right. Here in Oregon we are too retarded to pump our own gas. So we have to hire people even more retarded to do it for us. In my other cars you either open the fuel door from the outside, or you pop it from inside. Now I have neither option which means I have to get out every time and show the gas clown how to open it. As I already stated in another reply, the topic of this thread is (370Z complaints so far.) I did not start the thread but since somebody else is interested, or may be thinking about buying the car they want to know what people in the real world like/dislike about the car. I have owned more expensive cars than my Z and I had complaints about them too. |

It would shed moisture just like any other part of the car. You can wax just about anything. I do it for coated wheels all the time and you just hose the brake dust off. |
It works great for wheels, might not work great for glass though. Although I'm sure it would repel water it's probably not going to be perfectly clear.

Interesting. I'll have to try it out.
|
I got one. Theres an edge on the end closest to the hinge on the inside that sticks out, on the door. When you're pulling your leg in to get out, if you're tall at all or wearing boots (Im in the military), its VERY easy to hit that damned edge. I foresee it wearing down fast :(

Well I'm just saying the 328 for instance offered more bang for its buck compared to the c300 |
