Yup, 4 and out. I only need speech to complete my CCAF but I never got around to take it to finish off my GE.

D'oh, not going to get it in time before you separate?

Can you grab a picture of this?

I've only got little things to complain about at this point:

-no defroster on the side mirrors
-auto lock doors once the car starts moving
-blind spots are worse than on the 350z

Sure can, tonight. Stuck at work right now :(

I feel you. :(
Just wondering about this as I am very tall and do not remember this when test driving, not going to be a deal break I assume though.

Oh, hardly - more just, I wish it didnt stick out so much. We wear big boots in the mil, so I just have to be particularly careful not to nick it when getting out...

I have navi/touring and you can choose to shut this funtion off, which I did.

You can turn this off without touring as well, it's described in the manual. If I remember correctly you have to start the car or turn on accessories and within 30 seconds hit and hold the door lock button in a certain direction.

why would you turn it off? just curious its just a safety feature so the doors are not opened while the vehicle is in motion.

Grievance: Cannot open trunk with Z running; whether in Park or Neutral. You have to turn-off the car.
Accolade: Love the scale of the 370Z.

duhhhh.... so he can ghost ride the whip!

Here ya go, 2 angles:

Enjoy my hairy legs - I was off to do some PT :-p

Sexy legs. ;)
Oh wait, thanks for the pictures als...nice le...damn it. Plus rep for you.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I hated the sound of the doors locking each time I went anywhere. I have been driving since 1992 and I've never been in a situation either as driver or passenger where the door suddenly came open. In fact if my car were to ever become submerged in an accident I'd much rather have the doors unlocked than locked.

Electrical components continue to work for several minutes in a submerged car.( saw it on TV)

I prefer mine locked because if someone were to try to carjack me, it might give me 2 extra seconds to draw my gun. But that's just me. ;)

Well if the was damaged in an accident who's to say whether everything will work properly or not..? That aside having to fumble for the locks, and then opening the doors is an extra step I wouldn't want to deal with. BTW this sort of accident occured recently and two of four people were killed when they were unable to exit the car.

If I lived in a highly trafficked urban area I would do the same.

Wait, so the doors auto lock but don't open when u pull the handle? My car auto locks but all I have to do is pull the door handle and it opens (no need to press the unlock button and then open the door). I agree, I think the auto lock features is to prevent "other" people from getting into the car, rather than the passenger and driver opening it accidentally.

Correct. You have to shut the car down, to automatically unlock the doors. I found this a bit irritating when I took my buddys girl for a spin yesterday - went to drop her off, pulled the E-brake...and she cant get out lol. IMHO, if the car's at 0, and the E-brake is pulled in the stick, those doors should be unlocked.

I have seen those before, but I like to keep it simple. Pull handle, exit car.

all these complaints can be solved with 2 words... weight loss!
they were more in line with light weight and balance than comfort items

All of those things combined don't weigh 10lbs. They don't have to be standard, but they should be an option on a $40k car.

I can't believe so many folks complained about the rear wiper missing on the 370... it was absolutely terrible looking on the 350, ruins the lines of the 350 completely... actually that was one of the reasons why I never bought a 350, the wiper just ruined the look for me - I am so happy to see it gone for the 370 ...

I think the mirrors should be heated, although I can't say it would annoy me as much as some of the other users seem to be...

Had this thread not been named "370z Complaints so far?" then those reading it and responding might do so in a different light. It might have fared better being named "370z Issues so far?" :eekdance:

I'm still really pissed off about the oil temp issues, especially since Nissan knows about it (Feb C&D). I called Nissan NA to complain and to try to get the oil and diff cooler put on. If anyone else has experience rising oil temps pushing 300 and rev restrictions make a stink this is BS>

Any actual issues that has not been resolved?
 

not to hijack this thread, are there any real serious concerns with the drivetrain, tranny, or something serious...all these issues noted are mere tadbits that come with any vehicle. If you know of a perfect vehicle, then you should of bought that instead.

300 under normal driving?

I think the only real serious issue is the oil temp. While it's been "proven" that the temp is "okay" during normal driving, there's no way of really knowing how that'll hold up as time goes by. The bad part is that Nissan knows about it, but is not doing anything to address it.

Besides that, as of now, there's no serious mechanical problems yet, but a trend with the base model seats moving during hard driving has come up.

The only complaints you guys have is probably people moving so slow from looking at your cars!
Jackasses!

The current colors suck, I wish they offered it in lime...........:driving:

***Blindspots***
This would have been a perfect car to implement side-view cameras instead of mirrors. Nissan would also have gotten incredible publicity for having done so.

***Plastic Wrapping***
I keep finding little bits of plastic in the window and door frames that must have been protective door coverings when it was sent to the dealer. They are annoyingly difficult to remove.

***Fuel Gauge***
As already mentioned, looks dumb and loses some sophistication that the car otherwise has. Nobody what's a 'space car' with bars of lights and thats the feeling I get from it.

***Bluetooth Phonebook***
Why can't Nissan implement a system that downloads your whole phone book to the car? My 2007 Audi A4 had a speed dial phone book but also downloaded the entire phonebook so I could scroll through it on the car's computer to make a hands free call to anyone. On the Z, if they aren't manually programmed into the car, you have to pick up the phone to dial.

***Computer Display***
Having to scroll through all the information is tedious. Nissan could easily implement a design that shows multiple values at once. For example, why can't the car's range and the outside temperature show up together? There's no need to make them 'one at a time' with HUGE digits/letters.

Overall, there are some little things missing. A number of people have griped that a $38k car should have them included. However, my feeling is $38k gets you a AMAZING performer at an awesome value. Start adding in all the little extras and you have yourself an Infinity G37 for $47k.

I'm sure if it were offered in lime green your signature would be different, no?;)

Small issues
 

My '70 Triumph TR6 has the following problems as a sports car:
Heated side mirrors - Huh?
Climate control - engine heat
Gas mileage - depends on how much the carbs leak
Chassis lubication - engine oil leaks at speed
Oil leaks while parked - free garage floor protectorant
intermittant wipers - free with Lucas electrics
Auto light dimming - free with Lucas electrics
Road noise - you've got to be kidding
engine overheating - in Texas you have to be joking
Fun to drive - what a hoot!

370Z driving experience - unreal, ordered mine - a PG, persimmon,sport,6m

OK, Ive got one - forgive me if its mentioned already.

The gauge pods on the dash - the little lips on the top? They squeak a lot it seems when I hit bumps. It took me a while just to figure out what the squeak was, until I pressed one, and just barely touching it produced the same, irritating squeak! Anyone else got this?

Oh yeah, I think I have the "moving seat in spirited driving" problem, too :(

Not here, but the passenger's side taillight squeaks where it meets the rear bumper fascia as it is moved. I noticed this when I was washing the car.

You know why the British drink warm beer? Lucas makes their refrigerators :icon17:

John

I wouldn't make fun of Lucas - "the prince of darkness"
