370z Complaints so far?

BennytheBlade · 06-26-2011, 09:28 AM

Paint is sh!t.

The only complaint I have.

Everything else has been as good or better than I expected out of a sports car.

Just one thing... Remote start! My STS has it and I love it, when it's 115 outside getting AC started and the car cooled down... Oh, so nice.

For some reason every time I down shift and step on the right pedal everything in my rearview mirror gets smaller.

BrianMSmith · 06-26-2011, 04:08 PM

I have to stop driving it.

Bose stereo,, hmm enough watts for a guy my age, at 60, I grew up with great R/R music.
Now a backup camera,, are you kidding me it's a sports car not your mom's SUV, if you need a back up cam maybe you should by a Prius,,, I hate the prius, it's the Cockroach of the road,, they are everywhere... If you drive fast enough there are no blind spots,,

If you hold down the unlock button it will open your windows,,, does it even on the 350

The 2010 have the heated mirros and seats

You guys made my day. I am 50 and was feeling old until now. Thanks!

The 2010 have the TPMS and the Guages are supposed to be retro to the 240z era. I don't like the water temp gauge, there are no blind spots in a 370 ,,, if you are going fast enough..

Since this thread has been revived it seems and since it's 24 pages long (forgive me ahead of time). Does the 370z have any common issues that the 350z and G35 had such as:
1. oil consumption issues - I thought it was said that maybe 09 did but not anything newer...just wanted to confirm.

2. negative camber - so one goes through tires like no one's business. I drive about 18k miles a year on my G and I go through tires it seems like 16mo or 22-24k miles.

3. How is the transmission, I know my G had the transmission replaced by the power train warr since the sychros went bad...so I was wondering if the 370z had the same or similar issues with their trans.

4. did they add a telescoping steering wheel in the later years?

thanks in advance, I'm just wondering if I moved onto a 370z; would I have the same concerns as I did/have in my G35.

Just had mine replaced in a 2010 Z,, 5th gear synchro issues. The new tranny,,hmmm, the shifter sometimes vibrates visibly on a harder deceleration,,also in 5th,.. all with only 30,000 and I don't beat on the car... I use Mobil one since the breakin,,I get about 1000 miles before a qt is due,,..
