370z Complaints so far?

enkei2k · 12-20-2012, 03:07 PM

My major complaint is that we got ripped off by not having a rear wiper like the Z33 had. Yes international 370Z have rear wipers but USDM don't

Meh, overrated.

Just drive faster or do like I do and don't even look out the rear window. Pointless anyways.

but the rear wiper on the 350Z is fugly. I definitely am glad the 370Z doesn't have one (purely cosmetic reasons, though).

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.

After four years and new hatch springs, my hatch also continues to require the double take as soon as the weather cools. Has anyone found a solution to this annoyance?

Put some coins in the bottom of the rubber boot of the hatch spring. Very easy job. At least one DIY on this site.

Edit: And make sure the seal and the mating surface are clean and not sticking.

This will hopefully help a bit
DIY: Weight reduction/Fix hatch not opening issue

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