My only complain about the Z is Im having a hard time driving it slow .

I HATE that it just take for a few seconds to reach 60 to 100miles/hr then I had to slow down again to maintain the speed limit of 70miles.

Cruise control is such a bore.

I wish there's a autobahn over here.

Seats do suck, i was sitting my boss's porsche, and i loved how low and sporty the seats were.

Visibility is not a problem since i'm passing everyone anyways, panoramic side mirrors would be cool tho.

Clock gauge should have arms to match other gauges instead of numbers.

An analog clock would have looked classier

IMHO Nissan could learn something from Honda shifters.

Anyway, just my experience. Thanks for reading the post.
