370z Complaints so far?

frost · 01-26-2009, 07:34 PM

I'm really trying to hold out until the 2010 model arrives, and threads like this help. I'd like to think they will fix at least some of these problems. Considering so many mags complained about the fuel gauge, I peg that for something that will be changed.

I can't wait that long. I'd rather buy a new one now and trade it in when the new models come out. I need a new car ASAP! So this is what I'm doing!

Ditto!

Now for my little rant.

Tougher crash standards and other regulations add weight to the current vehicles so the consumers tells Nissan that we want more for our money and a lighter car. Nissan says ok consumer here is your better and lighter 370Z for just about the same money. Consumer says, hey Nissan, what happened to all of the unnecessary stuff that made the car heavier than the out going model and more disconnected from the road. Nissan says we left it all in the scale tipping G37 for all to marvel.

A backup camera isn't useful unless they also install sensors to tell you how many feet you are from hitting something..

Only Luxury car's have these sensors. You'll be hard pressed to find that in a sports car.

I wouldn't trust judging distance with just a picture.

Do what I do.. don't parallel park, and don't backup, lmao. ;-)

Most annoying is nose smear on windows from people trying to look at the interior.

This "hold-out until next year's car" is just endless. I have learned to buy what you want as soon as possible and deal with the minor issues it might have. Every year, there will be something better.

Nissan has a habit of adding little features and/or fixing issues with their cars every year.

There are only a very few exceptions when "holding out" might be logical (ie. Major mechanical or electrical problems). But that doesn't seem to be the case for the 370Z as of now.

It's like buying a new computer.
