370z Complaints so far?

AndreZ Cadena,

There is a group of buyers that Nissan has managed to recapture with the advent of the 370Z; these buyers want the Z's power, when needed, and prefer the extra amenities to enjoy the Z for everyday driving. In Japan the Fairlady Z (Z34) already has most of the options Pushing Tin is requesting.

The manual transmission shifts smooth as silk, haven't had any problems or vibrations whatsoever. Perhaps I'm just used to the drive by wire throttle having owned a G35.

Blind spot was weird at first but you get used to it quick.

Road noise is loud at highway speeds but doesn't bother me much.

I think oil temp is going to be my main concern. It got to over 220 on a 32F degree day when in traffic, doesn't give me much hope for a warm day. Apparently they designed the oil to be cooled by the water circulating through the engine block but I don't think it's going to be enough. An after market oil cooler may be necessary if your going to do track days.

The engine and handling however make me forget about it's minor faults.

Thank you, I know for a fact that many car companies regularly read the various message boards to see how their cars are being received and what people like and dislike about them. I love my car but it's not perfect.
