370z Complaints so far?

I wish the wheel wells were better insulated. I don't mind tire noise at all, but the sound of rocks and other debris getting kicked up into the car can be distracting.

I totally agree. Sometimes it sounds like the car is being ripped apart by rocks and stones, which I find troubling. Even my Altima Coupe had padding in the wheel well.

My biggest complaints are:

No heated side view mirrors
Blind spot
plastic kick plate
creaking or rattling in my driver's side door
Rear windshield wiper would have been nice
Inside release lever for gas tank door

That said, I LOVE THIS CAR! I haven't once regretted buying it. I've had it just about a month and think it's great!

My thoughts when looking at your list of "biggest complaints" through the eyes of a past 350 owner.

No heated side view mirrors:

Was a waste of money since the car is put away for the winter in the cold weather states. I believe Nissan knew this a saved a couple of bucks and gave us power seats on both sides and some other goodies.

Blind spot:

If you had a 350 before you purchased the 370, you knew in advance what you were getting into. We were blind as bats in it also. We learned to position the car.

plastic kick plate:

Who cares?

creaking or rattling in my driver's side door:

Make your dealer correct it..........

Rear windshield wiper would have been nice:

Unless you're stopped or moving very slowly you didn't need it on the 350. Personally I never used mine on my 350. See last sentence of no heated mirrors

Inside release lever for gas tank door:

The inside button was a pain in the butt on the 350. 80% time it did not work and you had to keep pushing it several times until it decided to open. This new system is much better.

Are the biggest issues right now:

- incorrect lugnuts (G37 instead of 370z used by dealerships)
- Tire Pressure much too high at purchase
- Seats not securely attached (movement while driving)
- oil overheating during track driving

?

You can't be serious with that response. The car isn't intended to be driven in the winter or in the city on rainy days?

Sorry I do not understand your response to my response? I stated "put away for the winter" etc in my response..........

You do realize that it doesn't have to be winter for your mirrors to be fogged over (condensation) right? I drove my car every day since I got it January 8th except when the roads were covered in pea gravel to prevent a bunch of rock chips. So I'm not sure where you would get the idea that these cars will be in storage all winter.
