370z Complaints so far?

***Blindspots***
This would have been a perfect car to implement side-view cameras instead of mirrors. Nissan would also have gotten incredible publicity for having done so.

***Plastic Wrapping***
I keep finding little bits of plastic in the window and door frames that must have been protective door coverings when it was sent to the dealer. They are annoyingly difficult to remove.

***Fuel Gauge***
As already mentioned, looks dumb and loses some sophistication that the car otherwise has. Nobody what's a 'space car' with bars of lights and thats the feeling I get from it.

***Bluetooth Phonebook***
Why can't Nissan implement a system that downloads your whole phone book to the car? My 2007 Audi A4 had a speed dial phone book but also downloaded the entire phonebook so I could scroll through it on the car's computer to make a hands free call to anyone. On the Z, if they aren't manually programmed into the car, you have to pick up the phone to dial.

***Computer Display***
Having to scroll through all the information is tedious. Nissan could easily implement a design that shows multiple values at once. For example, why can't the car's range and the outside temperature show up together? There's no need to make them 'one at a time' with HUGE digits/letters.

Overall, there are some little things missing. A number of people have griped that a $38k car should have them included. However, my feeling is $38k gets you a AMAZING performer at an awesome value. Start adding in all the little extras and you have yourself an Infinity G37 for $47k.
