I am disappointed that a $40k car has water in the tail lamps and an annoying rattle. My last few cars (Honda, Lexus) did not have these problems over several years. It will get fixed under warranty of course, but with only 2k miles it's frustrating.

i agree 100%. My s2k which i beat the living crap out of everyday AND at the track laughs everything off and asks for more. This car by far has been the most reliable sports car let alone any car i've ever owned. All you have to do is change the oil and it will last forever. Nissan is not known for their reliability and build quality....but still after boasting about how well this car is built over the 350 made me feel good...but we will have to see a little longer.

S2000 is a Honda, and I say that as a compliment. They know how to build reliable cars. Nissan is good at engineering, need to get their fit/finish and reliability up to Honda and Toyota levels. Just my opinion, no flames please. I do love my 370!

Technically it is a $30,000 vehicle.

what? you mean i paid 40k for a 30k car? i dont think so. YOU might have bought a 30k 370z, but not all of us. i except the quality to follow the price of the car.

let me guess, a lancer evo is really just a 14,000 vehicle lol

Performance is the same on the Z no matter if you paid 30 or 40. My point is that you get alot of car for not much money.

BMW is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in that direction.

LMAO.

Really? It's kind of strange, my sticker says $41,415. I bought it in January. So while you may "technically" have a $30k vehicle, I in fact do have a $40k vehicle.

It is a $30K Vehicle (MSRP), You just paid for $11,415 worth of "stuff"...

So if I paid $50k for a platinum Ford F150, it's still just a $25k vehicle because that's what I can get a bare bones base V8 for? Sorry that math doesn't add up. MSRP is MSRP.

This is how I see it, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and hey its their money to do what they want.

I got my base with sport package for right at $32,000 ........... I will add a very nice aftermarket stereo for about $3,000 and be way ahead of the game. To each his own though, some prefer "turnkey" out the door

I dont have one yet, but my point is you can get the base model with sport package which is really what this car is all about IMHO for a little over 30. I would never call this a $40,000 vehicle no matter how much I paid. It just isnt worth that IMHO. To each his own I guess.
