im not going to lie the SRT8 was kick A$$!!!

however the GAS consumption was not

that 6.1 at that weight i literally was spending 100$ every three days

i thought to myself i love to just take my car out and go cruising and i cant at this rate...

plus im not going to drive like a kitten
im going to push hard so when eveyone was telling me to go easy on the throttle i thought..." okay...then whats the point of paying 700$ a month to go easy on the throttle...i have a subaru for that"

My biggest car complaint isn't about the 370.

It's about the Corvette having a Cobalt steering wheel. Wtf?

True that one.. I call it a wagon wheel.

Also on the list is the poor poor seats. And buttons they used in the 1990 gm line. Almost all parts bin parts.

But the vette is a good value,,, just not a year round car.

Plus it is too wide and feels like your laying down in it. O well.

Mis-matched paint from the factory.

chuckd05 · 04-14-2010, 09:59 PM

paint is really my only complaint , way too soft and chips way too easily ... also my bumpers were mis matched but nissan covered a respray of front and rear and they match fine so Im happy...

Csquared · 04-14-2010, 10:03 PM

If i resprayed they need to do, A pillers, front & rear bumper, fuel cap. I dont' want them to rip my car apart to respray! lol.

Dont be afraid to repsray it... They will cover it, they did for me. And find a very good shop and have them bring it to them, or look into their body shop, stop by the shop and ask to see some finsished products...

Its thousands of dollars to be spent when your car needs paints yet most people dont do any research to see how the shop is. I must drive shops crazy but I know they know what i expect and it is better than way.

Push push push to get it resprayed because you deserve it if your car is off that badly.. you paid a lot of money, it should not be a two tone car, my bumpers were awful and no one at Nissan didnt agree, it went as smooth as I could of hoped for.

The shoulder belt tensioner/arm clicks and is sometimes annoying. The highbeam indicator light is super bright (I use it a lot to drive home at night after work on a dark road).

1. road noise - i'd like to preserve my hearing for as long as possible and Australian roads generally are bad...

2. hatch springs... why are they so weak, my replacement ones are failing on me now.

3. fuel guage... the last dot not lighting up bugs me...

4. engine's not buttery smooth like my dad's 1999 maxima... that 3L VQ was like butter...

5. hood anchor point... as a result of the anchor being to one side, the hood alignment goes out after awhile... doublesided gas struts would be nice...

none of the above are deal breakers and change the fact that the car is freakin awesome to drive (which was the main criteria for the car) but it would be nice if the car didn't have the above listed issues.

My biggest beef with my 370z is the owner...

My current car, the third gen Eclipse, the hood latch is retarded and takes multiple tries, and my doors are never stationary when it's opened, so it always hits me when I'm trying to get in or out.

What's your biggest beef with your car?

You know that Nissan could have designed the car better but they chose not to make it to its potential. (ex. Exhaust, Intake) Its like the Porsche Cayman of the Nissan world.

My biggest annoyance is the road noise in the back (sounds like rocks hitting the inner wheelwell)
