What's your biggest beef with your 370z/any other car?
 

I haven't yet picked up my 370z, but from sitting in my friend's 370z, I was getting pretty irritated with some rattling sound inside the cabin.

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?:ughdance:

Tire/road noise sounds the same whether I have the windows roll down or up in the 370Z. LOL!

It's a small thing, but the side mirrors are freakin annoyingly large, and block my view. I need to yank them off and replace them with something smaller.

None. Read heeya foo : http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...ts-so-far.html :tup:

Little things like road noises and relatively limited visibility from inside. But who cares! It is a very beautiful vehicle and fun to drive.

I don't like that there's no passenger eject button.

I don't like the dash

love everything about mine, what road noise?

1) Ridiculous high in-cabin noise.
2) Very high gravel/sand/tire noise.
3) Clicky, sticky gear shift. (MT)

lack to rearward visibility, but i plan to fix that with a backup cam.

the paint sucks

+1

+1

Also, +1 for side mirrors.

1) oversized rear view mirrors (belong on a truck)
2) rattle in my truck that i can't pin-point.

i think the stock exhaust was terrible so i replaced it but if you really have a big enough problem with something it can always be changed except for the way people stair at this beautiful car when you drive by :driving::happydance:

The PAINT is by far the worse i have ever dealt with
NO V8??
lotta in cabin noise
it comes out the factory on stilts
i Cant see SH!t out the back, lol
shifter should be shorter
beautiful three pod gauge on the dash with one wasted on a damn clock WTF!!!

^^ do you like the 370? haha

my beef was the seats. im a j-folk and the same j-folk that designed the 370z could not fit me in correctly. wtf is with that?

but thanks to modshack and his suggestion about using spacers, etc i was able to fix my seat height and now it's perfect. :p im luving my Z right now. :D

oh yah, the other beef was the HU. it sucked...so got a DVD HU and rearview camera. :p

The base sound system that comes on the nismo. :(

Magnetic Black paint is so bad...

Road noise and paint quality. But also not having 400+ HP but that's just me...

Paint
Interior road noise on certain roads

Agree with black paint and sand/dirt noise in the wheel wells just kills me. Do the splash guards help this at all? I have them, just havent installd them yet.

Would I trade it back for another car? Never
Would I trade it for a PG? Yes

The thing that I notice most frequently is the lack of side view - even though I've gotten used to using the side mirrors when changing lanes, I don't like not being able to turn my head and see what's next to me. And the side mirrors don't help at all when backing out of a parking stall - you just have to back out slowly and hope that anyone coming will stop to avoid you.

The only other thing that sometimes (depending on the road conditions) gets to me is the road noise.

Never enough darn power. 370 should not only mean 3.7 L but also 370 HP.

Intake/CBE/Tune, you're there.

more power
harsher suspension
The clutch is too deep
everything else is greeat:tup:

Part throttle motherfucking boost in my old srt4. That made daily driving a complete nightmare.

Mirrors are my only complaint. They are made bigger on the inside so you can see farther behind you (like on a truck or pickup), but they block forward 1/4 visibility and I would rather have them the same size as the 350Z

No wait - lack of digital speedo. I miss that from my 350Z

I'm not crazy about the oil consumption. But I guess with all these new tight tolerance engines that require 5W oil with the viscosity of water to meet the lubrication needs, I guess some burn off is accepted. #2 - Not crazy about the Ipod issues with newer generation models. #3 - Showing my age here, GOD I miss my Z's having T-Tops.

Road noise is not that bad, but the limited visibility (blinds spots) is something you as a driver need to get used to it. I do have to look twice or three times especially on the passenger side. I already have the driver side down pack.

Other than that I'll see tomorrow when I pick up the car since they are they replacing my front bumper and I will have no holes. :tup:


Exactly right! Mine is the same. :mad:

So far just the pass side rear view. If a car is on my right, out of view from the rear hatch window, but not up far enough to make it to my pass side mirror it is completely not visible. I've been getting into the habit of giving it a little gas before I change lanes while I look out that mirror for the guy floundering on my side. Or I just try to avoid tight passes altogether.

The paint bugs me. I've had the car for 3 months and I have paint chips to the primer and clear coat scratches on the hood. And some jackass put 4 chips in the paint behind the passanger door (must have hit it hard with his door)

Road noise = turn the radio up
blind spots = know they are there and be careful

the Damn glass on these cars is super soft i have shavings off my windshield not chips just small shavings from rocks

The best thing about the car is the engine and road noise, especially the Nismo.

I actually love it lol

i traded in a brand new srt8
jus to get it

i had a 1990 300zx
too

i jus hate when a company cuts corners
on things that would really take the cake

i mean seriously
a clock in the third pod?

Seriously???

Other than a few things that thing is great

yeah i agree with the clock how was the SRT-8? i almost got one

Mis-matched paint from the factory.

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...

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.
