I'd recommend a test drive if you're interested

Sorry, I can't convince you but I love mine. The best thing is to test drive all the cars your considering then make a decision. You should expect alot of love for the 370z in a 370z forum. Go figure.

hey swede you're typing MINI incorrectly. it's MINI for the new MINI's and Mini's for the classics.

I'm extremely happy with my Z. I cross shopped it with the Evo X and Sti. Evo X has a gas pedal that snaps off if you're worried about quality. Sti I felt did not drive as well as the 370z and the interior quality was not as nice.

I think I am going to trade mine in for a smart car

Talk about power!

I think smart cars were designed with the reasoning that you could buy one(cheap) and still have a Z too!

Everything considered, I am pleased with my purchase.

I agree with many who say:
1) Price is good and deals at invoice or below can be had.
2) Very reliable car and mechanically solid.
3) Styling is gorgeous and impressive.
4) Car handles beautifully.

However,
1) Paint is very soft and chips very easily. Gotta' buy a clear bra.
2) Many consider the ride somewhat harsh.
3) Much road noise.

Test drive and decide for yourself.

Answering your reliability-related question, Swede: According to CR magazine, Zs fluctuate between "Better than average" and "Much better than average", so go for it, dude! A sweet, reliable vehicle that also performs well...Can't beat that! I own an '04 Touring Coupe that's v-e-r-y reliable; only repair has been the replacement of the driver's side power window motor. And the 370's got an even more powerful engine, and is much cuter, 100 lbs lighter than mine, and yields a couple more MPG!!!

Mergnthwirker · 06-08-2010, 10:40 AM

The best part about the Z is driving it! Some things I don't like (rear 3/4 visibility for one), but all is forgiven when hard on the throttle, heel-toe downshifting into a hard corner, blasting out on the other side... Makes me want to be out driving rather than working!

Touring interior is fairly nice, but not up to modern Audi standards. Ride/handling balance is nearly perfect for road use, could be a bit more controlled on the track. A bit noisy, but mostly in a good way - mechanical and honest. You always know what is going on with it. It is NOT a grand touring car, it's really a sports car. Drive = Love!

Best bang for the buck so far!
