Potential Buyer Totally Turned Off
 
Today I sat in a Z for the first time, a '10 Black Cherry Touring Sport with nav and manual transmission. The car was beautiful but I was totally turned off by the sound of the driver door closing. The door sounded thin and flimsy, and lacked the thunk sound of well- built cars. I walked away, the Z not for me.

Uhh, okay. Later.

kinda shallow to base a cars quality on the "sound" of its door closing. i can understand the feeling though, but i could never be dissuaded by this when you consider that the Z has more quality per square inch than most every other car in its price range, without exaggeration.

fullmonty 07-10-2010 09:24 PM

What the hell did you expect it to sound like, a tank? Trust me friend its plenty sturdy, and has a thud to it.

LunaZ 07-10-2010 09:24 PM

You drive a Miata and you think a Z feels thin and flimsy???

I also drive a Miata and think you're a little off base in your assessment.

Sunsational04 07-10-2010 09:24 PM

your joking right? let's getttt real.

YoungTurk 07-10-2010 09:25 PM

Why's the door sound so tinny and feel so flimsy though?

Aren't the doors Aluminum not steel like other cars? Doesn't mean cheap just lighter and better

Complaining about how a door closes? Really?

frost 07-10-2010 09:26 PM

Wow, who would have thought that pic would get so much mileage so quickly?

nogoodname 07-10-2010 09:26 PM

Get a G35, the door is so clunky....lol

My '09 GT PRHT is built like a tank man, solid, tight and well- screwed. The door to the Z didn't come close to inspiring that kind of confidence in it's build quality.

frost 07-10-2010 09:27 PM

If it's good enough for Washington, it's good enough for you

You just don't know what your talking about...lol


The Z has small doors because it's a 2 seater and it's aluminum.

YoungTurk 07-10-2010 09:28 PM

Looks like I hit a nerve. Good luck guys, I wish you all the best.

we could get a q-tip for your ears maybe?

nogoodname 07-10-2010 09:29 PM

Get a G37, the doors are huge. Could take out a few bicycles too.

De nial is not just a river in Africa.

frost 07-10-2010 09:30 PM

Did you ever think it's about better built quality? I don't want my car sounding like a big, clunkly, metal piece of shit.

I've got a great idea. My opinion is low of a particular vehicle. So I'm going to go inform owners of said vehicle of this opinion. People who've already spent thousands of dollars on them.

Two weeks from now:

"I finally found a car I like, the Challenger. It totally sounds like the big, clunky, metal, piece of shit with low build quality I've come to expect out of my Miata"

You didnt hit a nerve we just dont agree with you. We like our cars just fine. U sir seem like a troll. u make an account on someone's forum just to **** on the car? lets get serious here. i could pick apart just about any car with that kinda mentality. eg. the rolls turn signal doesnt sound classy enough, the s class merc is not a limo when i expect it to be. the miata's roof is too slow and its got no power. anyways if its not for you its not for you. no need to reply and start s**t, mr troll

Tinny and cheap. Poorly assembled. Much like the way a Miata sounds.... Oh wait
