Every day I see threads posted about how this car has the worst oil burning engine ever, how the ECU is bad, how the paint is terrible, how the road noise is unacceptable, the famous hatch opening issue, how almost every other sports car has better performance and re-sale value...... and on and on and on.

Yes, I would still buy. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. The performance is all I expected and more. And, the most important part, I've had a great time in mine. So to all those nay-sayers out there that enjoy bashing and trashing this car.... at least I'm convinced it's a very good if not great car for the money I've spent.

(flame away or rep-point me if you agree)

I agree and well said. I still don't understand all the talk about the road noise. I bought my 2010 Roadster in late December of "09, had it flat bedded to my garage, and there it sat until the salt was gone from the roads. After reading all the comments about the noise I really wondered what I got myself into. People buying sound deadening products, even one was given to a contest winner if I remember correctly, and the sound of debris hitting the fender wells was so loud that that needed to be tended to also.

If some feel that way, fine, and I won't dispute them, everyone has their own opinion, but when I took her out for the first drive, I was absolutely in love with her from the moment I hit the start button to the moment I stepped out of it after a two hour drive, and I still am.

I love not only the sound of my Z, but everything else about it as well. I am missing her already because tomorrow may be the last day I drive her until spring as I think that will be the day I put her in storage for the winter.

I love my 370Z Roadster. I only wish I could put it into words. It's hard to describe how happy I am when I am driving my Z, even washing-waxing- detailing her, not to mention looking at her sitting there in a parking lot, knowing it's all mine. What an absolutely beautiful automobile.

I had a friend comment to me just a few days ago. He said, with a big smile on his face; "is there ANYTHING that you don't like about your Z?"

My reply was; "no, I could ask for nothing more."

Bye the way, I'd like to send my kudo's to AK and this great Forum. It has been a mainstay to me and I look forward to more of the same in the days and years ahead. The experience I've had with owning, operating and enjoying my Z would not have been the same without this great Forum. I am very glad I stumbled onto it last year.

Thanks AK, and thanks to all the rest of you for being a part of it.

Hey Frost, if you agree, show us your tits! LOL

FYI, the roadster is generally acknowledged as quieter than the coupe, and the 2010 roadster I test drove was definitely quieter than my 2009 coupe.

Endgame · 11-02-2010, 05:25 PM

I voted undecided as I think I would step up to the GTR..... SUPER SILVER and four seats!!

sonic370 · 11-02-2010, 07:47 PM

High-Step said it all and nailed it.... I look forward to everyday pushing in that little red start button.... every time i look at the 370 i notice something i love more about it.... no car is perfect.... the measure of this car to me is how many strangers come up to me and remark about the car..

plus this forum is a blast most of the members show a lot of class...

370zsport09 · 11-02-2010, 08:01 PM

Yes if it happened but more than likely the NISMO instead of Sport/Touring Package ..... if it happened in a few years....more than likely....M3 Beamer or used low mileage 2005ish 911 TURBO

..... also had my eye on the LEXUS IS-F

.................. but for now most definitely the Z for now....

cab83_750 · 11-02-2010, 08:07 PM

For those of you looking at the Bimmers Or MBs, search on Yahoo about both companies' recent product ratings. Down boy! Down......

Ct Chip · 11-02-2010, 08:13 PM

Absolutely YES. I still believe that it is the best in class for the $$$'s. Best bang for the buck hands down.

optiontrader · 11-02-2010, 08:17 PM

If it were for the same amount for an exact replacement, yes; definitely.

Prices on used M3's and Cayman S's (no older than 2008's) are still too much to spend on four wheels right now...

Soygen · 11-02-2010, 08:39 PM

Yup, I would.

m4a1mustang · 11-02-2010, 08:43 PM
