Considering buying 370z.

The Z's steering is slightly numb, but it still has better feedback than most cars. Definitely better than the C6 Corvettes I've driven and about even with my Sport-package Mustang (with sport mode engaged).

Of course, you will be tainted for life if you ever test drive something like a Cayman S. That car (the base Cayman, anyway) is the 370's benchmark and, for the price, Nissan did a great job coming up with something that gives it an honest run for its money.

When I first was looking at a sports car I was looking closely at the 370, Cayman S, and Corvette C6.

The C6 had the power, but lacked refinement and an interior worthy of its price tag.

The Cayman S had a wonderful balance of power, incredible handling and feel, and quality. Unfortunately a new one cost more than a new C6, and a used one still cost more than a new 370Z.

The 370 had a great balance of power, handling, and feel with a great price tag to boot. Sure it wasn't as fast in a straight line as the Corvette, but it had a better feel and a higher quality interior, and no, it wasn't as refined and didn't have the feel as the Cayman S, but for $35k vs $40k used or $60-70k new, none of that really mattered to me anymore.

The 370 is a great car. I don't care what anyone says. If you like it, buy it. It WILL make you happy. Enjoy the thing for as long as it makes you smile. Owning a Z is great experience.
