Some are quiet, others are squeak/rattle monsters. My Z was one of the latter. It squeaked and rattled over every little bump.

Our 370Z was one of the first 2009's on the Nissan showrooms so maybe they built them better for the first allotment? We just now have encountered the rear hatch sticking.

It's just a luck of the draw thing I guess. Some of the cars are fine while others are riddled with rattles and squeaks. I had a couple in the hatch, the passenger door, and the roofliner, as well as one somewhere in the dash behind the cubby.

I just got this one recently, it sounds like something is loose enough to rattle and buzz with certain resonance from the exhaust.

The good thing is it's really easy to pop the center console out so you can look around and see if anything is loose.

In the cold weather currently here in Northern California, mid 40's (not 20 degrees) in the daytime and mid 30's at night. My rear hatch now sticks every time so I press the release twice before trying to lift the hatch. Car build date 1/09.

The Icy warning light went off for the first time the other night. Because of this I turned the VDC on. But I have not noticed the tires losing their grip. I will be more aware though.
