i drove about 300miles to dallas the other weekend. Believe it or not it was more comfortable than my mazda 6s with leather. I have sciatica and that was an issue when buying this car. After that trip and hour long traffic commutes, no pain at all, thats with a clutch too.

For long car rides, i definitely recommend it. I wouldn't worry too much about road noise. If you have luggage, that should quiet it down. I didn't and it was fine. There were a few stretches of road on I-10 that were bad, but what the hell, turn your radio up or zone out, you'll be fine!

i drove my z for more than five hours 350 miles to alexandria virginia last september and no problems at all

I’ve driven to 3-4 hours to Vegas 7 times in my Z and love it. I’m a fat and happy guy (5’10/280)… and never had any issues… maybe it’s the extra padding :tup:

Once every couple weeks, I do a 75 mile commute to an office for work, and after a 10 hour day, that trip home is exhausting. Otherwise, for a pleasure trip, just take lots of breaks. Stop for coffee, then beer, then coffee, on a rotation every hour or so, and enjoy the view of your car from the outside.

Yeah I'm 6'3" and drove from Gainesville Fla to Tenn and several back roads then back to Fla. My Wife and I had a great time very comfortable drive and had a blast on the Dragon too!

Just got done today taking the Z on its first long road trip from miami to lakeland in central fl. Was pretty comfortable, only grief I had was trying to find a comfy position for the seat to be in, the drive is like 4hours or so and about the 3rd hour in my legs start to feel a little bit restless like there not getting the right bloodflow thru them, but it might be because I slouch in the seat after driving for so long.

oh man...took a 120 mile round trip today and that nismo suspension was killing me. the potholes and hardly paved roads of SF were murder!

Long trips have been fine for me (3-4 hours), like many people have been saying there are several factors that influence your experience- driver/passenger size (height, weight), NISOM/Coupe/Touring Coupe/Roadster etc./road quality

haha. especially if you over-inflated the tires by 5 lbs like i do :)
when i used my nismo as a dd i didn't realize how hard the ride was. then i got another car as a dd and drove it for a week. weekend came and i got into the nismo. man, what a big difference! :eek:

:werd: yea no joke...ive been driving my 06 corolla, lowered on H&R race springs for the last few weeks. i used to think THAT was stiff! oh man...the nismo is just plain harsh after DD'ing that for the longest time.

i just drove from phoenix to san francisco, it was great, until LA... then the roads were just terrible all the way to SF... and with the 370z, you can definitely tell!

I did Harrisburg, PA to Raleigh, NC in about 6hrs.
I was none the worse for wear after the trip.

I don't know about you, but I'm always up for a roadtrip in the Z. It's just more fun than not lol :)

I have made trips from ATL to DC and Ohio in my Nismo and it wasn't bad. I find the noise from my WRX exaust to be worse for long trips than the harder springs in the Nismo.

No foolin' about the California roads. I've been dodging new pot holes every day lately. I still have yet to do a long drive, but still look forward to one. Now that the exhaust notes changed.
