2011 370z car throttle review.
 
2011 Nissan 370Z Review – Still a Winner

This interview nailed the Z for what it is. The most well built and one of the most technologically advanced and most fun to drive car in the price range. I really enjoyed reading this review. I hope other enthusiasts like it to?


I searched to make sure its not a repost. If it is? Sorry.

Kind of a fluf piece of automotive journalism, but as a Z enthusiast, I give it a :tup:

Chriz 05-14-2011 01:49 AM

No complaints about noise :tup:

I didn't learn anything from this article, but it sure was nice to not have the car torn apart for lacking a rear seat.

That's the reason Lexus exists. Hushed silence and backseats galore

It's a sports car not a luxury car. Anything that doesn't make the car faster, safer, more nimble, or lighter is just luxury. You have cabin noise turn up the radio. You want back seats get a charger.

Going by that logic, then the Z shouldnt have a radio, a/c, heater, interior panels, sunroof, because those are all luxury items.

Lemers 05-14-2011 08:34 AM

It doesn't have a sunroof

Noise issue is pretty much non-existent if you replace the Potenza's w/ All season performance tire such as Conti DWS All Season.. u give up some performance, but it's so much quieter..

Davey 05-14-2011 12:12 PM

I'm so sick of reviews done by dumb soccer moms saying that tire noise is a problem, or the engine is "raucous" and "unrefined" and "loud" when you rev it up... :rolleyes:

Buy a Maxima if you want sport/luxury. :mad:

I wish the stock exhaust was a little louder, even.

I was reading the Consumer Reports review of the Z the other day, going by their review you'd think the Z was the antichrist

Here's a list of crap that I have seen in various reviews:

- Limited cargo space
- "Cramped" interior
- Noisy engine
- Road noise
- Low seating position
- Tough to get in and out of

Really? It's a sports coupe. Do you review Buicks and complain that they don't pull 1G on the skidpad? :roflpuke2:

Yeah, chiming in on consumer reports. I have the magazine. They said the genesis coupe is more reliable than our cars. Hardly anyone on our site complains about anything and when they do its minor crap. We actually sound like spoiled babies on here sometimes. Like we own a porsche or somethin. Hahaha.

Go in the gencoupe site. " my tranny dead." Mymotor dead" my car won't start" rattles everywhere, parts falling off. And they still love there cars. Lmao. Talk about dedication. Over here the trunk gets stuck and you trade to a mustang.

The camaro forums too. Axles breaking. Electrical shorts, tranny issues, squeaks and rattles.

My car is first year car. Its like car # 3,5xx. Not one rattle. My only complaint is that the hatch gets stuck on cold and humid days.

Point is, I would love to know how CR claims the Z is unreliable. Oh and get this. They said our cars are the worst for depreciation. Show me a chesp used Z that hasn't been abused and I. Will go wash that car everyday for a week. Lol

No kidding. These all sound like the exact traits that I expect and look for in a sports car. Geez.

Funny thing is i read most of those reviews before going and taking a test drive and you know what....i proved them all wrong in one test drive. To me coming from an econo box base chevy cobalt the interior of the Z is leaps and bounds better and more quiet than a church on a weekday, also even after i flogged the car for around 10 minutes i did not see the oil temp gauge go a hair above 180. Perhaps i was lucky, but i find that most of these reviews that are done on the Z seem to be very biased as i did not encounter one problem on my test drive that was mentioned in any review article.

whoady4shoady 05-15-2011 02:03 AM

I'm surprised they didn't mention how cheap and thin the doors are.

GTRFAN 05-15-2011 04:26 AM

Base price: $30,610
Price as tested: $35,075


OMG....You guys have it so easy. We pay exactly double that here in Oz and our dollar is worth more than yours! Not fair. :(

Hambone1 05-15-2011 08:23 AM

Not to mention that one of the other major publications had the Z as one of the top resale values that past few years. CR is retarded, stick to reviewing efficient light bulbs and refrigerators.
