370z Driving Feel

scottIN · 10-04-2011, 09:06 AM

I've got a 2012 on order...and I've never even driven one! In fact, I ordered a touring / sport in red and I've never seen: a touring..or a sport...or a red! Yeah, call me crazy. The only one they had at the dealership was super-base and I didn't even want to drive it. Sat in it to make sure I liked the overall layout & placed my order.

I'm *guessing* it's going to handle better & have more power than my Ridgeline does though. And I'm also going to assume it won't pull 3Gs like my kart will, but oh well - that's why I have the kart.

I suggest test driving one in the meantime.

The touring seats are different than the base seats. They feel nicer generally, but they have electronics in them which make them feel tighter. The sport package is quite different than base as well.

Do yourself a favor and find a sport/touring, even if it's on a used lot somewhere, and drive it around for a minute to get to know the car.

scottIN you don't want to be part of the "I thought the car did this and that" wagon.

Congrats on your purchase too boss
