The '09's biggest downfall is the aftermarket suspension and the question of abuse by the previous owner. I played this up to the sales guy along with the fact that it lost power twice. Based on those items, I think the car is over priced and definitely not something I want to take on. Like you, I prefer new cars so *I* know that it's been properly broken in and not abused. Aside from the funky clutch action, I think the 40th Z was much closer to the mark than the '09. I'm in no hurry to buy another car at this time. It was more of an exercise to scratch an itch and see how the 370Z compared to my Z - I was mostly curious to see if I could fit in it (6'4" - it was a bit snug). The 370Z has some nice amenities and the styling is growing on me. But the Z32 doesn't look too dated compared to most cars out there. My biggest issue on the Z32 is it's age (22 years old), and relative lack of safety enhancements compared to the 370Z (and virtually every newer car on the road for that matter). Thanks for your input. It's greatly appreciated. Dave |
