How has your 370Z held up?

roplusbee · 11-02-2011, 12:33 PM

The only issues that I have had with my 09 NISMO have been fixed under warranty. The hatch thing got fixed, but still requires help opening or a few presses of the release. Just hit 27k before I deployed and the car is rock solid. The paint up front has it's share of wear/damage, but I drive the car year round and have taken several road trips.

My Z has the same issue. Just open the window and I forget about it.

Yea, its really a minor issue. Just strange that a lot of us get it. Nissan's been building cars too long to make such a weird design oversight. Its got to have something to do with the ducting insulation or proximity to engine components.

This is an interesting thread for a potential future 370z owner. Thanks guys.

My 2009 Z Touring with Sport Package is my DD, with 26k miles. It is in my garage when I'm not driving it. Seats look like new, however the seat warmers are weak. My headlights are beginning to cloud up. The hatch sticks (dealers says there is nothing wrong with it. Really?). Had a problem with the latch on the fuel cover. The chin spoiler drags on everything, but flat pavement. These are somewhat minor issues. Mechanically it has been fine and fun to drive.

Mine is at 25K and the only thing I've had issues with is having to push the trunk button for the second time to release the trunk, on 2 different occasions.

gbrettin · 11-16-2011, 11:56 AM

'09 31k miles. The car is still like new. The only rattles I have is from some stuff I keep in the compartments.

KaienZ34 · 11-16-2011, 12:20 PM

Been having mine since early 09 i've only got 6600 miles on it but i've got no problems and love it every min.

tsolin01 · 11-16-2011, 01:51 PM

Just hit 39k this week and had my 2010 Z since March of 2010. Daily driven and no issues at all (knock on wood).

By the way, I have had mine about 19 and 1/2 months, put 24,500 miles on her so far and have no issues.

ALthough Import Convert is on a "vacation," I'd like to respond for anyone seeking a long term review:

I was one of the first to have the Z around these parts. I don't just DD my car, I beat the **** out of it. I'm a little shy of 34k miles, and this thing is fuckin awesome still. Beautiful inside and out. Normally the side bolsters, if made of leather, show wrinkles very quickly in most cars, but my leather still looks pretty good (not like the vettes I've owned with ****-quality leather). The only I've had to take it in for was the fuel gauge not lighting all the way up, which there is an existing thread about. However, that problem was quickly fixed and has not been an issue.

The leather is a joke in the C6. My Trans Am (both the '95 and '01) was better, and the C5 was better. Hell, even my 2002 G20 has nicer leather, (although through lack of care for its first 110K miles the side-bolster on the seat-cushion is cracking a tad) Whoever at LEAR/GM decided that that leather was acceptable for any car over $12,000MSRP needs to be let go.

That is a big deal about why I want to trade. I had my rocket ship, now I want a nimble little car with a very nice interior and good looks. 370Z should do it, although had Honda continued to evolve the S2000, I would have looked there, too. Moot point, Honda doesn't make sports cars anymore. *sigh*

I still come here, they just haven't gotten my 370Z in yet, and so I have nothing new to report or ask. Noone in the US yet has the car I want, as I have said over and over again, and as Lou has also explained, they won't be here for another month or two. Ordering just opened up in early November for the model I want.

Curious what model you're waiting for...
