Because I had access to trades at wholesale prices(friends) I've owned 2 & 3 Nissan at the same time. Most likely I've owned more Nissans than anyone, except for a Nissan dealer I brought my check book with me today. I'm not dumping on the 370! You guys should be able to take someones negative, (only in part) experience/opinions. The suspension felt sporty, the engine felt weak & empty, with just a flat feeling up to 6,000 rpm. didn't feel the engine helping me control car when down shifting. I've had some of the best Nissans. 1.6 1.8 2.0 liter 4 cyl. 3 liter iron with tim. belts 3 lit alum. w chain a few 3.5 alum. V 8's. I have some experience under my belt
