370Z as a daily driver?

Forrest · 05-18-2009, 02:41 AM

Dont know about you guys but my oem 370z suspension feels very bumpy and soft compared to my 05 350z. It could be my imagination. ITs been a full year from z to z. so my memory may be wrong.

I feel it has less body roll but more bumpy on bumps. While the 05 had more body roll but less bumpyness

No question. Hands down an easy daily driver. Sports car look, attributes....but done effortlessly. Drive mine every damn day on crappy Texas roads...............and couldnt be happier. Unless I was in my R-33. Go for it. Only up side of Evo is 4wd in my opinion. But Im a Nissan guy, and always will be.

I drive 60 Miles a day round trip, got no clue what that is in kilometers. I had a 05 350Z and the 370Z is a great improvement for daily driving. From interior quality to ride quality its a great improvement.

Sounds like the 370Z might be for me. Unfortunately it looks like people in Canada have had difficulty ordering because Nissan is apparently discontinuing the coupe to do roadster production. I wasn't going to order right away either, because I need to save up a little for a down payment, and the orders are taking 2-3 months to come in anyways... damn

Maybe I'll have to wait for the 2010 Z, because by the time I get the car it will be winter, if I can get a 2009 model at all.
