Great performance, handling, interior comfort, and styling along with good gas mileage - what more would a reasonable person ask for?

As far as the noise issue goes, if you tend to drive on gravelly roads, roads with loose material (sand, pebbles, etc.), or rough roads then the interior noise is probably going to be unpleasant - although that can be tamed by adding sound deadening material such as Dynamat (also described in various threads on the370Z.com). I live in SoCal and I don't have a problem with noise in the passenger cabin.

All in all - after owning and using it as a DD for almost 3 years, I'm still pleased as all get out with my 370Z!

I mostly agree. Best car value. Gravel can be dealt with by a quick stop to allow it to fall to ground or listen to it, no big deal. Mileage for me is a happy, 12 MPG. If I get better it means that I had to drive slowly.

I am fortunate and could buy most any car on the market. Spending over $200,000 for a car is just hard to justify in my working for a living mind. I feel it is a story when I tell my friends about blowing away a more expensive car, with a cheap Z. Telling friends about blowing away a 370 while driving a McLaren MP4-12C, sounds like a bully picking on a child. So what, who expects the Z to win?

As far as street racing goes, I drive fast with or without another car on the road. If there is another car around people call it a race but that is how fast I planned on driving anyway. With this said I have encountered all kinds of more expensive cars that have had me stuck to their bumpers or pulled over to let me go. They might be racing, I just want to get past them like they were a Prius etc..

With the 370Z I can complain about small things* but when put up against other expensive sports cars, $1000 for an oil cooler or an exhaust seems petty.

* I needed a new short block and some emission warranty work.
