I had a serious lapse in judgement around the end of 2010 and purchased a Chevrolet Cruze--a waste of a year of car payments. However, it had a good TPMS in it--a reading for each tire. If a cheap Chevy can come with this feature standard, it shouldn't even be a question on a Z. It should be there.

Also a cheap Ford Focus comes with the blind spot mirrors and other low end cars have the blind spot indicators which is a standard safety feature. But Nissan...NO!!!!!

Perhaps Nissan assumes that people who buy Z's know how to drive.

Repped because you made me laugh! the only assumption that is safe to make with the general public, is that they are all retarded dumb a$$ who don't know there a$$ from their elbow!

In trade school a lot of the jokes well "shouldn't that code rule be common sense?" answer was always "if people had common sense you wouldn't rules and laws" and then you wouldn't see 90-99% of the crap that goes on! But as you all know theres dumb a$$ out there on a daily basis

to let you know that nissan was too cheap to put an oil cooler on the car and if you plan on having any spirited driving fun in the moderate climates,you'll have to get one.
