F the color... Does anyone regret buying their Z?

Magic Bus

Wow, sorry to hear, you've had some bad luck. I've had the opposite experience with my Nissans. For me no regrets on the Z at all, also happy to save the $25K vs an ISF.

I regret buying a used one. That's about it.

Like it so much we had two, granted only for 7 months. If we didnt have to upsize cars I would still have 2!

hahahhahahah im so glad i leased the 370Z, I only put down 3000$ and pay 350 a month for 36 months and im getting the hell out of Nissan when the new mustang or sti comes out or upgrading to an AMG Benz.

I would be seriously pissed if i financed and would be stuck with a car i get tired of or want to get out of. Thats why people dont realize how great leasing is if you dont care about mileage restrictions and always having a car payment. Every 3 years i can switch into something fresh and fun.

One things for sure its going to be hard to top the 370Z in the looks department but too many other faults in this car for me.

Edit: I'll be a bit nicer about this... The Z is not a financial imposition for me, and I bought it brand new.

JungleZ

cool story im not sure how many people can afford 2 sports cars and a mortgage but more power to you.

370Z is not a keeper unless you drop like 20-30K inmods on the dam thing.. Were talking Twin Turbo and the whole nine yards suspension wise

shadoquad

Well, I can.

It is a keeper, and I've spent far less than that. People just have different needs and standards.

I can easily accept the premise that some people are not satisfied with this car. But there are plenty of folks who are quite satisfied with it, as well.

Z_ealot

just seems lately that the people who arent satisfied are more vocal about it

Starting my 4th year with mine (only 11,000 mi. so far though). I'm glad I bought my Z. Considered it very, very carefully first. Changed out the tires for a much quieter ride, got the Clearbra, so I wouldn't be worried about chips on the vulnerable front end and got a custom leather interior. All set for a dozen more years and maybe 40,000 more miles of 3,000 mi./year or so pleasure driving each driving season. Then I'll be 77 and will wind things up with a more comfortable Infiniti G.

If all you want is a rocket between your legs, just pick up some piece of ****, dump an lsx in it, and have a nut. The 370z is an affordable mixture of performance and luxury, not the best of one or both. If you got the Z to live your life a quarter mile at a time, then you obviously didn't do your homework; and because you failed to to do a proper test drive to realize that it was too slow for your standards, I'm not sure why the car should get bashed for that as opposed to you.

I really do agree with all of what Frost said, it was the combo of looks aggressiveness, interior, speed, and a decent amount of other things.
I didn't need 2 ISFs at home and I KNEW the 370Z wouldn't be as fast as that, I just wish it wasn't so full of problems (for me at least)



NO BS, I would do it again JUST because I have met a LOT of good people through this forum and meets I just wish it would run properly

This car has the worst 6mt in the business, the 7AT felt alot faster. I'm sorry I don't like clunky sloppy stick shift cars that you have to perfectly launch or else you're getting smoked by a Honda accord v6. Don't like the rough coarse engine.
And maybe you didn't know but the base model z has the worst oversteer ever, it's borderline dangerous.. You need to spend like 1500 right off the bat for tires
Ya maybe this wasn't the right car for me but like I said earlier I'm glad I leased this car there are too many cheap Nissan bs issues with this car.

Red__Zed

leasing the car means you come out far further behind...

speedracer007

I could never lease a car. I would feel like I am getting into a RENTAL every time I opened the door. It would also drive me crazy to "always having a car payment". I haven't had a car payment in over 10 years -- paid cash for my last 5 car purchases.

To answer the question: No I do not regret purchasing my Z. I am seriously thinking that this is a car that I will never sell.
