I've grown up, I don't need a lot of HP and no looks. I want the best of both worlds and the Z gives that to me, and with only two seats (I didn't want more than two, so that ruled out the G, etc.).

Makes no sense that you didn't get a Touring/NAV, if that is true.


The new American cars are getting it right. I bet the 2015 mustang Premium interior will be sickhouse, and the C7 interior already looks killer.

I don't think so at all.

If I bought a 370Z again I wouldn't choose the touring option again. Not a fan of how the leather wears (not good, in my experience). The cloth seats are high quality and feel like they grip better. They certainly breathe better.

And I would want to add my own sound system, as the Bose is junk.

No need for turbo, get the VTEK.

I don't regret my 40th but I found that realistically the base+sport is better for the money. I paid extra for things like heated seats and heated mirrors (which i don't need in seasonal car), bose (which is ok, but not great), leather which looks nice, but wears easily and even worse scratches very easily.

However, the red interior in my z is full of win.

I can't justify an extra $6-7k for leather seats and a lackluster nav. when I can purchase a better 2DIN and sound system for far less. As for the leather, it's not preferred here in Phoenix for obvious reasons. Is it nice? Yes, but too hot (you can't always have covered parking).

In for pics of your 2DIN.

Tint the windows with ceramic. Love mine, even in 110* heat.
