Any 2009 Issues With The 370Z?

Gaiiden · 08-13-2009, 04:33 AM

Thanks. Not hearing any of that though. You may want to make sure everything is secure under your trunk mat (spare, jack, tools, etc). I can't speak for the door noise since I don't listen to music or anything while driving

Biggest issue for '09 Z is that Shunya doesn't have it yet. There must be some sort of TSB out.

Kidding aside, I honestly don't have any deal breaking issues with my car. The road noise is probably the most annoying, but it only occurs on certain road surfaces. IIRC, some different tires can alleviate this issue. The transmission will be notchy for the first few thousand miles, but it is much better than my 350Z (with transmission replaced in '06). The clunkiness and rattling noise is apparent in the Z/G, so nothing new there.

No problems or issues for me. I got exactly what I wanted. Absolutely the most fun and best performance for the money, and the way I drive.

If you want a grand touring car, look elsewhere. This thing is a sports car and proud of it! It involves some trade-offs. All the things that involve driving are right on. Stuff that doesn't (like the el cheapo trunk mat mentioned above) are irrelevant, but might matter to some people. At least it is extremely light in weight! Ditto road noise (reduced weight of soundproofing), etc. Going out for a blast up the canyon, it doesn't matter. Taking a 2500 mile trip and you have to be tolerant. It is comfortable enough. The ride is actually extremely good given the handling with the sport wheels/tire. It is noisy, and there are things you can do to refine it. OTOH, if you want a touring car, let me suggest an Infiniti G-coupe instead.

No issues at all. I am coming from a 350z touring coupe and the 370 w/sport makes my 05 350z feel like a toy. No comparison. Run don't walk to your nearest dealer......

I love this car.

ps My oil temp has never gotten above 230F for normal street use. I think the issue is mostly related to track use and if it is occuring in street use it is with high revved 6MT lead foot drivers. Keep it under 120 on the way to work and you should be good. You'll stay out of prison too (at least as related to your driving).

the nuclear hyper-drive reactor is very temperamental in the 09's...heard it will be all sorted out in the 10's

so, does anybody know of anything that seemed to be a recurring problem with the new 370Z? anything at all? should i not hesitate in buying a '09 370Z or should i wait for the '10 370Z?

my hatch is getting stuck about 90% of the time lately. I've already spoken with my salesman and he seemed willing to take care of it. When I have some time I'll see what really happens. Everything else overall is a non-issue
