Came from a Red 2007 350Z... a SR 370Z Nismo was my next step! :p

I wanted a new car. Had to be sporty and powerful and rear wheel drive and not an American POS that would be recalled or fall apart. And had to be within the price range I was willing to pay. Not a lot of choices. The Z did it for me.
However, they missed the mark by not addressing the interior noise issue, a better fuel gauge cluster and an analog clock instead of the cheap digital, and they should have gone full leather instead of the half & half interior.
Just a few improvements and I would have been 100% happy.

because race car.. jk. mainly because it makes the ladies melt :p

Liked it the first time I saw it. Just like a woman, looked from the head to toes, and liked what I saw! I'm willing to put up with her quirks just cause she looks so good!

I had a 280ZX 2+2 in the early 80's and I stupidly traded it in for a '87 Mustang GT. Then the kids came and life happened. Now I'm an empty nester and I've never forgiven myself for ever getting rid of my Z, so I've corrected that mistake once and for all!...

Exactly my reason too. The Cayman S was special but after calculating cost of ownership, the Z won hands down. $200 oil changes and known expensive parts just turned me off. Plus I came to the realization that the Z is way sexier than the Cayman.

Fuel cluster although awkward but not bad...reminds me of the RSX. Interior noise is MUCH better better than the 350Z; look into SecondSkin products if i bothers you that much. I've always hated the analog clocks on the Infiniti's...looked tacky and out of place in a car. Alcantara inserts > full leather any day. No cold or burning ***, and holds you better in place during the sharper turns. Also looks higher-end imo.

I had a Honda Civic DX first car... I always fantasized over the 370 before it came out.

I HAD TO GET ONE!!!

I got it because its awesome :)

But seriously the 370z was the most well rounded sports car for me (power, handling, amenities, build quality) Close runner up was the c6 corvette. Its definitely faster than the Z but I didn't get it because the power and speed wasn't enough to make up for the cheap interior build. I also didn't like how there's seemingly one on every corner where I live.

saw this photo on Nissan's official website.

it fit the bill of everything, I wanted and how a sports car should look.... sleek, sexy. nimble. the cockpit felt like you were in a sports car.

all that.

like when I thought of the word.. Sports car......im thinking something, low, sleek, smooth, looks fast, handles good. and when I first saw it, I was like " YES! that's it!"

I mean look at it! ..... its a SPORTS CAR

and all for an affordable price of 30k! instead of 100+ K

370Z is one sick car, so much for the money in every way, I've owned multiple Z cars and they were all great, I absolutley love my 370Z ... if I had a much larger budget I would get a Porsche 911 Carrera S, I don't feel there is a car in between the 2 worth buying that meets all the similar needs and criteria

I was tired of turbo cars and wanted NA w/ good power. Also better mpg than the last 2 I had.

I would add that the terrible 350Z understeer was greatly reduced.

Get Even...

Third Z for me and had enough to pay cash for it vs buying a used GTR and having a car payment :shakes head:

I really wanted the GTR but I am happy with the Z and no car payment :tup:
