Why did you buy 370z

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

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.

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.
