What do you wish you got that you didn't get?

winnre · 01-02-2014, 06:04 PM

We all love our Z to pieces. But after a little bit maybe you wish you had a rear view camera, illuminated kick plates, those teeny mudflaps, or a better sound system. That's easy to install so no harm done. But some things cannot be installed, and they need to be selected at the outset and purchased on Day One.

Is there anything that you did NOT get and now you look back and say, "Hmm if I had it to do over again I'd get a Z with ________."

Of course we can all sell and upgrade, at a huge loss no doubt. But for others looking at a Z, maybe we can give them an idea of what to consider a little longer before pulling the trigger.

Select all that apply!

I was not all that familiar with the Z when i bought mine and the dealer listed it as touring sport when it is really a base sport

I'll jump on this one and say sometimes I wish I shopped around for a black Z. Of course I have a black Frontier so after a day of washing/waxing it makes me want to drink bleach and gargle with razor blades...but it looks good cleaned up. Oh and birds love to $hit on silver cars.

I'd get a convertible. Now someone with a convertible tell me how bad they are!

ParkStr8 · 01-02-2014, 07:26 PM

Nope - love my ZR. But I'm a multiple car family - so if I were single it would not work with 2 100lb dogs.

I clicked on all of the options without reading them just because I was allowed to do so

i should've went with the deep freezer option.

I got the convertible and sometimes I wish I'd gotten the touring hardtop. Nothing wrong with the ragtop, I just think the hardtop has better lines; except when I put the top down. Then I like it.
