your take on these 370z criticisms

I tend to agree with them. They are normally right. But it is always easier to point out the bad.

For as inexpensive as this car is, I was willing to accept the "bads" with the many many goods.

The biggest "bad" that really bothers me is the suspension's (and VDC) intolerance of any road imperfection. The VDC is very VERY invasive. I think that the if the suspension was more complacent, the VDC would be less invasive. The road (rear fender) noise doesn't really bother me.

But I love the looks and the hugely linear power band. It is close to a stock turbo car, but w/o the issues of turbos. And coming from a turbo car, I do not miss that.

.

The car is built to a price point so there will be some issues from those who demand $60K quality in a $30K car...............

I'm also tired of the "it's a sports car" rationalization. This really should have nothing to do with a cars inherent quality and/or failings. At it's price point it's going to have some but not because "it's a sports car"...
