Totally Honest Opinion of Your Satisfaction With Your 370

wanker

Do your research and know what you're getting. A pure sports car at an affordable price. In that regard, the Z is a solid 8.5 out of 10.

All the criticisms of the Z are a result of Nissan trying to keep the cost down. Road noise; heavy weight; lack of rear visibility; no back seat; lack of oil cooler etc. are all cost related. Thus, in many aspects, the Z is a compromise.

With that said, a Z can out perform 98% of all cars on the road, and can go toe to toe with a Porsche 911 or Cayman S for 1/3 the price. A lightly used Z still under warranty can be had for the mid-$20K. That is an astonishing deal.

Plus with the money you save, it's provides a great opportunity to mod your Z which is part of it's appeal. Sure having a 2 seater is sometimes impractical, but I haven't regretted my purchase for a minute.

I thought that too, but I also thought it'd be cool if a Panamera's WB could be shortened, made into either a 2+2 or 2-seater. I think that'd be awesome...It would be a 21st century Porsche 928 I think.

I had one back in the early 90's. 280ZX 2+2. It was a blast to drive yet I could take the kids to the baby sitter. At the time it was prefect for me. The highest speeding ticket I ever got was in that car. It was a bit on the ugly side but it was a good car handled great and had enough giddy up to get me into trouble thats for sure.

I had a 1981 280ZX 2+2 and the back seats were useless! I absolutely LOVED the car though, and I have kicked myself in the *** every day since 1987 when I traded it in for a brand new Mustang 5.0. No more Mustangs for me! I'm a Z guy all the way!....
