Want a 370z but concerned before buying

Shifting is driver error... speaking from experience here so don't take offense. You learn the clutch. My shifts are substantially smoother than when I first started throughout every shift. I find the shifting a bit qwerky from n-1, 1-2, 2-3 and lesser degree 3-4 but you get used to it.

As for the engine's roughness... it will grow on you! The g35, g37 and q50 are all the same line of cars IMO. Luxury sports sedan/coupes. Comparable to IMHO, is350, 335, c350 (or c400 now I guess), s4, mkZ, etc. The 370z is umm... yea it's a niche. I guess the genesis, Camaro, mustang... then again they are different classes.

If you are getting the car, get a lightly used or year-older model with the sports package. Save yourself the depreciation hit.

Love my Z but if I could obtain a Q50... yeah all day. Love that car. Drool every time I see it.

One day I'll have both. (After my Z is paid off - not long)
