You don't buy a Z for max power. It has plenty of other great attributes. I love mine.

I've driven 14 of the cars on that list...still haven't gotten a chance to drive the stingray...haven't had the Mercedes or mx-5, no fiat...But I think there is pride in that list...the V6 challenger is by far one of the biggest dogs I've ever driven, if not the biggest...camaro rs isn't far behind. The Porsches top it because Porsche people are like jeep guys (I own a 2009 Wrangler Unlimited that was my first build and had I not gotten my Z it'd still be where my expendable income which is incredibly far from being remotely expendable would reside) The 1 series is pretty fun and feels very tight and nimble, but it's a sports car I'd get for my fiancee...doesn't have much soul/that something special my clunky gearboxed temperamental Z has.

The only car I can say which I've had nearly the same amount of fun in is the fr-s/brz...those are an absolute blast and provide that something extra that you just can't put your finger on.

The 370 is one of the last of a dying breed, which I guess makes me the last of a dying breed. Give me that 3rd pedal with power to the rears that actually demands attention any day over a pdk. We are lucky to enjoy one of the last true "driver's cars"... My ultimate guess - the Z owners polled are frightened by the car's rough edges or simply don't feel what is so special about that roughness

That rating probably reflects the fact that half the people who bought the Z secretly wanted a Mustang, so...

Anyway, I wanted a Z and am glad I was able to get a Z.

i'm sure if people started calling/sending emails/letters to corporate to let our voices be heard they would have to do something about that.

good, the less Z's we have on the road, the happier i get for exclusivity.

I wonder if the survey was done at one of the audiences of the "Family Feud"....survey says...and most times who cares because they are so innacurate , I'm happy with my Z and if i crash it I would get another one just like it and this comes from a guy who since high school have been boying new cars right out of the box....

I apologize if this is somewhere else on here (it probably is) but I think this is a pretty thought provoking article that more or less summarizes the failure of appreciation for the Z instead of the car itself when read from a driving enthusiast's POV...

"Considering that every other car in the segment has a back seat, the Nissan 370Z is at a tough disadvantage to the competition and this problem is compounded by the fact that a back seat isn’t something that you can just dial up. The company can lower the price or add more power but it is much more difficult to add a back seat – or a cargo area that is more readily accessible from the driver’s seat."

Absolutely pathetic

TBH I'd love to get another Z but given how much problems I've had since the first day, I feel hesitated. Too much buzzing/knocking/shaking, Nissan pays too little attention to details.

i like my Z, it looks good and drives good, but i think it's a little true... the back seat thing, i bought the car cause it was a two seater and i didn't want to drive anyone around. i just agree with the power output. i think they should have upgraded it at least a little bit and not left it the same since 2009. As some mentioned in the comments in that article nissan is hurting themselves with not fixing the common issues with the 370z. the csc being one of the biggest problems now. they should issue a recall and get it fixed. nissan being stingy and not wanting to fix that problem makes me not want to ever buy another nissan vehicle.
