My 09 w/ Touring & Sports package is a daily driver. It's a true sports car when I want it to be and I really don't have complaints about the performance. I don't track it but have seen the oil temp hit 230 on the freeway doing about 85 MPH in 95 degree weather so I may add an oil cooler next year anyway.
This is all Nissan needs to do in my IMNSHO:

- All leather interior instead of the leather & alacantara or whatever that fake suede crap is called. It would look 100% better. I'll probably have mine reupholstered at a custom shop when it starts to show wear.
- Make the clock an analog clock with hands & face to match the other gauges
- Redesign the fuel & temp gauge pod for analog needles and a more pleasing cosmetic layout to better match the speedo & tach
- Add an interior hatch release button
- Tune the exhaust for a more pleasing note
- add some damn soundproofing to lower the noise level at freeway speeds

None of these would be expensive to implement. And I think the car would be as close to perfect as you could make it considering the overall value of a 370Z for the cost.
