The visability sucks, as you all warned. I didn't care about the stereo, but the controls on the steering wheel are a nice touch. Nice steering wheel and I like how the tilt adjusts the gauge cluster as well. The road noise didn't bother me. The car is not small. The front end looks and feels huge. Maybe I just need to get use to it, but I'm 5-7. Keb, how tall are you?

The 370Z is 5.5 inches wider than my Civic, but it's 8 inches shorter in length.
It will fit in my garage, but I'll need to be careful.

These are merely observations, not complaints. I enjoyed the car. It smelled so nice. Interior is so nice. The cloth seats were beautiful and comfy. Even the carpet in the hatch area was so smooth. It has a full size spare, and plenty of room for my groceries. But where can I store a quart of oil?

The dealer wanted to sell me the car tonight and go with their financing. I declined as I'm using my bank in the morning. The GTI is a better DD. The angel on my left shoulder is telling me to get the GTI...and the devil on my right shoulder is telling me to buy the f--king Z already. I really wish I could buy both.
