I got the 370Z trying to be reasonable in my expectations. It has significantly exceeded those in the performance area. As to the rest, I was expecting it to be a sports car. Noisier than some cars, yes, but not intrusively so for me. It's not gadget-laden, but is very functional (sport-tourer) and has a sufficient number of amenities to make it generally commensurate with modern sports cars.

My first Z was a 240Z and my last one before this 370Z was a 280ZX Turbo. By the time I got the Turbo, the Z had gone far from the sports car category and become a bloated GT luxo-cruiser. I lost interest in the platform. Thirty years later, the 370Z goes back to my expectations of a performance sports car and I am completely happy with it.
