Coming to the end of my lease on my '07 Z4, I really like the new Z4 but the price no longer makes sense (read - I can't afford it), so I'm looking seriously at the new 370z Roadster.

I just read the Oct Motor Trend comparison of 10 performance cars and the Nissan Nismo finished a dismal 7th. They hated the seats and the rear visibility, but what they marked the car down most severely for was the "tractor engine NVH" (noise, vibration and harshness) which they said was awful. At 5000 RPM's they said the vibration and noise was terrible.

I guess there are so few of these cars on the road that very few people have had a chance to try the car for themselves, but I would love to hear what others have to say.

The 3.7 liter engine is not new, so did this problem also exist with the coupe and/or the 350?
