I have owned an 09 Touring/Sport package since Sept. 09 and it is a daily driver. About 44,000 miles so far. It is a lot of fun, plenty of power, very nimble and with good brakes. I don't track it. No problems at all to date, just routine maintenance. It is comfortable to drive for long trips but I find the road noise to be so excessive that it really takes away the fun of going for a fast cruise and enjoying some music. Forget about a conversation with a passenger and even with the Bluetooth people on the other end can barely hear you unless you shout. Nissan should have added some soundproofing and all leather interior instead of those cheezy Alcantara inserts.
I may have Dynamat installed and have it reupholstered if I decide to keep it much longer. But I do miss the luxury of my previous G35 coupe, the sunroof and a usable trunk. Depending on what the next gen Z and next gen Infiniti G coupe are like I will probably sell my 370 and go with one of those. The Z's shortcomings could be easily solved at the factory level without adding substantially to the cost.
