I'd never make a final purchasing decision based on reviews alone, mind you. Really I'm just looking for preliminary red flags. If I see a red flag, then I know not to waste my time with a test drive and dealing with salespeople. I'll give you an example. I was actually considering the G8 GXP as well as the 370Z. Then I read that the G8 has the annoying skip-shift feature that GM puts in so many of its cars. That right there told me I needn't bother with a test drive, because that's one 'feature' I wouldn't tolerate.

But like I said, whatever works for you. Different strokes, different folks.
Wow feel sorry for you....a tuner can take 50 buck and 5 minute to program that out or you can just rev past 3001 rpm and it will got to second or third..

The GXP is an extrordinary 4 door beast. with handling and braking to outdo the M3 the current M3 not the 335 turbo like m3..

A real car guy would know the skip shift hardly interferes....its for put puting around.. so you save gas..if you even 1/3 into the throttle it doesn't even activate.

I know GM's and the LSx 1-4 skip shift is more miniscul than the guage comment. of the 370Z
