Hey folks,
I went for a test drive the other day and I pretty much decided I will go for a 370Z 7AT fully loaded, except 18" wheels. I know in states We get 19"
I only know the brakes are 4 pistons in front and 2 at rear. No clue how big are the disc brakes.
1.Do you get paranoid by the Z for work, grocery, shopping, commute, etc
I wouldn't, it's the same price as most other cars. Anything under the 40K mark is a DD in my book.
2.Do you find the wind noise annoying from your trunk area?
On my test drives up to 100+, I never heard wind noise, however, the car does throw a bit of sand in the fender-well. In the rain it would probably "hiss". Not a problem if you are used to sports cars, if not, it might bug you.
3.Do you find your steering wheel a bit too heavy for a stock car?
No. Felt fine.
4.Do you find the blind spot very dangerous?
The 'vert has horrid blind spots, the coupe isn't too bad, but it is still not as nice as I would like as far as visibility. You could learn to overcome it though, it's not a deal-breaker.
5.Is the 370Z's trunk space practical?
Depends. You want groceries, or you want lumber?
6.Did you ever wanted rear seats and more space. Or should have bought a G37?
I had a Trans Am. Every now and then I wished I had real back-seats, but not enough to have wanted a different car. My next car will be a dedicated 2-seater. It depends, is this your only, or not? How often are you the driver when your friends and you go places? You hang out in small, or larger groups?
I already have a 997 so these are some of the concerns. Because Z will be my daily driver and I want it to be more comfortable then driving my 997 stick as a daily.
If you DD a 997, I wouldn't worry about DD'ing a 370Z from a door-ding/hate crime standpoint.
I have heard that the paint on a Z is more fragile than about anything else, though.
Thanks!
