I feel like there is a lot of favoritism going on here for the 370 - some well deserved and some not so much.

1) Yes, the 370 interior is miles above the 350 in terms of quality.

2) If you're not picky, the 350 interior is still better than most cars in the price range.

3) IMO, the 350 engine (VQ35DE, 03-05 models) actually feels torquier down low than the 370 engine. The 370 pulls more above 4k rpm.

4) I had an 04 and never had tire feathering issues, transmission issues, or any sort of issues whatsoever. I owned it for a year and a half, put 25000 hard-driven miles on it, with 8 track weekends and 4 autocrosses. This translates to more than 23 hours on track - and I was NEVER easy on the car. Never a single issue.
