Had my 370Z 2 months now .......

Gratters · 03-13-2014, 08:53 PM

Love it love it love it and that's coming from an M3 and everyone telling me I was mad. Hasn't got the torque of the M3 but quick enough away for me not to really notice it.

Couple of annoyances - the really shocking poor visibility but then I had been warned about that so I just accelerate hard away from slip roads!! haha but what twit put the heating knob behind the gear stick ? (auto) so you have to reach over or around the gear knob, any drink in the holder is completely in the way and boy oh boy what's with the floor mats ? am I missing a locking device or something because they just move everywhere. They seem to just sit on two prongs and come off within seconds. I have to adjust them every time I get in it. Oh and the boot release is pants !

Small annoyances aside, I do love the car, performance better than I thought, corners like a mad thing, I still haven't reached its limits because its handling is still surprising me.

Might want to explore a few subtle upgrades (non boy racer type but more classy) - anyone know a good UK based bodyshop specialist outlet ?

Can't help you on shops in your area but I'm glad your loving your Z! Those gripes are silly! You will get over it.

Yeah, invest in a pair of those little mirror stick-on things. Aren't the most attractive but work. And also invest in WeatherTech floor liners...awesome.

And congrats.

Visibility does suck vs other cars.

My floor mats do not slide.

Yes your floor mats should hook on to a little nipple to avoid this. Visibility blows haha. Ain't that the truth.

My floor mat holders have little nubs so the mat doesn't pop off.

^^^^looks really clean Doc^^^

OP, you'll get over those silly gripes in no time and your mats shouldn't move at all once they are hooked onto the nubs.
