Si to 350Z to 370Z
 
As the title states and in the section implied, new 370Z owner from Tampa, FL. I went from an 07 Si Coupe 6MT, then to an 07 350Z 6MT, and now an 09 370Z Touring 7AT. I have been looking at upgrading for quite some time and finally found the right one. This will be my first automatic car that I've bought and although I was hesitant at first, I've really grown to it after test driving it. 09 White 370Z w/ Navi, 51K miles @ $18K, and when they told me they would pay off my 350Z with no negative equity rollover (I was about $3K upside down), I decided to trade.

Will upload pics after a complete wash/detail.

Welcome and congratulations! :tiphat:

I, too, have an '09 Touring with the AT. First AT I've owned and I really like it. It shifts as quick and as hard as I need it to. Lot's of fun of with the flappy paddles. Although, sometimes I do miss rowing gears with a MT. :driving:

Yeah I def understand what you mean. In fact, I find that my left foot still looks for the clutch pedal before starting the car. At the same time though, since my job requires me to drive alot, i don't miss driving manual in rush hour traffic.

And I know the 370Z comes with a bit more power than the 350Z, but I was shocked at how noticeable the difference is.

This. Plus, Bluetooth, XM, and heated seats have all made my workdays a lot more enjoyable. I sometimes drive up to 100 miles per day meeting with clients. My previous ride was an '02 GT, which was loud and a blast to drive, but was about as bare bones as you could get. I viewed cruise control as my only luxury!

That was the case with my 07 Z, being a base model. The only reason why I decided to buy was bc of the HR engine, but didn't realize base models didn't even come with cruise control.

Nice! I'd like to drive a 7AT. I didn't want to go automatic this go around but I would assume they perform very well.
