I drove my 350 for more than 18 months and didn't notice any significant outside noise level, maybe because the stereo was always loud. I did notice the freaking inside rattle of the 350.
I have not driven the 370 enough to make any kind of positive or negative comment on the noise level.

yes, my 350Z does have a few annoying interior rattles.
then again it has 77000 miles on it with no mechanical problems thus far (besides initial oil consumption that resolved on its own). I am hoping to drive it for another year before making the jump to a 370Z. |

Yeah, I need to get a catback exhaust and HFC for mine. It is too quite it compare with my 350.

Little annoyances can't eradicate a "Much Better Than Average" reliability record (according to CR). Engine, transmission, cooling system, body integrity, brakes, etc., are just excellent in both 370s & 350s. Relax, and ignore Edmunds' ratings.

Well that would mean that you don't have the 2004.5 model year. I hear they are issues free.

1. The 370 is louder than the 04 Altima 3.5 I upgraded from for the most obvious of reasons, but even that car wasn't "quiet." Edmunds must be looking for highway lux and long distance comfort, b/c I would imagine that most buyers of larger engines in their class and sportier cars want a little something from the engine and exhaust system as part of the driving experience.
2. I'll take a moderately and pleasantly loud Z over the neighbor's raspy fartcan any day of the week 3. I don't have Sport upgrade and I'm guessing my 18 wheel tire package would be somewhat quieter than the 19s to start. But, will soon see how a CB will change that up...

I just saw another post from Edmunds today on Inside Line saying they are annoyed with the exhaust note and road noise. I agree with the exhuast critique, definitely lost that sweet stock sound the old VQs had. But I'm sick of everyone talking sh** on it. I threw on BERK HFCs and a Stillen CBE and is sounds AWESOME! Problem solved, perfection achieved.
Regarding the noise, it's a damn sports car! You're meant to feel and hear the road. I had a 04 Touring 350Z that felt stiffer and louder. That said, a good buddy of mine had a 06 Enthusiast 350Z that I drove several times and it was completely different - softer ride, quieter and lighter clutch... even more so than the 370Z. |

Well just having done a 1600 mile trip from GA to TX I think I can comment on this with some facts. I am coming from an Audi TT that was fairly quiet on road noise. The Z does have alot of road noise and on certain roads where the material is rough it is loud, on newly smooth paved roads its ok. If you dont like road noise then you wont like it but if road noise doesnt bother you then it wont bother you. I had the music loud all the time as I was alone for the trip but I could still hear the noise to a degree on certains roads.

In 2004, I bought a v-6 Honda Accord Coupe 6 speed, and the clutch was so firm that I had to get a cortisone shot and physical therapy on my left knee. I immediately sold the car! I thought I was driving a truck!
