New Guy Questions ? Advice or Opinions

TACTICLY · 02-04-2010, 06:52 PM

I am considering ordering a 370z sport touring. With the exception of the first car I owned which was a used toyota I have never owned a Japanese car Only german cars. I sell very End Autos as a my employment, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls and Lambo in NYC. Any of You Guys german car fans ? and how would You compare the z to those cars especially with Improvements ? Seems when I open the door of a z or sit in the car the quality does not hit me. Please all opinions welcome.

Obviously, the overall interior and exterior quality of the Nissan 370Z is no match for high priced exotics, nor should one expect it to be. However, for $30-$40K, I can't think a better sports car in terms of overall quality and driving experience.

Sounds like you're a candidate for a T/S/N

That's Touring/Sport/Nav

The Touring trim will give you Leather, Heated/Power Seats, Bose.
The Sport Package will give you Brakes, Wheels, SRM (if you get a 6MT) and a VLSD.

You'll love it. Try to talk to your dealer about a weekend test drive. It'll be hard with a top tier Z, but you never know. I'd bet you fall in love.

I'm from Europe and moved to the US a couple of years ago, so I know European cars quite well.

What you could call somewhat less refined in the 370Z compared to European cars is actually a good thing. It supports the driving experience much more then being in a car where steering, suspension, chassis, sound is all build for comfort and therefore feels a lot more numb.

It's hard to describe, but let's say you'll feel more alive driving this car then you would driving most European cars. (in its price range)

also don't forget the z won't need to spend half the time in the dealership service department being fixed like most of those "high end" autos you sell
