You could tell they didn't like to drive it much compared to other cars in their fleet. They didn't blog about it as much as the other cars too. |

Hello...still trying to decide what car to replace my 2000 I30 with. Torn between the G37 or the Z.
Thanks for the link to the review....but man they sure came down hard on the cabin noise! I noticed that they had the sports upgrade. Do you think the noise is from the tires that come with the Sports Package????? What is the difference in tires (size and brand) between the regular Z and the Z with the Sports Package? And do those here with the Sports upgrade notice more noise than those without it? Thanks |

I have an 09 370Z and don't know what road noise they are talking about. Yes, there is some, after all it's a sports car not a Caddy...hello. If i don't want ANY road noise all i have to do is crank up the Bose stereo.

"Didn't get the sticker fuel milage in out tests... It apparently can vary with how it's driven". No Sh*t?
Consumer Guide also marked it down for being "tight inside" and having a "firm ride". Couldn't recommend. For who... grandma? The thing is a true sport car that can G the panties off grandma. Hopfully she won't buy one. Firm ride... jeeez. |

Look, I've heard it all, and to be truthful, my conclusion is the same after hearing it all, as it was when I decided to buy this beauty. I just love my 2010 370Z Roadster. Period! It is a beautiful automobile, and I can't tell you how happy I am to have one of my own.
I like to see all the mods some of you are doing to your Z, glad to see you're having so much fun with it, that's what it's supposed to be, been there done that myself. But personally, I don't want to change one thing about my Z. I got the Roadster with Touring with Nav, carpets and mud guards. I got just what I wanted, and I like it just the way it is. I love driving the Z, I LOVE the sound - and what some call "noise," the look, the handling, the ride, the feel, and maybe most of all, just looking at, and admiring her. I haven't driven MINE yet, but I have driven a friends 2010 Z Coupe a few times, and have taken many rides as passenger as well. Initially, I was very interested in the reviews, and for the most part, they've all been positive about the 370Z, and I was glad to hear that, but I have so much to look forward to, that I don't want to waste my time looking back, just forward, preferably with plenty of great roads in front of me. I still like watching all the video's though! Just to address this sound thing. I have owned muscle cars, and I have owned sports cars. To me, the 370Z has combined the best of both cars into one. (maybe not to everyone, but it is to me) The hungry growl, that turns into a beastly roar when it needs to, is music to my ears. The Porsche has a nice sound, but too much of a sports car sound to suit me. The Mustang has that old throaty muscle car sound, but that's too muscle car for me. The Z has it all, in my book. So, let's not forget what a great automobile we have, no matter what someone else may say. When you have a car as great as the 370Z, who cares anyway?! And Edmunds.... have a nice day........boyz! . . |

City and some small amount of highway driving combined, I'm at 17.8 mpg. I think the only time I saw even close to 26 (supposed highway driving) was going 55 mph in 6th gear at less than 2k RPMs. And even then my gauge only showed 22 mpg or something. Don't get me wrong, I don't care if this thing gets 9 mpg, I'm driving it every day regardless.

Just maybe the 370Z is too much car for those boys. What real man would whine when she digs her nails into his back and screams fire when she's pushed hard!! Maybe they're more comfortable reviewing the fart-can's! You know, like attracts like........ LOL

My 09 370z is not noisey. I don't know who these people are with the hyper sensitive ears? I WANT to hear my car. If I wanted a living room couch with wheels I would have bought one.
The Z is my 6th new car that I've owned. It's not the noisiest and not the quietest. It's average. However, the noise that's there is not unpleasant or difficult to drive with on long trips. It sounds great. Hell alot of Z owners upgrade the exhaust systems to get more HP and the net result is even more noise. What's important to you? What a bunch of whining p*ssies at edmunds. I'm really tired of it and all the other standard complaints. It's a $40k sports car competing with (and beating) cars at more than twice the price. Shut up. |
