370z Complaints so far?

Jmazz

My biggest complaint about the 370z is that I can't drive it because I'm deployed. Can't wait to see her when I get back! Oh and my wife too

It doesn't go into reverse, I have to be very deliberate going from 4th to 6th or the shifter catches the edge of what I can only guess is the reverse gate. 3rd to 5th is no issue. In general, I find 5th and 6th to be not as smooth as 1 through 4. After driving my CL for 8 years I got used to the feel and maybe still haven't adjusted. IMHO Nissan could learn something from Honda shifters.

Anyway, just my experience. Thanks for reading the post.

If you lived in Southern California you might feel differently. I have been ob the freeway surrounded by 6 prius',, it was creepy and they weren't part of a club I would feel the same if there were any car that populous... Sorry
Merry Christmas

The seat destroying your back. I've had moderate to severe back problems for nearly 16 years now, so I am interested. It's the entry and exit that bother my back more than anything - not the seat itself.

what bothers me is long drives... its a bucket seats so my lower back kills me im 20years old and i still get pain from it

I have been doing exercises specifically for this reason for the last 15 years. Consider looking into some back stretching exercises and doing them for 20 min about 30 min before you get in the car for a long drive. It helps tremendously, as I have never had the Z seats hurt any worse than any other car I've driven significant distances. I live in TX and on multiple occasions have put nearly 1K miles on a rental car in a single day without even leaving the state - 800 miles is the most I've put on the Z in a single day. Stretching is by far the best solution I've found.

What seats are they, The cloth or the leather? I have had no trouble with my leather seats.
This is a very good idea

dam thats not good, when you are older that will get worse, I actually think the Z seats arent that bad, they are comfortable compared to altima seats.

Z34 seats alot better than 05 & 06 seats...imo

Oh...and the heated seats make all the difference if any pain should arise.

doesn't the lumbar support help?

I have back pain all the time... But with the touring seats with the lumbar set to the max... I could drive for hours in my car... I did, lol, I drove from Dallas to LA, and I'd do it again, over and over, lol (my friends didn't believe me about the comfort until I drove it out, now they all agree I have the the nicest riding interior (most of them have RX7s))

My dad, even when he drives my car thinks it's comfy, he has REALLY bad back problems, and while he doesn't care for the roof being low or the pain to get in and out or even the leg bolsters, he likes the back support, and the seat heaters, although I JUST taught him about those

Sorry to hear that. That being said, however, the cloth seats in my '11 Z are by far the best I've come across. I drove a Cruze from Charlotte to DC (5.5 hrs) to pick up my Z and my shoulder socket was popping and I had a sharp pain just above my right hip. The drive home took 6.5-7 hrs in the Z and it was, no joking, 'just right'. I had no pains in my back, none in my shoulder. I'm 6'2", 173lbs. Maybe you can adjust the seat position or bottom dials a little better and not to just what feels good for the first 30 minutes (not certain that's the case).

I can only compare these seats to an 07 Civic, 05 Protege5, 05 Pontiac GTP, 95 Integra GSR, 96 Neon, 89 Bronco, 78 RamCharger, 04 Ram, 89 Lebaron, 89 Caprice, 91 Escort wagon, 78 LeMans, 78 LeSabre, 67 Pont.GTO, 54 Chevy (flatbed deuce and a half), '64.5 Mustang, 69 Mustang, and a few more I've owned.

I hope you don't have any further pains from the seats in the car and hope a solution is as simple as a re-adjustment. (seriously, some people never learned how to adjust their seat properly- hell, my fiance held her bright-light lever back towards her for years until I said she could just pop it forward and they would stay on. From that day, her nickname has been 'bright-lights').

GL!
