No kidding. They are way too big. They're like friggin air brakes. I race Corvettes and have side mirrors half the size of these things.it has nothing to do with my height. I'm 6'1". It has to do with this giant mirror that I can't see around. You'll notice it next time you're in your 370.

I noticed the first time I test drove it a couple of years ago.

Down force ... that's my story and I'm sticken' with it.

The 350 mirrors looked much better. My friends and I joke that they are F150 mirrors!

Agreed. The 350 mirrors do look better. Craft Square is always a (sexy) option if one does not mind losing the electronics.

I want to eliminate the mirrors and just have little rear view camera instead.

I actually do have a 2nd complaint about this care, minor but still a disappointment. I bought a 2014 coupe with Sport package so I end up with the base radio which seemed fine to me.. AM-FM-CD with 4 speakers. That's how it's described by Nissan literature.. Fine with me. When I get the car I'm thinking the rear speakers aren't working. I go into the radio settings to see if the FADE setting is set correctly. It was, dead center (50% front-50% rear) THEN I realize the 4 speakers they speak of are all FRONTS, one in each door, 1 in each upper corner of the dash. Really? What a crappy set up that is....

...and my experience with the Bose set up is that the two tiny subwoofers over the spare aren't much help...

I feel your pain, yes the stock audio system really sucks. I had an 09 Z that had the base audio.. just bought a Touring model and the Bose stereo is 200% better!

Yup, thought and did the same thing. I dynamatted the doors and the base audio sounds better. I'm fine with it as I don't make the music loud at all. Listening to the engine/exhaust note while driving definitely makes me feel better.

I agree about the mirrors. When I first got the car I almost pulled out in front of a car at a 4 way stop just because I couldn't see him. I'm used to it now and pay close attention. They really are bigger than necessary though. Then again, I drive my girlfriend's Miata quite often and it's wing mirrors are too small.

Malm · 07-07-2014, 04:48 PM

My complaint is just with the gas prices. With the actual car? None really. I do wish the base model brakes were just a little nicer looking. Even on the 2014s, they look like they have been sitting in a bucket for years waiting to be used (which may not be far from the truth)
