Nissan has a habit of adding little features and/or fixing issues with their cars every year. There are only a very few exceptions when "holding out" might be logical (ie. Major mechanical or electrical problems). But that doesn't seem to be the case for the 370Z as of now. |

The biggest complaint I have was with the blind spot especially the driver side, I couldn't out that tiny window for the life of me no matter what angle, I could not see out that window. Other then that, I absolutely love the car but I will probably wait until the next 2010 models to come out and hopefully they will have fixed some of the gripes.

I brought that exact page to the first dealership I went to just to look at the car. The salesman brought out another options page and the aluminum pedals being a standard option on a base model wasn't marked. I, of course, asked why it was a standard option for the base model on the Nissan's website and he had no clue. Either there website is wrong(most likely) or they are not installing them on base models at the port...... or something like that. |

By the looks of the ballot, it appears that it is another case of "hanging Chads".

The lack of heated side mirrors on the touring model is pretty weird especially given the absence of a rear window wiper too. I understand that the 370 is a sports car but I mean come on, my 350 has heated side mirrors and a rear wiper. Those are safety features in bad weather so at least give me the option to add them in Nissan! Not trying to put the 370 down; I like it and it will most likely replace my 350 in the Spring anyway but there are little things like that that just don't make much sense when talking about a fully loaded CAD 50K car...

I have a 7AT and I have some complaints regarding the transmission shifting from 1st to 2nd and also from 2nd to 1st. For example, sometimes the car will be really jumpy when I'm lightly accelerating in the parking lot or accelerating from a stoplight. In the other hand, the transmission feels like it completely disengages when I let off the gas around 20-30mph'ish.
Also, there was an instance where I floored the gas to switch lane and the transmission just totally didn't engage. The car barely accelerated and the tachometer hit 9k+. Is this just a misshift or something or I should look into it? |

Wow I just finished reading al the pages of this thread and I must say... You guys are spoiled lol I am coming from an 07 s2000 and we had 0 heated features, road noise is a B1TCH (try listening to the radio on a rainy day lol), and we didnt have tilt or telescoping steering wheel or nav or anything of the sort.
The s2000 was a 30K+ car too. I have the next PW touring fully loaded that is coming to the states with my name on it. I have about a week till it gets here and I have driven both the base and the touring with and without sport packages and I must say I am impressed enough to trade in my S2k for one. The Glare people talk about on the gauges is not bad at all either. I think the baby's need to go suck their thumbs cause it could be "a true sports car" and come base model like the s2k and no options! All in all this is a great car dispit a few little gripes here and there with peoples personal preferences. |

^^ Hey Bullitt, whereabouts in Duluth are you? I live in Lawrenceville. I bet we're not that far from each other.
