Zero complaints - there are too many things I love about the car to start nitpicking the minor things that are bothersome to me.

My biggest complaint is the lack of "What Oil Should I Buy?" and "What Tires Should I Buy?" threads on this forum.

I agree, but if I lived in NYC I'd probably decide it was worth it

My complaint is that I don't drive it enough.

My other complaint is it is so much fun I have to force myself to drive legally on the streets...

And ya maybe they should have done something about the rear tire road noise they knew the 350Z had...

My pants get tight when I drive the 370 in a spirited manner.

LOL. Car doesn't go fast enough for the water to fly off when I'm trying to park my car though.

My fuel gauge seems to go down very, very quickly.

But at least you get 'Smiles per gallon' to compensate

I'm going to create a little sticker and put that over the gauge instead.

Not to worry after a while you will conform to the seat, I had the same issue, now I don't, just have these funny lookin dents in my thighs. They could have put a in bit more padding. It was built for the Japanese people that are a bit more narrow than us,, thank you McDonalds!!! LOL
The paint, as in all cars, now is a water based system,, it is what it is.. My second set of tires, I went with the Bridgestone 760 sport, a bit quieter
And as far as you, it's not the height it's the width. I guy said to me one day Hey you have a 370 I said yeah how did you know,,, he said you have the same dents in your legs as I do.. LMAO merry Christmas Bluefiend

My Z/28 gets 6 to 8 miles a gallon without driving it hard...Driving hard it is gallons per mile...

My 370Z feels like a Prius to me as far as MPG...

Not sure if it's been mentioned....hell, I may have mentioned it along time ago...old thread brought back to life.

If the tank has less than half a tank of gas. On a very hard right hand turn, (a highway on ramp) the engine will cut out.

There is a thread on this, but wanted to note again here, probably for the hundredth time though.
