I do love my but there are a few things . . .

Regarding problems, my hatch sticks in cold weather, it pops up but doesn't completely release, you have to press the button again. One of the cargo hold downs broke after 1 1/2 years and I wasn't even trying to bungee down a Buick, just my work bag.

For dislikes, there are a few . . .
Agree with the comments about the seats. I wish the bottom had more adjustment range and was slightly longer (I'm 5'10" - 170 lbs.). That said, drive an S2000 sometime, holy crap, talk about tight. The side bolsters will poke holes in ya!

I hate (I know, such a strong word) auto headlights so the fact that Nissan doesn't put the auto position at either end makes me crazy.

Even more, I hate (there I go again) the auto dash lights, please just give me a day/night button, I can handle it, really !

Car should have a telescoping steering column.

The gate for 5th and 6th gears could use some work. It is hard to skip 5th and not hit the reverse gate. Maybe it's the reverse gate that could use a tweak.

Still love my Z.

Complaint: I can't see the outside of my car when driving. So, I'm jealous of my fiance. Every day, when she leaves for work, she gets to see my car. And, every day, when she returns home, she gets to see my car. They're a hard find around here so I don't get the opportunity to see them on the road as much as she does.

If you drove a prius would wouldn't be saying that, they are like cockroaches, they're everywhere.. I like being the rare breed

I agree. My complaint is that I cannot see my car while driving. I see maybe 1 370Z every 2 weeks, if that.

I guess I could drive by a large series of shop windows at night when the interior lights are out, or a series of mirrored shop windows.

My only complain about the Z is Im having a hard time driving it slow .

I HATE that it just take for a few seconds to reach 60 to 100miles/hr then I had to slow down again to maintain the speed limit of 70miles.

Cruise control is such a bore.

I wish there's a autobahn over here.

Seats do suck, i was sitting my boss's porsche, and i loved how low and sporty the seats were.

Visibility is not a problem since i'm passing everyone anyways, panoramic side mirrors would be cool tho.

Clock gauge should have arms to match other gauges instead of numbers.

An analog clock would have looked classier
