What's your biggest beef with your 370z/any other car?

Majestik · 04-15-2010, 06:30 PM

I don't like how it doesn't float very well...

biggest beef gots to be the blind spots..

Gaiiden · 04-15-2010, 09:15 PM

what are people talking about with blind spots?? Turn your mirrors OUT for driving and IN for backing up. With mirrors out when the front end of a car vanishes from my rear view mirror, it appears in my side view mirror. With the mirrors in you can use them to see your car clearance and anything near you. I've never had a problem with visibility, and I back into nearly every spot I take

So how far out are you talking? Do you see any of the rear quarter panels in your mirrors? I have mine set so I barely see them. I know the rule is to set your mirrors so you see the back corners but maybe you have it figured out.

Why do you need to see any of your car?

I see the very tip, maybe.

Nikon FM · 04-15-2010, 11:41 PM

My biggest beef is it seems no one has a clue about working on the car. Most dealerships in my area are especially clueless.

edconline · 04-15-2010, 11:46 PM

Paint. At first blind spots too but like Gaiiden said, as soon as you set your mirrors out all the way you can make it so between the rearview/side mirrors there is no place for other cars to hide. Not that I can see out my windows anymore after the tint went on today LOL.

steveg78 · 04-16-2010, 12:00 AM

Damn drivers ed course 15yrs ago. If I remember anything distinctly, it was that we were told that we should see a small portion of the back corners. Now it looks like that info is dated. I feel old. I will have to try turning them out more next time.

shifter should be shorter
beautiful three pod gauge on the dash with one wasted on a damn clock WTF!!!

My PG paint is flawless, but I put on a clear bra and three coats of Zaino really early.

In-cabin noise issue fixed with convertible top and GReddy exhaust.

Stilts issue will be addressed soon -- agree this car could be lower.

Rear visibility issue fixed with convertible top and heavy right foot on accelerator.

Shifter height issue fixed with B&M short shifter.

Agree with 1/3 of pod gauges being stupid.

Rock on.

I seriously don't understand why people complain about the road noise. I commute 40 miles a day and yes, on certain bumpy parts of the freeway I can hear more road noise than usual but on regular roads it's almost as quiet as my 335i. It actually rides better too. My 335i has the sport package with 18" Potenza RE050 Run Flats, boy do those ride rough.

My ONLY complaint about the 370Z is that there is no back up camera, come on now....40K car with navigation and no backup camera with limited rear view visibility like this? You gotta be kidding me? I also wished the 3rd gauge pod on the dash was something other than a clock, maybe a G meter or something cool.

Other than that, there is absolutely nothing else I can complain about

370Z JT · 04-16-2010, 12:59 AM

stupid front/rear bumper and side skirts do not match 100% with rest of the body! grr!

I love that clock, my old Mustang had a clock on top of the dash, always real convient to look at. No matter how silly it may seem that clock on top of the dash is one of my favorite features. A G Meter or 1/4 mile timer or something would be a B.A. feature in the message center, whats the point of that little digital clock in there?

I can only afford one

I completely lost a foxbody mustang one night last fall. Completely...

And my mirrors won't go out any further...click...click...click...

If you have the navigation package, you have that clock right above (just a few inches) a digital clock on the nav panel. That's what people are bitching about. It's stupid to have two clocks in one car... it's even dumber to have them so close together.
