So how do you like your Z?

FairmanZ · 02-16-2009, 10:30 PM

I don't have one yet, but I'm dying to hear your stories. So 370Z owners, how do you like your cars?

ZforMe · 02-16-2009, 11:09 PM

Sucks balls, I especially hate all the stares and points.

Of course I'm kidding. IT'S BOSS. (only had mine 3 days)

FairmanZ · 02-17-2009, 12:10 AM

Perhaps I should have been more specific. So what are the some of the little things that you love about it or new things discovered during the time you've had it?

After a little over 600 miles (3 weeks) I am very much enjoying the car. Aside from the power, handling, other driving dynamics, it gets quite a bit of attention. I have had kids leaning out of cars to take pictures, all kinds of questions, overall a very positive response to the car.

The 6 speed manual is fabulous, engaging and fluid. I am getting more and more used to the SRM system and drive with it on all the time now, which did take a bit of getting used to.

I have even gotten pretty good gas millage out of it so far, averaging about 25mpg.

Even though I have a non-touring, I plug in my iPhone via AUX and have access to my library which is a welcome item.

No complaints from me thus far

I've had mine for 5 days, put just over 600 miles on it and I love it. The ride is great, it's fun to drive (especially when you occasionally give it a little gas and watch traffic disappear). My 2 complaints with the car so far are the sound system, which I just expected to be abit better, and the blind spots. The blind spots arent too bad while driving as long as you're observant, but when backing out of a spot or something it can be difficult to see traffic coming your way.

I love the attention you get from driving it, the compliments I've gotten on the car and everyday when I walk outside and see it sitting in my garage it makes me smile. You can't ask for much more than that.

Just so you know which sound system I have, I got the Touring Model with I belive almost every option (didnt get the aero kit), but got Nav, etc.

I live in a neighborhood where I can walk to almost anything I need. Now I need to move at least 10 miles out.

Drhemepath · 02-17-2009, 10:21 PM

I have now had mine for five weeks. I love it. The car is very responsive.

I also don't mind haveing everyone else on the road stare as I drive by.

I've had mine for about 5 weeks and put on ~2400 miles as of this AM. The only real gripe I have is that the mirrors obstruct my vision when turning or checking left/right before rolling away from an intersection. Part of this may be that I'm 5'5" - LOL. Other than that, I'm still grinnin' like the day I drove it off the lot.

I have had mine about 5 weeks and put around 1850 miles on it. After having 5 Zs I just feel like they got this one right. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed each and every Z I have owned, but my 1991 Twin Turbo is my favorite, I've had it forever and won't sell it. My 370Z is the only other one that I have liked as much as the 91. the others were fun cars but just needed this or that, etc. kind of left a little to be desired. The 370 is a very complete car, great looking and very good performance. My 91 may have found a permanent companion.

arcticreaver · 02-18-2009, 04:59 PM

it's my first Z and i'm in love with it. i'm not really use to how low the car is. this is my second car and my first was a scion xa. so i'm driving extra careful to not scratch the bottom part of my car, but i've scratched it a few times. SH!T!!!

Nice to hear that, the Z32 twin turbo was always my favorite Z too. Never owned a Z before, I chose a new '93 RX-7 twin turbo over the Z32 back in the day, but still admired the Z. But this new Z34 will likely be the first Z to truly win me over, as I do intend to buy one within the next 6 months or so.

I've had mine for just over a week and the only thing I'm not happy with has been the weather around here. The snow and heavy fog one morning have been killing me and has meant leaving the car in the garage more than I'd like.
