So how do you like your Z?

FairmanZ · 02-16-2009, 09:30 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, 10:09 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 · 02-16-2009, 11:10 PM

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, 09:21 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.

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.

arcticreaver · 02-18-2009, 03:59 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!!!
