Potential Buyer Totally Turned Off

YoungTurk · 07-10-2010, 09:20 PM

Today I sat in a Z for the first time, a '10 Black Cherry Touring Sport with nav and manual transmission. The car was beautiful but I was totally turned off by the sound of the driver door closing. The door sounded thin and flimsy, and lacked the thunk sound of well- built cars. I walked away, the Z not for me.

Uhh, okay. Later.

kinda shallow to base a cars quality on the "sound" of its door closing. i can understand the feeling though, but i could never be dissuaded by this when you consider that the Z has more quality per square inch than most every other car in its price range, without exaggeration.

What the hell did you expect it to sound like, a tank? Trust me friend its plenty sturdy, and has a thud to it.

You drive a Miata and you think a Z feels thin and flimsy???

I also drive a Miata and think you're a little off base in your assessment.

My '09 GT PRHT is built like a tank man, solid, tight and well- screwed. The door to the Z didn't come close to inspiring that kind of confidence in it's build quality.

You just don't know what your talking about...lol

The Z has small doors because it's a 2 seater and it's aluminum.

You didnt hit a nerve we just dont agree with you. We like our cars just fine. U sir seem like a troll. u make an account on someone's forum just to **** on the car? lets get serious here. i could pick apart just about any car with that kinda mentality. eg. the rolls turn signal doesnt sound classy enough, the s class merc is not a limo when i expect it to be. the miata's roof is too slow and its got no power. anyways if its not for you its not for you. no need to reply and start s**t, mr troll

lol...okay

smooth closing doors means better research and development.

I suggest you buy a cavalier filled with crappy quality, the doors will be music to your ears.
