Also, the mention of flimsy aluminum doors.

My question is what's wrong with the doors? I was glad to learn they were aluminum. Lighter weight, no rust, and I do not see where they come across as flimsy. My doors on my 2010 370Z Roadster feel as solid as could be. I'm very happy with them. Not to trash the Miata, it's a sharp little car, but our doors are so much more beautiful than the Miata's. To me, tthey really contribute to the overall style appeal of the 370Z.

I have had my Z since November last year, and have almost 8k miles on it. I absolutely love her, but I do have 3 complaints:

1. The paint chips insanely easily. Take a small rock to the hood and chances are good a chip happens. My POS Chevy Aveo daily driver chips less.

2. The lights for the AC and Climate control are on the dash below the dials. You have to bend your neck down to see if they are on. Yea... pretty picky, but in an otherwise excellent interior, this is the one stupid thing.

3. Oil Tempature is high. I have not tracked the car, but this summer on long drives the oil temp is 230-240 with the cruise control set at 80. I personally would like to see it 20 degrees less. Looks like a small oil cooler is in my future.

What isn't wrong with the 370z's door should be the question. They just don't thud when you close them, which must mean they are flimsy and weak. Personally if I would do it all over again I would never buy the Z because the build quality of the door just is subpar.

See this thread for more reasons why.

Our car's door doesn't thud simply cause there is no sound deadening... The car has no sound deadening anywhere which makes the car "feel" tinny... silly people...

Thanks for the hint. While this isn't a very searchable topic, searches for cons, issues and problems returned some very useful threads.

Seems the 370Z has quite a few annoying problems (that the NSX didnt' have new), but nothing very serious.

No deadening = lighter car = faster car!

The NSX has some of the best paint ever, and its nose chips quite a bit. I think it is just due to having a low, angled nose - easy target for rocks.

After I bought my house I realized I had hollow core doors instead of solid doors. When I go to slam my doors during an argument the same level of drama just isn't there.

I think I'm going to return my house.

If you get a hard on for solid doors, go buy a Mercedes G Wagen. Those have some fantastic doors.

:tiphat:

For the price Miata doors can't be beat!

My Miata's doors don't make any noise at all. I welded them shut.

mine got bigger or maybe just harder when Im in it.

I know when I'm near a miata with its big strong doors, I get bigger and harder

Find find myself uncontrollably fondaling the handles when ever I go by one.

I stuffed by Z's doors with aborted babies so that they would better be able to take impact.

But do they sound as solid as the miatas doors?

Nothing sounds as solid as miata doors. We just bask in the shadow of their glory.

I sacrfice 12 year old virgins that I kidnap in hopes it will make my Zs doors thud when I close them. So far, no dice. I'll be back trolling the playground tomorrow.
