If you had to do it over again, would you still buy the 370z??

I raise the hood every weekend and just stare at the engine, admiring it's lovely lines and compactness.
Fun to drive, fun to mod, sexy to look at too.

Now I want a red one, didn't get a black one I've had a black car already it's lots of work.
Oh yea, its not so common also. Man, how many vetts do you see now? I love em but too many.

If you guys had to do it over again should you get the 370z again?? if not why not?
Yes I would.

I accidentally got between two cars, I believe road racing. Lead car was a Lexus 350. I was driving and they were racing. I needed little to no brakes on a winding road while they were fully engaged. If I was racing too, then the Lexus should have been blue flagged.

The is350 is no Z by a long shot.

I am off to the track today, so I can race legally and sanely.

I really like my Z, but my user title says it all.

I felt the same way about the ride and noise. Being an old guy myself I found the car to be overly "twitchy", noisey and it rode as if it had wooden tires. The first thing I did this year was put on a set of Michelin AS +. The difference is night and day. I don't drive her that hard so do not notice any performance difference, but the ride is about 50% quieter, it's smooth as glass, and I don't need to fear road imperfections or expansion joints anymore. Now I'd probably get another....last year I would not have.

Absolutely. Haven't had mine long but since I love it more and more every single day I have it, I can only be led to believe that this would be an absolute yes.

Having just recently purchased mine (Dec '12) I'd honestly say that I wish I'd have bought it sooner.

Anyone with leather grey interior have any regrets? It's hard to keep clean and the seats are starting to show creases in it. I should have went with cloth interior

Your '09 is just starting to show creases?! Wow. Pretty good I'd say. My Acura started showing creases after my first drive. This interior is superior to many luxury class cars I've seen in sub $60k range.
