Boy....It is good.....No it is bad......No it is good....no it is bad...
I have a 2009 and I won't be checking the Oil all the Time, and i won't be looking at the temp gauge.. I will just keep the tank full of gasoline as i always do with my other cars.. Since i just bought the car, I don't know if it has any issues.. If it has Oil consumption problems, the Dealer will change the engine when it blows up.. And i bought a bumper to bumper warranty for all the other BS... I am hoping for the best, but i will not baby the car or check it's Diaper every week.. If it blows, the dealer will fix it and they include a free rental car. I LOVED my 2004 350Z, and I love the 370Z so far..i just have too much to worry about , to baby a newer car.. I have no complaints and if they happen, then I will deal with it..But I will not be checking and re checking the car.. If it blows....Oh well..And the Oil temp....I won't be watching the gauge... nice that they put one in, but a digital speedo would have been better.. The car better hold up, but I cannot worry about it...It is only a car, and it is only Money.. Sure i want it to be as bullet proof as my 350Z..If it ends up that it is not...Then i will deal with it then..It would only force me to buy something better, and that wouldn't be a bad deal...Costly ? Yes, i would take a financial hit, but again, it is only money.. Pampering the car is not going to happen...I just hope for the best..If it blows....it goes... Since i have Heart and brain issues, a Car is just a pimple in Life...But I do hope my 370z does not cause me grief, but again, a Brain or a heart is Wayyyyy more of an issue in the bigger picture of life..

This is how you know for sure C**k Rider magazine is blowin smoke to help other brands. What nissan did wrong was that they are too cheap to pay off a magazine. They'll secretly add an oil cooler that isn't stock for a better review, but they won't pay for one... The Z doesn't have anymore TSB's than any other sports car Co*k Rider reports is polishing off corporate sponsors. This is why I now go to you tube for reviews from enthusiast mags that can't afford or aren't smart enough to make million dollar deals yet. They know cars, and they speak on a level I can relate. Mazda, honda and hyundai get rode hard on CR. BMW is shyt reliable and they say it. But they would never call it a horrible car for resale... meanwhile, my Z is holding more value than bimmers, G's and benz's when I visit the dealer. Bad buy? They are talking about steering, lock, oil, fuel starve... but even still. These issues are easily overcome except fuel starve but that's the rarest one. Take them with a grain of salt. CR sponsored by... magnumb, do it big. Anal eazee. When doing it big, prevent getting ripped Hondo, mazdo and BWM. We pay to be the best. |

Funny i never read the reviews on the 350Z but other than a window regulator, and the hatch shocks, that 350Z was bulletproof..
So I guess i won't read the review and just drive the piss outta the 370Z...I will be the test dummy... Or a happy owner.. News at eleven...Or at least I will let you know later this Summer..Too late now, the car is in the garage, flirting with the Z/28.. The Z/28 will have to catch it first.... And apparently ,that won't be an easy task....I love it...Let the games begin...

And resale ? BMW's and benz just drop like rocks as far as resale..
So best bang for your buck ? I am hoping the 370Z fits the bill... Again, I cannot take the money with me, so Driving something fun is HIGH on my list...MPG ? Who cares....It is all about the fun factor for me.. And Z's have that fun factor... If it turns out to be a lemon, i will paint it yellow...haha You guys are informative and funny...Way more info here on this forum than any douche bag magazine or the liars at the service department.. Thanks for all the info..i may not like some of what i hear, but that's life...Pedal down, and traction control off...
