Newbier to the Z Family

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

themann strikes again!

OP, first I'd recommend getting the Z soon if you do opt to buy one. Obviously the supply of new Z's to this country is questionable until the Japanese recover from the disaster there.

I think you'll find the following as you read through the forum:

Pros:
Looks/styling
Handling
Ample power (especially after 3k rpms)
Highway MPGs
Options for modifications (some will debate me on this)
Shear fun factor

Cons:
Road noise
Low power compared to American muscle
Clutch grabs high and makes lots of noise
So-so sound system
Poor customer service experienced by some

I have a Touring, and really love the seats and other amenities. I wish I had a LSD like the sport owners do, and plan to add one soon.

Good luck with the decision

the Z is the most bang for the buck

if you worry about gas prices don't bother as the z sucks down premium

stock, the EPA thinks you might get 18 MPG city

but if you enjoy it you may get less

you want the sports package

search the site

im looking for exactly that...'More bang for my buck' ...for you drivers out there. im still thinking about the base model simply because i dont want to pay more when i can add to it later on you know? if i get one, ill buy the base model then add more to it if i decide to.... what do you guys mean when you say its "loud" like how loud is loud? some people can tolerate noise better than others, it really all depends... what ....as for the Mileage and this is my Toy car.. my fun car.. but still wanted decent gas mileage for it, i wanted to pay the car off i have now (hyundai accent..gets 35mpg so gas that answers the gas thing) and keep that for say, driving to and from work everyday (3-4days a week) and then when i get off and on my days off i could drive it then... my weekend car, my show stopper, my go getter, whatever you want to call it, enojoying the car for itself for what it is not ..... souped up or not, base model is fine. still looks like 'Pure sex' to me lol no girl will want to go into detail about the car..(that much anyway) and i dont plan on racing it lol if i do get it....

ALSO.... on the weather note...... how does it do in rain, sleet, snow.....exc...
