The Complete Package?

bigsix · 01-13-2012, 08:19 AM

For those of you 370z owners who've spent a lot of time with your cars...

Do you truly love your car or just like it? or hate it?

Is there a part of the car or driving experience that is the weak link? or can you say the 370z is the complete package?

Is the NVH bothersome after owning the car for a long time and/or driving it daily?

Thanks for your opinions

When I get off my motorcycle and get into the Z, I think I'm driving a Rolls-Royce. Perspective....

Same goes to me dude, coming off from an Evo 3. My Z feels like a whole different world

Since its not my daily driver, I really look forward to it. Its amazing to drive. The looks, the feel of it. No its not a luxury sedan, but very comfortable too.

It's the greatest car in the world. Not a single flaw

My only complaint is I occasionally take it for granted when I'm driving it in the summer as my DD. But then when I have to switch to my 97 Maxima beater, it makes it SO SWEET when I get back into the Z, and I fall in love all over again. The perspective somehow makes it an even better car.

My 2009 370Z is my daily driver. Although there are certain aspects of the car that can be improved (all of which have been discussed in various threads on the370z.com), I really love this car. Great performance, handling, interior comfort, and styling along with good gas mileage - what more would a reasonable person ask for?

As far as the noise issue goes, if you tend to drive on gravelly roads, roads with loose material (sand, pebbles, etc.), or rough roads then the interior noise is probably going to be unpleasant - although that can be tamed by adding sound deadening material such as Dynamat (also described in various threads on the370Z.com). I live in SoCal and I don't have a problem with noise in the passenger cabin.

All in all - after owning and using it as a DD for almost 3 years, I'm still pleased as all get out with my 370Z!

I love my Z, but I also own another car. I was disappointed with the room that my Z has like the week after I got it, but now, I have learned to love it.

esp your old one right?

OP, I am well aware of my car's shortcomings, (and have rectified most of them easily), BUT, I love my Z, it's a great car and it puts a smile on my face everytime I get behind the wheel, even if its' just to run to the grocery store and back.

I think the z is a great car for dd/cruising. I was actually (mostly) serious
