Its got to be the oil dipstick!!! My 350Z dipstick was like a long wet peice of spaghetti, don't know how many countless times I would miss the hole putting it back in even with the little triangle shaped guide. My 370Z dipstick is now much more rigid and its in the front!!!

Funny, with my 350Z, I never checked the Oil because it did not burn any..Regular Oil changes were all that was needed..Now I have to watch the Oil in my 370Z like a new born baby...

Did the early 350Z suffer from oil consumption?

i need to lay down a small flashlight on the G's strut tower to see the G's dipstick guiding rails on the side of the engine. it's rather clumsy.

on the 370Z, i just pull up without even needing to wipe to read the indicators. very nice indeed.

Interior, doesn't feel so darn noticeably plasticy. Made me not want the Z until I got into a 370z.

Yeah, everything. From the interior (especially cars with navi) to the transmission, to the motor, to the audio, user interface (navi, audio, etc) and so forth.

one thing the 350Z had over the 370z was no steering lock issue.

Agreed. That was something I never worried about with my 350Z.

Soon enough, once UpRev hacks the BCM - I'll have it disabled, hopefully.
