I'll be waiting until the 2nd year production so most of the "bugs" will be worked out on the 370Z. What about you?

Will you be purchasing the 1st year production 370Z?

I think this new Z is in a lot better position than the 350Z in 2003. It was a very first car and very first model year. This time, the VQ is tuned perfectly. The chassis is completely updated and everything is in great shape. My only concern is the Synchro Rev Match transmission. Anything that's "World's First" always makes me a little nervous. Other than that, I don't see really a difference buyer 1st year or 2nd - 3rd year.

or you can just keep it turned off? BTW, does anyone know if the Synchro Rev Match is defaulted every time you start the car? or you manually have to turn it on? I'm just too lazy to read the manual

No Way! I'm willing to bet with all disappointment and dislike of the head and tail lights, that Nissan will re design them! (Wish in one hand, and **** in the other!)
I would hate to buy a car with some thing I really didn't care for, and the following years model be re designed!

I'm buying the 1st year production model.
I'm not worried at all. I bought the first 350Z and had no problems, I'm even less worried about the 370Z. It's a Nissan, not a Fiat |

I agree with some of the others, shouldn't be too many bugs to worry about. The engine isn't new and I'm also opting for the 7 speed auto so I'm not worried about the new synchro rev match feature. Other than that there isn't much to worry about (I'm sure some issue will come up eventually but I doubt it will be anything major)... I've never had major problems with any of my past Nissan/Infiniti vehicles (1996 Altima GXE, 2001 Altima SE, 2003 Altima SE and the two below in my sig that I still own). They keep on improving and becoming better and I'm really liking the 370Z. I was considering getting a 2008 350Z but now I'm glad I waited because the 370Z is much better looking (IMO the 370Z looks a lot more aggressive and masculine than the 350Z) and now offers the same tech goodies (hard-drive based navigation, music box, paddle shifters, etc...) I'm used to in my G sedan.

I can see so many people still revving the gas (natural instinct) by mistake while having the sport mode on. This feature will help during autox a lot where you need to down shift very quickly. Can't wait to try this out

I don't think it'll be that bad as a first year model. A lot of the drivetrain and suspension should be shared with the G37 coupe, and I haven't heard of that many problems yet.
I might end up getting one first year. |
