Is the new Z for me? Really, is it?

Well I went to a dealer today and took a look up close and I love it. Definitely next to no trunk space and I thought there would be a bit more leg room but it's still all the room I need. What sucks is they didn't have any on the lot with the sports package for me to test drive. They offered a regular 370z but I declined. If I get this car it would be with the sports package. What's funny is the service. I don't know if all Nissan dealers are like this and maybe I'm spoiled coming from a Bimmer but they next to ignored me. Kind of pissed me off.

What surprised me about the 370z is the fit and finish to the car. First time I sat in the old 350z I quickly jumped out thinking it's interior was so cheap and plasticky; just sucked. The 370z however is a major improvement with a more refined interior and nothing that looked tacky or cheap. I was impressed. I did however notice there's no option for a sun/moon roof. That was a bit disappointing since the windows are so small that a roof would give some much needed airflow. Also I answered my winter driving question. The 370z's front bumper to my astonishment sits a full inch higher than my 335i so scraping snow like a shovel in the winter is no longer a concern.

I'll try another dealer next week and hope they have a Z with sports package I can test drive.
