Is the 370Z really THAT loud???
In the previous Z model (the 350), the biggest complaint was it was too plain and cheap looking on the inside. Well, I liked the way that cabin was built: simple, plain, cut to the chase of raw sports car and power. I didn't have any complaint regarding the interior of the 350, not even the lack of a glovebox.
Now in the 370Z, the main complaints are: too loud and rough ride. I'm getting mine on Wednesday so I can't really check it out yet. But can you long time 350Z previous owners tell me if it is worse in the 370Z than the 350Z? It's a pure sports car, if you want a GT, then get a 370Z. |

Is it louder than 350Z, hell yeah. The thing is I find that as a good thing. The 350Z didn't sound like it had the grunt that it does. The 370Z "loudness" is very much appropriate for the performance. It's much quieter during normal driving than 350Z. It's when you get into high RPMs when its loud.
I find the ride simply more comfortable on 370Z even on the low profile tires with sport package. That may be due to seats and everything else but the bottom line is that it's more comfortable. Last edited by awesomez; 08-24-2009 at 04:27 PM. |

Quit reading the Reviews. Loud and rough compared to what? A Lincoln town car? Sure.. OK.... Go Drive it. Neither are the case in reality especially if you're coming from a 350..

Good question and great responses!! Don't listen to the car review. I am sure a Z06 is loud and rough when compared to a Bentley.
BTW - LOVE you user name MeetJoeAsian! I get it.... |

The 370Z is nowhere near as rough as the 350Z ('03). The car is so much more comfortable and confident to drive.
As for "loud," the 370Z exhibits a roaring road noise on certain roads. I think a different set of tires might alleviate this problem, but it's no deal breaker. Regrets? None.

I said this before too. Do you think Ascari or Koenigsegg owners complain that their cars are too loud? No one who wants a sports car should complain about hearing the engine.
The car and engine sound great. There is some road noise which may be what the reviewers are noting. It's not the end of the world or a car-killing fault. You'll get used to it quickly. |

370z= much improved ride from 350z. When driving my 370 compared to my 350, the 370 feels much more refined. I feel as though I am driving an exotic vs the 350 felt like a nissan. Also, you're driving a sports car, do you want it to be silent? The stock 370z sounds just like it should.
