Now U Can Hate Me - 370z v 350z

o0javi0o · 09-01-2009, 03:50 PM

That's called personal opinion and appreciation.
Some will like it, some not.

I still have my 07 350z, I've test drove several times the 370z Touring Sport Package, and in my very personal opinion, I really like it vs my 350z, even though I don't feel to much difference at cruising speeds, but I really feel the difference of stability in reference to my 350z . The 370z is more comfortable, more stylish, better materials at the interiors, and so and so. And I'll get my PG Touring Sport Package with orange interior 370z hopefully at the end of the year, beginning of 2010 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm love.

No hate, it is just personal opinion

PS: I like better, at this precise moment, the exhaust tone note of my 350z

Mr. Chubbs,

I'm very shocked at your impression on the suspension. It's my MOST favorite feature this new 370Z. The suspension is all aluminum and VERY responsive. Therefore, you feel all the bump in the road and it's a good thing

. I am going to guess you drove the sports model with wider tires. (?) Does your dealer have a Z with 18" base rims? give that a try and see if you like the thinner tires better.

Can I suggest 135i?

P.S. We will never hate you! You're our ambassador from England.

I haven't thanked you for the decals yet!

EVERYBODY - - - THIS GUY (AK) IS THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD.... I woke up a couple of weeks ago, opened a letter and it contained a set of the370z.com decals. AK had sent them to me - just because he's a really nice person!!!

I haven't had time to put them on my 350z yet, but I will ...soon!

Thanks AK, you're a star!

ps - i appreciate the 135i suggestion, but no thanks!

pps - yes it had the bigger wheels and wider tyres, but they're exactly the same as on my 350z.

FYI; it is normal to have a pint at 10am across the pond. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

I did not want to like the 370 coming out of a 350. I wanted to buy an M3 or at the least a g37 as my first foray into adulthood. I did myself a disservice by test driving the 370 because I never made it out of the dealership. The difference was that great between the two. For me, the 370 is superior to the 350 in every way. Unfortunately the M3 will have to wait another couple of years.

Interesting observation about life cycles.

It goes this way: 350Z --> G37 --> FX --> EX --> 370Z

IOW, after you've sampled the creampuffs, the bully monsters, and the "pony" bully... you'll be back around.

In our case, we skipped the EX35 because no East Coast dealers had the model in RWD only. (And we tried, for 5-6 months.) Eventually came to realize that we didn't need a Mustang-sized back seat, even... got the 3rd car, a Honda Element, to give us carryspace and AWD.

Thank you for you kind words!

May I suggest G37 or you're looking into something else?

G37 isn't available in the UK (yet, unless it's an import), but no, I need something MORE 'seat of the pants', not less. I was hoping the 370 would be that car, but currently I'm not convinced. I'll wait and see how they develop it.
