Sup guys, i have an SRT4 and im planning on selling it and gettin a new car but idk wat to get. 370 is one of my choices but its pretty expensive. my main concern is reliability. i know the car just recently came out but i was wondering if there have been recalls or problems anyones been having that hasnt been their fault. it would be helpful in the decision of which car to buy.

No recalls yet, only issues are minor things some people have had.

srt4tw · 09-15-2009, 10:00 PM

care to share what those minor issues were?

370z complaints
That thread should hit most of them, be wary that some are a bit over exaggerated.

There are no minor problems that I can see. But then my car is not a daily driver.

Notable points to consider:

Shift 1st to 2nd gear on the Manual is horrible.

The engine is very, well, obtrusive above 6,000 rpm, very disappointing.

Overall - Great car, Great handling, sport option a must. I would not get the touring model. Unless you have money to burn, then it doesn't really matter. Most certainly not a car to run around town with, it much prefers the open winding roads, and for that reason it is a lot of fun for me on weekends.

good luck

I have no complaints. The 370 is a amazing automobile. If you don't mind only having 2 seats it's a must buy.

shifts from 1st to 2nd can be a bit jerky if you dont match RPM's perfectly. The 370's flywheel is a bit heavy and leaves no room for error when shifting, you usually gotta match the RPM's +/- 200 for a smooth shift, which can be a chore for the less experienced non Sport pack driver. The tranny is a bit clunky and loud. Only thing ive noticed. Its a huge upgrade from your neon, I say go for it!

LOL!!

You drive a Chrysler product, and you got qualms about a Nissan product????

That's like asking if Paris Hilton's chance of having STD's are lower than mother Theresa's.
