Decisions decisions
 

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.

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.

thanks

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

why do you say that? my 6MT is butter smooth... :tiphat:

hmmm wat do u mean its horrible? wat happens? and by obtrusive im guessing ur talking about TCS?

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

it is a daily driver just gotta know how to drive stick lol

x2 this is the smoothest 1-2 shift i have ever had in a stick....

then wth is 355890 talking about? o.O

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!!:roflpuke2:

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. :rofl2:

^^ could you have been nicer to a possible new 370z owner? :shakes head:

a bit harsh man, the SRT isnt a terrible entry level tuner, the guy is interested in our car, lets encourage him and prod him in the right direction. Besides, he never said his car was better than a 370.

Agree with the previous 2 posters.. The last thing we need is to turn this forum into another MY350Z afterschool hangout..:shakes head:

Fixed :rofl2:

LOL! Wouldnt be a surprise at all, if that actually happed there! :)

I had an SRT4 before the 370Z. Same s/n on srtforums, far from stock almost every bolt-on with the S20G turbo kit. Anyways, I'm more than happy with the Z. But then again I was looking for something a little more civil than the SRT4 I had.

Complaints: lack of space, blind spots take some getting used to, aftermarket parts cost more in comparison to SRT4 parts.

Lack of space is not really a big concern for me since no one wanted to ride in the SRT4 anyways (too stiff, vibrated too much, too loud).

No compliants here.

However, a few things to keep in mind that come up often:

~No oil cooler (only a problem if you plan on tracking; easily fixed by adding an aftermarket)
~Road noise (easily fixed by turning the radio up)
~Engine/Transmission noise (some people complain about how loud the motor is, I personally love it - sounds mean)
~1st-2nd gear shifting in the manual is rough/loud (some have this problem, others dont - after a few weeks its not even noticable anymore)

This is just my :twocents:

hahaha noo noo i agree. my car does have a lot of problems. but it never had any mechanical problems. i look for cars that will perform well not look great or be comfortable. =]. but thaks for the info guys.

I have no idea what cars everyone else is driving. I've never driven in a car that shifts like my 370Z. Its tight and responsive - short shift and positive engagement. Jerkyness is nothing to do with the car and everything to do with the driver.

coming from someone in a sport, which does all the work for you. Go figure. Its not hard to shift smoothly, but as stated before, takes practice.
