370Z Roadster - Initial Impressions

NismoZ_840

Touring NZ in a 370 Zed would be a dream! I had fun driving a campervan on the roads there even with left side manual, right side drive, and flipflopped turn signal/wiper (the hardest thing to master surprising!) The roads are perfect for a well handling car or bike and scenary absolutely amazing even by Colorado standands! Which island, town are you from?

Hi NizmoZ,
My hometown is Alexandra near Queenstown,South Island.Really looking forward to the new car[370Z roadster],even though the 350Z coupe is great,never did like the aesthetics of the 350Z roadster,looked like a bathtub with a pimple on the top for a hood,but Nissan have got it right with the 370Z roadster it reminds me of something Aston Martin would have done!.
Yes we have some great roads here in the South Island! also there are only 1 million of us in the whole island,and although the roads are well policed if one is careful and with the help of the trusty radar detector,you can extend it out now and again.
Of interest we are getting an odd spec 370Z roadster here in NZ,auto only,no nav console etc,19" rays wheels and the sports brakes,and no cooled seats!!.
We have ordered a solid red one,and it will be one of the first into the country sometime late February.
Hope you guys in the States,keep up the reports on your roadsters over there.

The South Island is awesome, especially the scenery and the roads. I camped one night next to Lake Dunstan and went into Alexandra to Mt Bike (forget the trail name, bike shop on the main road pointed me where to go) and tasted some of the great Pinot Noirs down that way. I hit Queenstown the next. My cousin wrapped up her Undergrad at Victoria U in Wellington, thus my excuse to take month and tour your beautiful country! Alexandra was the furthest south I made and Paihia to the north. Enjoy your Z and the summer! Cheers!
