Nissan 370Z Forum  

Toyota

I love my hybrid vehicles. Are they fun to drive? Not really. Yet they are just so reliable and they are great values. I have 80K miles on my 2010

I love my hybrid vehicles. Are they fun to drive? Not really. Yet they are just so reliable and they are great values. I have 80K miles on my 2010 Prius, only thing I have had to do is change tires, oil and replace a bad hatch strut. Car is as solid as ever and it gets 50mpg.


I had a MR2 turbo, I thought the car was overrated. It wasn't reliable and the driving position is just weird. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to shift the pedals closer to the center of the car!

I've driven only Toyota's minus a Dodge Dakota as my first vehicle. Last one being a Toyota Tacoma I traded in on the Z. I do miss that truck.

I'm a Honda guy all the way, integra prelude s2000 i owned. Even though Honda sucks now no more economy enthusiast cars or rwd.. But they still own Nissan in terms of quality it's not even close. Toyota for sure too although I like the old Tacoma and supra only.

I really hate to bash Nissan so much but dam they cheap out in so many places

Yeahhhhh... I agree...


My biggest thing with Nissan, that inherently every Nissan has, WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE TO RATTLE?!?!?!
My damn headliner rattles!!!
And I know the 370Z is a sports car and we "want to save weight" but why can't you put SOME sort of insulation for the sound???

dude i got a 2005 Frontier, the seats rattled the paint chipped off. The tranny jerked around the gas mileage was embarrassing. The only good thing was a 4.0 VQ Engine that had torque. We still have the truck just to have a truck but no way in hell does it compare to a Toyota Tacoma..

sucks for you guys, i will admit my 2002 altima rattled a little after a while, but after i upgraded to a 2005 altima 3.5 in over 160,000 miles i never had any problems with rattles and the same in my Z, the 33k miles i had it i never had that issue....my 96 civic on the other hand has plenty of things that rattle even with it only having 132,000 miles on it, gotta say it gets great gas mileage though lol

If Toyota had kept the Supra I wouldn't own a 370z.

But used ones wouldn't be as expensive either! I'd love to be able to pick up an 1998 MKIV Turbo with the targa top.

i dont hate them, but i do have bad memories of my parents' 1990-1991 toyota 4 runner which had the most mechanical issues out of all the cars we owned but on the other hand the 96 corolla that we owned for a short time later on was an overall good car especially when it came to MPG's
