Can you Auto Z Drivers Speak out

Minsu

The only z i can find at a reasonable price is a base no package auto...
i was gonna put an amuse on it anyways so w.e but i wanted to experience manual but auto is the only thing i can find that i can purchase next month or so. has anyone picked auto and looked back?

No,
It's fúcking AMAZING (if you don't want to go forced induction)


LITERALLY THE BEST on ANY car outside... A GTR (debatable) or any other 100k+ car I have ever driven

So your driving auto? man i mean im in NJ and in like heavy traffic, maybe the auto will be better for me in the long run

It's stupid how good it is... My ISF's is garbage compared to the 370's

Besides getting called out for not "having a driver's car", and the 50-100lb increase...

It's awesome!!! If you heavily track you MAY need a trans cooler, MAY, I REALLY don't want to turn you off from it because it kicks so much àss

Lol!!!

Hey, if someone wants a 370, I'll still give them advice, if someone is on the fence, I'll tell them to get something else

Maybe I have REALLY shítty luck
But at the same time there's this list of generic problems:


They didn't fix ANY of that on the 370Z

This may help a bit...

I just bought my Touring (Non-Sport Pkg) 7AT on Saturday. I had, over the past few months driven a few 370s in 6mt. The 6mt made me despise synchro-rev match. That in turn made me despise the 6mt on the 370. I turned my back several times and never once considered an auto because I, too, thought it HAD to be a manual.

Then, last Saturday, I pulled into the Nissan dealership while I was shopping against the 1 and 3 series BMWs. Gave the 7AT a shot, loved it, negotiated, signed the papers and walked out a happy man. But also understand this was all in part due to where I live and feathering a clutch for 35 minutes a day while waiting to get through a gate is annoying as all hell. Anywho...

Here is why I didn't want the sports package. #1... HATE the wheels. They remind me of Pontiac wheels back in the 90s. #2... I wanted to install a Quaife LSD. Sports package has one and swapping requires additional parts. #3... Brake package can easily be added and I'd like more options than the Nissan installed parts. For example, Willwood.

The base gave me a clean slate to work from and no additional options to pay extra for that I would likely rip off anyway. And the Bose? It stays. I don't like Bose but I don't really mind the sound. But the seats!! Wow. I love the sueded door panels and seat inserts with the leather trim. And while it adds some weight, I like my heated seats too. Glad I got to keep them!

For the record, I came from a 2010 Acura TSX 2.4L. It was modded. But only netted one ounce of fun when I hit the corners at 5-7k rpm. The 370 gives me like, 900 cajillion metric tons of fun even when cruising at the speed limit. I don't even need to drive fast anymore. I also expected a very stiff ride but it is surprisingly comfortable for road trips. Will be taking it to northeast ohio from Virginia Beach in a week. So excited! Can't wait to get over 1000miles so I can open her up a bit.

Good luck with your choice!!! I'm sure you'll be happy once you sign your wallet away and get in and just blast off.

its a 2011 with 11k miles and 25800 right now so im trying to get it otd for 26000 with 15000 down. base no sports and auto, assuming i pay the car off in a year and give myself an amuse kit and maybe wheel further down the road, should i reconsider or go with this

Too much money down imo. Have you checked carmax, they will generally transfer a vehicle from one of their nationwide locations for around $900.00.

Don't drop 15K on a car, I mean if you are sitting on 100K+ then fine but man that's alot of cash.

As for negotiation, I recommend paying LESS than the KBB trade in price, PR if it's recertified, up to $500 MORE than the TRADE IN price.

Feel free to call/text(preferred) me any time regarding the Auto or negotiation (31O)eight nine three-42O7

I live in jersey and am on the parkway a lot. The Z's man pedal is relatively light and not too shabby in traffic. Try driving an evo or dsm with a heavy clutch in traffic. You'll run to a Z after that.

You see, OP, you'll have to live with those comments
