You know fapping on a two way diff could imply that he goes both ways.

[dasoupdude]

I think if i had a custom title it should read "I fap on diffs."

[amolao]

Or "fapping on a transmission"....that changes the whole perspective on things....LOL!!!!!!

1.the glove box is behind you2.you just have to hit it once to get to the speedometer 3.should have paid more for heated seats

The rearview mirror for me doesn't line up nicely with the rear window and doesn't feel like much attention was paid to the quality of the view for safety's sake.Pillar blindspots suck too.

6'0 has no worries about space or ride comfort, but long journey comments are dead on.

Love the paint, no troubles here.Love the interior save for the material the doors are covered in and the switch covers are layered with is too easy to damage.

[Roadzilla]

Dislikes: road noise and cheap cup holders.

I'm 5'10 and have had no issues with visibility. I did have a girlfriend who is 5'2" drive a Z and she said she couldn't see over the steering wheel and she kept sliding down the leather seat. I had to laugh. She still liked the car though.

[dasoupdude]

She still liked the car though.

Indeed. Its funny how chicks mostly go for the tiny sporty looking two door / two seater cars which looks the most inconvenient. They always tend to notice the popular mainstream sports cars which are mostly seen being drive by old dudes. I was actually thinking of de badging my car and slapping viper and corvette emblems everywhere all while driving around downtown. I figured I could score a few hoes and catch a few STD's before sunrise.

[Ender_Zero]

heh, the Nissan badge is enough for the clap before the bar closes.

But a big viper vinyl on the rear window would probably score some rednecks and dumb chicks.

[cagedeyecam]

I hate the small windows, I can barely see out them and Im not even that short (5'11).. alot of blind spots as well.

[Viggy75]

5'7 no blind spots juss put ya mirrors in good spots

[efd350z]

i really dont have a problem as far as the visibility. my only complaint is the temperture reading popping up on my gauge when its cold which really isnt a big deal and the window motors. ive had the car for about 3 months now and i already had to replace the passenger side motor.

[OTG Vinyl]

With my old 03 Track... the rear strut bar is just plain stupid, and the ****ty VQ oil-eating engine design led to it's demise and me selling it after a few months. Otherwise, it was great.

[NissanFairladyZ32]

-Blindspots - Weight - Looks like a Sports VW Beetle - The interior is too round______________________ THE GOOD______________

+ Quick + 07+ nice wheels that dont look like plastic+ Even the base model looks good+ 6 speed+ lots of room in hatch+ ect ..

[dasoupdude]

The new trend of seeing 2006 and some 2007 low mile 350z's going for 16-20 grande..

I needs me a Nismo before they all disappear.

[amolao]

I paid 20,000 for a super clean, low mileage and plenty of warranty. Is a 2006. My son is going to keep it. The next will be mine and Im also going with a Nismo. Im not too worried in getting a brand new one, specially with the deals you can get with a used one.

[JHof]

I read everybody's comments about the 350Z and I agree with most of them--despite having fallen deeply in love with my ex-Z, it DID have some annoying traits, but once smitten with the car I tended to overlook most of them.

I got my Z early, in the Spring of '03. It was the Base model in LeMans Sunset and I was one of the first owners in Central Florida. For awhile I had an exclusive, a shiny, zippy creation that NOBODY else had and everybody else wanted. The hubris factor puffed me way up for at least a year. I was also proud of the fact that I had a car that could eat the lunch of 95% of all the cars on the road. I proved that to myself by racing a Ferrari 360 across the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami a few days after I got the car. Yeah, the Ferrari wiped me ( not by much, however) but up until then I had NEVER owned anything that ANY Ferrari would have considered as worthy in a street race. That experience was what first bonded me to the Z.

Then I drove it all over the Country, putting 13,000 miles on it during the first couple of months I owned it. I drove it through the mountains, deserts, cities and Blue Highway backroads of seventeen States. That is when I fell totally in Love with it.

After owning the thing for 55 months I was spoiled, and when it came time to trade I chose the only car that was a near-equivilent to my Sainted Z-- an Infiniti G Coupe. Then was when I began to look at some of the faults that the Z-car had.

First, and most important were the warranty issues, and there were a LOT of them.Anyone who owned an early '03 is intimately familiar with the front end issues. Due to an inexcusable engineering goof, the Originals had a serious problem with road rumble, tire wear (cupping) and had severe alignment problems, situations that quickly chewed up the front tires and comprimised handling and aesthetics in very noticible ways.The warranty took care of that, but soon other problems arose--the seats began balling fabric like a cheap Angora sweater, the seat track was wobbly, there were grease streaks on both windows that destroyed the tint film, the power windows constantly failed and the emblem on the shifter detached (which required replacement of the ENTIRE shifter--WTF ???).

My beautiful new car was in the shop a lot during it's first year, just to iron out stupid little things that should have never gone wrong. I give very high marks to my Dealer for working these warranty-related issues out, but it was still a huge, ongoing PITA.

Other gripes-- The ride was kidney-bruising rough, the seating position was like driving a cave around, I could never hang my elbow out the window, the absence of a convenient glovebox was galling, the absence of even minimal luggage space was equally irritating. The aerodynamics made riding around in moist climate conditions with open windows just plain stupid design; the absence of a lighter and ashtray was discriminating to smokers (yeah, I know, there WAS a pseudo- ashtray, but come on!!) and the blind spot and the skinny gunslit rear view through the mirror was downright dangerous. There was no Traction Control available on the Base model, and the exhaust note was a cop magnet, attracting unwanted attention whenever I opened her up.Plus, I could never use my radar detector because of the dumb positioning of the power outlet between the seats, and the non-Bose radio in the Base model was for chit.

The interior was cheezy. I rationalized that away by convincing myself that the engineers put their bucks into the mechanics of the car and cribbed a few thousand trade-off yen from the interior, but the faux-carbon fiber center stack and door panels were unimaginative and just cheap, cheap, cheap.

And then there was the Hole of Mystery and its wafer-thin plastic door that dominated the upper third of the center stack. It was meant to shield the NAV screen (which I DID NOT have ) and was useless for holding anything designed by man. It was both cheezy and stupid. I came to see it as a Zen joke, something the Nissan ergonomics department treated as an afterthought after one too many slugs of saki.

Still, I totally loved my Z. It has become my favorite car ever and will probably own that position until the day the state snatches my license and forces me to take public transportation to my Altzheimer's clinic, depriving me of ever again driving a personal car on public roads. Unless, of course, I go out and get a 370Z. I MAY just fall in love once again. I'll probably not remember it due to the aforementioned Altzheimers, but I think I'll be having fun with a car once again.Actually, with the cost of a used 350 about to drop into four figures, I may do a buy-back someday and own another 350Z. I have NEVER owned the same car twice, but I'd have another 350 in a New York Minute. ...Yep, it was that good...

[my08350z]

all i got to say about the zs bads arevisibility and mods cost so much compared to other cars.. in its price range

[R350Zz33]

how can no one see u need to adjust the mirrors. the only time i have a problem seeing is backing up at night but that because i have limo tint.

[dasoupdude]

i have limo tint.

rip it off.

RIP IT ALL OFF.

RIP ALLL OFFF ITT OFFFFF.

[R350Zz33]

y it looks sexy my z all blacked out with stockers tint is darker in person it was sunny day so the light made it weird p.s. threes those r350zz33 approved nismo stickers u wanted soup

[xjmxstac]

Another thing I hate about the Z is when people put a nismo sticker even if car has no nismo whatsoever.

[Zedcar35]

I have trouble hitting the TCS button when it counts...tried to show a quattro TT what a sweeping onramp in a Z can look like today, and all I showed was my gas cap.

But visibility-wise, I have to say I never lost sight of him coming up and passing the whole second or two my TCS cut in.

[xjmxstac]

Street racing is frowned upon around here. When you say on-ramp, you mean chicane right?...In a legally sanctioned racing event. And yes the tcs/vdc button is very inconveniently located, perhaps for a purpose?

[Zedcar35]

Wasn't a race by any means, I was simply infront of a TT driver who was following rather closely. I prefer the way the Z accelerates to the legally mandated highway speed on the patch of road that connects the rural road to the interstate system with TCS off.

Street racing rules duly noted, my bad.
