Well lets see, i've always been a 300zx driver.

1. I'm new to 350z, and firstable no turbos, why make the older model faster than the new one. The only bad thing about having turbos on a 350z is that it will make the car high in maintenance.

2. Traction control, if you don't turn off the traction control you loose your gears when trying to accelerated at high speed.

3.also what i know this is that 300zx as well as the 350z produces a big amount of heat through the transmission.

4 UUUHHHHmmmm 370z lets see. Infinity come out with the new G-coupe with 330 hp now the 350z stays behind, nissan can't have there so call best sport car to have less horse power them the G - coupe.

Big up to the New GTR, Corvette killer,Ferrari destroyer and porche embarrassment.

but this is my point of view.

I love my interior, to me it does not look cheap.

yeah ive been in a TC numerous times as well, and all I can which are similar see are the front gauges and thats not even quite that right, because the bezzel itself is formed different and the a/c vents are cornered. I see what your coming from though cause the whole push pop dash thing cubby door is there.

there are a few things i dislike about the 350..

1. the wine of the 6mt on the highway when u let off the gas alittle

2. the clank you hear when shifting from 1st to 2nd ( with the 6mt)

3. the abnormal amount of brake dust !!!!!!

i dont have a problem with visibililty or any of that other stuff and these 3 are just me being picky....

the 350Z gauges were supposed to be a throwbck tot he 240Z which has 2 large gauges in front of the driver and threee angles gauges facing the driver int he center of the dash, the Z32 was the first and only generation of Z car to not have angled centermounted gauges in the dash

I think the Z is PERFECT for what it is, a sports car. There shouldn't be a lot of luggage space. If you need a lot of space, then you should've bought a G, or better yet a Camry. I love the feeling of being in my Z (no sunroof, back seats, or extra space that weighs the car down) just enough room for me and a passenger. This is a sports car, you wont find any extra room or quieter rides in an S2k, RX8, or vette. Some minor imperfections that i did find are - Window motor - Axle Click- Tire Feathering

All of which can be fixed

Im new to Nico but when i saw this thread i had to just add to it cause i gotta let it out someway that someone will understand cause none of my other friends drive a Z lol

- The ride is stiff on the enthusiast (boucing everywhere for any little thing) i had to put the Tein Basic Coilovers and it made it oh so sweet and smooth that even my friends noticed the difference and they dont even ride in the car that much.

- Cant see well like everyone ALSO has a problem with.

- For long trips it is brutual in those seats u are screaming to get out after awhile

- Getting out of of the car is kinda annoying too

- Cup holders are in the weirdest most uncomfortable place

- Windows are kinda too small i tried to get Mcdonalds through the drive-thru and the soda with that foam holder didnt fit then the bag i had to turn it side ways.

I think for now that is all i can think of but other than just these little things the car over all is a daily driver/race car. I love the lines, the quickness, how smooth it is just a car i had been looking for and finally found.

agree 100%, but the noise kinda gives you that "its build for this ****" feeling. I feel like i'm driving a track only car on the road sometimes....

2006 Touring with Automatic

My only complaint about my Z is the interior noise. My first project was to strip the interior, mostly the trunk, and install "quiet floor". It's better now, I can hear my ipod on the Bose. That was my second project adding an ipod interface into the back of the Bose.I think most of the noise is from the potenza's, I'm looking at a set of Toyo's to take care of that. I've got 19,000 on it, the tires look pretty good still, it'll be at least another 10,000 before I change them.

Oh and the paint on the interior door garnishes, when they start fading away it looks like someone has been scratching at them constantly.

1. Noise - Uh, guys it's a sports car, you have to be able to hear. 2. Blind spot, yes on the drivers side, fixed with small round stick on mirror. 3. Head room. I'm 6.4 I fit perfectly.

So on to what I dislike most........

No glove box.... I would really like a glove, box......

I love my car except for.

1. Huge rear strut bar, that could have been designed alot smaller.

2. Poor quality factory tires.

3. P.O.S. transmission.

4. Damn teenagers continually posting useless topics about stupid S, when

they do not own a Z, and also when they finally get their Z posting even more

useless banter.
