MP350Z

But I LOVE my car. It is by far the finest car I have ever owned and maybe even been in. I get the sam reaction from anyone who has ever been for a ride in my car. I have absolutely not received any negative reactions from anyone who has seen it. Even from some who had only seen pictures and were not impressed but then saw mine in person and then described it as "absolutely breathtaking" and "better looking than a porsche" (not sure if even I agree with that one, but you get my point). The only setybacks I have had with this car besides all the tremendous attention it gets have been the greasy streaks on the windows and the less than what i expected Bose system. However, after reporting both those problems to my dealer and taking the car in for its first oil change at 3500 miles last week, both of those problems have been fixed. the streaks were taken car of at the time of the oil change by simply removing the door panels and cleaning whatever it was that had the excessive grease on it, (they told me what it was, but I cant recall at this time) and the replacement amp was ordered and then installed just a couple of days later. I am happy to report that after the installation, the stereo sounds much much better, although still not at the quality of some aftermarket stereos, but hey, what do you expect from stock?? especially in a car thats most important assets (performance) are at the level of vehicles that are tens of thousands of dollars more expensive. And dont give me the Impreza WRX argument, cuz you know what? The WRX is a great car, I like them but for some reason I bought a Z instead. And I know threee WRX owners who wished they had a Z instead. And i know several people who if they had to choose, would rather have the Z instead, in fact no one that I have asked, and i have asked the oppionions of several people, said they would take a WRX over a Z. Why?? Well, I don't know the reasons are different for everyone, but I just dont get the same feeling from a WRX that I get from the Z. I just don't see them on the same level. The Z is an AWESOME car, especially when you factor in the price. It is a great all around sports car and a great value. Sorry for the long post but, i just get tired of reading all the posts of people who are unhappy with their car. I just don'e see it. And I hate the thought of someone coming on here to read about the Z because they are considering buying one and then having second thoughts because of the unfortunate circumstances of a few people. I feel for you guys who have had problems, and I hope everything works out. I hope your dealers will work with you to get your issues resolved. I just dont want to add fuel for all the haters out there. the 350Z has been nothing short of a dream come true for me.

I have a list of HUGE problems with mine!



Everywhere I go it gets greasy fingerprints all over it from people "looking" at it.

Oh yeah, and I had to double my gas budget because I can't stop driving it.

...and women won't leave me alone.

...and POS muscle cars won't leave me alone.

...and the police pull me over to look at it.


Well, the first 2 are true and I wish the 3rd was.

Same type of problems with mine


Does NISMO make a clip on Paper Towel holder to keep the drool off the car

Me too. I have had mine since August and I thought that people would start ignoring the car after a month or so. But it has gotten worse. People love this car. So do I.

SDPearso, I can understand the problems you have with people gathering around your car. What you have done to it is absolutly amazing. One beautiful car you have there.

MP350Z

Sorry Frankie, but I have the Bose system. I dont think I am experiencing the cracking sound on AM radio, but I rarely listen to AM radio, so who knows....

sdpearso

Actually I think that's what the car cover is for but I'm too lazy to use it.

Thanks!

It's worth all the drool.

FrankieZZ

MP350Z thanks for getting back to me on that . My problem is the strangest ever ! The cd and fm are great on the base system but it cracks in am mode . I'll have the dealer look at it when I go in to change the oil . Thanks again !

AM radio is far worse quality, and ussually is rather staticy... Ive never heard a clear AM station.

was this question too easy, or am I missing the point.

I have bose by the way, and yes the AM stations crackle a good bit. its inherent in their design.

FrankieZZ

ARES , every car I own or have owned never sounded like this . I know what you mean about reception , but something tells me it is not reception .It isn't static as much as a cracking (tinny) sound and in every speaker . Any ideas on this ? It never does it in fm or cd mode , so it's not the speakers .The strangest is it comes and goes , mostly comes ( I know you are going to think reception)Maybe it is . . I'm not a big user of am , just this one talk station I like to listen to occasionally for laughs !What do you or anyone else think ?Is it the radio (base system, single cd player) ?Thanks for any help !

People don't choose the WRX because (I will be polite here) it is not an attractive car, where as the Z is the best looking car I have ever seen!!

There are a few minor things I don't like, but they are minor. All in all, I love this car too. It's well worth it.
