- Stock audio is crap.
- Rattles all over the place.
- Windows all streaky-wet after you spray-wash-it and roll-them down.

no car is perfect and for what you pay for a Z all these little problems that may come with it are not significant. Best car ive ever owned.

Too heavy and expensive mods...sure ill agree to an extent
But not enough torque, seriously? From 3.5L it seems like an abundance....You normally drive a diesel?

too many TSBs...(got most taken care of)
too many rattles...(turn radio up/got better tires to stop vibration)
OEM tires suck...(got AVON Tech M500 A/S...smoothest, quitest ride ever!!!!!!)
attracts too much attention from cops...(drive slower??)
sometimes when i go to philly i get finger/hand prints all over the windows from people peering in when i park...(valet park at the front of parking garages)
unfortunately they see a cheap-looking interior...LOL...(no solution)
stuff (bookbag) in trunk always visible...(bad thing in philly - don't get me wrong, i love philly - don't leave things in the open in philly...considered Crossfire - too loose of a ride - steering, clutch, felt like driving jello-mobile)
clutch chatter when turn engine off...(leave engine on or turn off with clutch depressed)

I also hate the Dam beeps when you leave the keys in the ignition and the door open.

BAN THE BEEPS.

Another little thing, the Flashing green indicator lamps are a little GAY. Instead of a Green Arrow, its a Green DOT with a Black arrow. Reverse Block kinda crap. It looks a little cheap. No biggy.

I love the WIDE Guards. The shape is Years ahead of its time.

This thing will still look good in 20 Years.

My main complaint, Such a fast LOOKING CAR, No V-8 or TT.

This thing LOOKS like it should have 500 BHP+ so why not give it to it.

Bring on the 450 Z and the GT-R . We have waited long enough.

Even though I've only had my Z for 4.5 Hours.

Please sir, I want more. LOL

If they Build it, I will buy it.

MJ

My #1 dislike about the 350Z: BLINDSPOTS!!!

#2: Paint isn't very high quality. And for a $30k+ sports car, it should be.

Other than those two main points, I really love everything about my 350Z.

The factory Bose system is good enough to keep me happy (although my daily driver definitely has a better system). But that's the problem with Bose, isn't it? Average sound so no one can really complain - No highs, No lows, It's a Bose.

I dig the interior. I've come to the conclusion that for 2 seater sports cars that there isn't going to be a passenger in the vehicle at all times. So why not have a cockpit that focuses on the driver? The plastic is tolerable, too.

Seats aren't the most comfortable after 4-5 hours, but it's a sports car...

Trunk space? Feh. Clothes don't smell bad for at least a couple days.

Power? Drive a slow car for a daily driver. Get in the 350Z and complain. I think the power is good.

Dislikes of the 06' model (2,000 miles on her so far) :
- the bose system is ok at moderately low levels, and more and it sucks!
- blind spots could have been trimmed down with a fuller r/side window
- the damn A/C turning on when I switch the fans to auto/on
- card/change holder is stupid!
- allocation of the rear strut bar should have been re-though, it really limits the space.

any VW manual transmission would clunk shifting from 1st to 2nd big time. The Z is just a little notchy in the morning going into 2nd sometimes.
