Love my Z for the most part. However, I do wish it had a bit more power and that the damn cubbies had buttons that worked the first time you pressed them Also after driving my dad's Elantra, I wish it had blue guages and instrument lighting. I would also like Nissa to reimburse me for the POS BLOSE stereo that they included in the touring package.

Ironic, I sold my Z to go DSM. Odd how people's lives can go be inverse directions of each other, for the same reasons.

I love my Z... It is my first new car but I wish they made it supercharged for more power... But I did own alot of corollas back in my day... My corolla had it running Tens and still sliding everywhere I could... But yeah thats a real nice thing it grabs attention everywhere you go... Even in orlando where its Z crazy my Nismo is still brecking Necks left and right... I wouldn't trade it for anything... Or maybe thats because I'm hard Headed

Love it. I have had no issues or quirks with mine. Not even a rattle. Very impressed with the quality of my Z (2007)

Pretty sure most of the stuff has already been said. Only things I wish could be better is rattles, road noise, a little more power (imo the power on these vehicles are over rated compared to what they are at to the wheel), performs better with bolt ons, weighed less. Other then that I love the vehicle, previous car was an integra.

Also, way too many modified/abused RX7s and 240sx's.

So my question is are you satisfied with your Z? Also, what was your last car?
This is funny. I come from the DSM community too! And I have a black on black 350z. For driving around town, you will love the Z's instant torque. If your DSM was like mine and had a large turbo, off boost, you are slower than most civics. I'd use the word 'refreshing' to have instant power and not have to wait for the turbo. Now, the Z is never going to have the streaming topend that a turbo 4G has but it's made be believe that ultimate power really isn't what its about. Also, the VQ is just an awsome motor. 300 hp w/ power anywhere and still get over 30 mpg = sold. Just do it.

my previous cars included, a 90 Mazda MX-6 Turbo, 95 eclipse GS-T (300 FWHP) fast car but FWD and lame, 1991 Nissan 300ZX, and then the 350Z. 350Z is awesome, great looking car, handles great, looks really good when modded right. my only issue with it vs my other cars is that it takes A LOT of money to make it have big power. where as with my eclipse i spent about 2 G's on it and had a NASTY little car.

my DSM was faster than my Z in a straight line. Precision 50 Trim Turbo, full boost around 4K hahaha! the z would launch on it, then my eclipse would reel it in by about 55 MPH. fun times

For a minute you had me envious cuz I only had a '91 3000 GT SL 6 spd before I got my '03 350Z in August '02 . Yea, it was pretty slow but I did love it. It turned heads in 1991 since it was the first year for it.

I had a 2006 GTO. Yes, it had more HP and torque--noticable because 1st gear wasn't so short--but I do NOT miss it at all.

This car is such a better total package.

What I like most (2007 coupe) are the sight-lines. Adjust your mirrors properly and there is NOTHING that can sneak up on you.

2003 Honda 600rr - never should have sold it
2006 Yamaha r1 - wheelie machine
