1st chance to walk around, touch and feel. I spent about 15 minutes with a couple of the service managers and the operations manager for the dealership looking the car over from top to bottom. The first thing I noticed is the white pearlescent paint is very nice, anyone getting this color should be very pleased. The fit and finish is very good. Much much better than my 01' Vette. The interior is very austerre, not in a bad way as I barely notice the interior of the car while I am driving anyway. The hatch area is quite small but enough for my uses I suspect, now that my golf clubs are covered with cobwebs in the garage. The other thing that surprised me is the 17" wheels look fine on the car and think if I had to drive the car with the factory 17"s I would not be disappointed. Although it is a matter of taste, and 18"s certainly would look better, the 17's are surprisingly nice. The tire profile on the 17's is also a bit taller and should help road noise and ride quality. The suspension is very taut, I weigh about 180-185 and the rear suspension did not even flex under my full weight. I am a lot more interested in this car now that I have had a chance to see it in person. The car had yet to be PDI'd so no joy rides. I will have an opportunity to drive one later this week and I am now looking forward to that. COngrats to you new and soon to be owners, it seems to be exceeding everyones expectations including mine.

Since it had not had PDI, did you happen to notice the miles on it? Trying to get a handle on how many miles it should have when it arrives at dealer.

 

Westpak,
I used to work at a Nissan Dealership -- Maximas came off the truck with anywhere from 3 to 10 miles on them, I'd expect the same roughly on the new Zs.
