I hate having to put the top up.

Had it down 1st week I bought it, 37F. Can't fight rain though...

And yes, 06 interior scratches, all touched up with modeling paint only to dissolve with Amour All or Lexol leather conditioner. MB try spray enamel next, or the thread I saw about removing those surfaces, painting plus top-coat.

3rd gear synchros. Bases didn't come with LSD or cruise control. The person who designed the intake manifold. The rear strut bar placement. How under tired the z's came from the factory. That cobalts and civics always rev at you and people drive crazy around you . The window motors. That I have to bop the oil pressure gauge. That I love the car so much!

I cant believe I have Interior scratches on an 07, and coming from a z32 300zx I like the stock lsd and 4 piston brakes on ALL models.

Yeah the window motors are stupid, if I auto roll up my driver window, it goes too high and the door wont shut normally since the window is tipping over the line of the roof. I have to manually gauge when to stop rolling up the window

You need to reset your window motor. If the door is open, it should go all the way up then drop slightly. It is by design that the window is too high to clear the roof line without dropping.

I just had to do it last weekend. Worked perfectly.

edit: apparently you can't link to 350z tech..... just google "350z window motor reset procedure"

I dont hate anything about it, but I would appreciate a targa top, moon roof, and same size wheels, but i can live with it as is.
I dont like the look of the convertible when the top is down but I would like an open top even if it is part from a sun roof, etc.. the full hard top kinda misses the sports car thing for me.

rear view mirror is a little big and can get in the way, seats arent that wide, can be tight and uncomfortable, hard to see out the passenger side especially with a passenger.
The way everyone around me in traffic acts when they see my car.
The fact that I Cant afford the gas to drive it as much as I want to right now.

I've had my calf squished multiple times. It's the car's fault for the door closing so easily and my fault for not learning. lol.

Sweet Jesus, yes. I have an 06 with 58K miles, and the freakin black rubberized finish is so far gone it almost looks like I should just remove it all and go silver on the interior.

-The fact you are almost always being challenged at the traffic lights.
-Fuel consumption (as an effect of the above)

I really like the car, the way it looks, drives, sounds....it's all how it should be for a car like this.
My door window's also bother me with opening again after closing the door, i need to manually lower it a little bit and it's ok.
But that is something that can be adjusted, which i will do when i have some time.

Shitty interior scratches on the door panels and flip up container cover... non-functioning radio controls and the blind spots... oh the blind spots

no camber adjustment on stock suspension? questionable side profile

can't complain about the gas though... the S4 is lucky to get 250 miles on a tank

I got pretty hooked up with my '05 anniversary. Dude I bought it from already modded it and put in a system. The problem with mine is that he put VERY large injectors for the application. It makes around 420 on 9 lbs and he put in 1200cc injectors. So sometimes she needs a little push of a gas pedal to start. (I feel bad doing it because it looks like I'm some douche just trying to rev the engine). And part throttle can cause it to buck sometimes. So I definitely intend on getting smaller ones until I actually need 1200cc injectors.

I don't really hear all these rattles everyone's talking about. And (knock on wood) I don't have any problems with the window motors yet.

I don't really dislike anything about the car except the large injectors, which is just specific to my situation. I am going to need a car cover though. I don't have a garage to store it in.
