There are a few things I hate about my car.

1) I have to pay for it. My inflated sense of entitlement leads me to feel I should get it for free.

2) It doesn't run on love.

3) I'm leaving this spot blank for now. If I think of something else, I'll edit it. Don't hold your breath.

Transmission, big surprise here, mine has started to randomly grind going into fifth gear. I only hope it will do it when I have a day off to stop by Nissan.

The expensive graphic in my trunk explicitly says that you absolutely can. With the proper loading methods. Thank god for that because I LOVE snowboarding. Uhh, wait a sec...

I love reading every one of them. My only complaint before reading was that after driving 20+ miles, my tire pressure sensor lights are lit because my 19" does not have a TPS monitor on it.

From reading the threads, my other complaint is the AC turned on even though I don't want it. Other than that, it has been my best car so far. Get more compliments than the C6, the truth.

Paint job is bad only because most of you drive freeways, drive along 18 wheelers, drive fast and daily it. There are very few paint chips on my hood and front, I can count a total of 3 in my entire front. My daily beater has a lot more paint chips and my former Toyota SUV had acne all over. Punks might be able to afford it, but most likely their Zs won't be like ours, clean and well-taken care of.

Love:

1. The engine, it's acceleration, and the way it picks up RPMs.

2. The handling, taking a turn while in 2nd gear at around 5-7k RPM is a blast.

3. The way the car looks after I wash it up and make it all shiny.

4. The overall raw feeling of the car and the way it behaves, its a bad *****.

Hate:

1. The sound system.

2. Not so good interior panel quality.

3. The operating costs: maintenance, insurance, and payments.

I wouldn't really say hate, just sort of dislike. Over all I'm in love with it.

1. Worry about it too much.
2. Attracts too much attention.
3. Too much fun.

I hate how there's a clicking rattle in the back (Trunk) by the bar. Its behind passenger seat. I've seen a DIY on how to fix this in the past but can't find it anymore. Also a rattle on the passenger side dash board... any ideas how to fix?

3 things I hate the most:

1.) The cheap *** paint Nissan uses which causes easy scratches. Consult BMW and Mercedes on how to use a thicker clear coat.

2.) The noisy interior when going through a road that's being worked on (construction zone)

3.) The cheap plastic interiors that gets scratched up VERY easily, especially that cheap arm rest or the area near the speakers on the doors. If your foot hits it, GG, that's gonna leave a mark.

Other things I dislike:

4.) The lack of "pull" I get after getting past 3rd gear.


Other than that, I ADORE my Z more than anything

1) I sit way higher than I'd like.

2) the stereo is poo and the front speaker placement is garbage.

3) I never cared for the door handles.

What I don't like?

1. The constant trolling on the forums about a car I already bought. Really. Some ppl got nothing better to do, hahahahaha.



Who, would do such a thing.

I hated the stiff clutch at first, but after driving my friend's civic, I like the Z's stiff clutch better. More control and feedback! I can barely feel the clutch on the civic.
