Thumbs up impressions on my new 370z

I picked up a black 370z base w/sport package this Saturday and I am very pleased with the new car. I drove an 06 350 before, and i can say that it is definitely an upgrade. like every1 else says...it looks better in person...especially with the sports rims and the spoiler.

interior:
big upgrade...alot less of the cheap plastic crap that used to scratch and look horrible. seats are comfortable and supportive. armrests are padded and in perfect location. also..it has a real glove box! and more room in the rear cuz the bar is moved to right behind the seats
downside: DOESNT HAVE TPMS...and it doesnt display the mph like the 350...i was very upset with that because i am not used to staring at the speedo (small complaint, but true). the led gas gauge and temp gauge are fine...perfectly visible both day and night. good thing is that there is an instant mpg reading.
there is only one power outlet...which means only my radar can get plugged in. lastly, since i dont have nav, i have the little cubby hole in the middle and the door doesnt open all the way. all minor complaints, but things i could get used to. all in all, interior wise is an A.

driving: great fun to drive....much quicker than my 06. no noise from a clunky gear box, no vibration in the shifter...very refined. And...it has cruise control! my base 06 did not, and since i drive alot, it's great to have.

you all have probably read all of the reviews so i dont need to talk too much more about it. Just wanted to say that it's a great car so far, love the way it sounds, drives, and looks. I definitely recommend it. if u have any questions...just ask.

Congratulations on your purchase. On my touring, there are two power plugs: one under the glovebox, one in the center console under the cupholder tray. I thought there was the same setup on the Base I test drove. All cars are required to have a TPMS. It should be there by law.

Why so many of these threads!? Why aren't the Admin of this forum step in a categorize? I would never let this happen on my forum. I think it should be time to have a 350 and 370 section.

It probably does have TPMS, but it doesnt show it unless your air level is low..

You can probably splice the power line of your radar internally using the stereo lines or dome light. My buddy did that on this M3 with a Valentine. He put the radar on the passenger side right next to the rear view mirror. I think its a great spot since your used to looking that way anyways.

BTW: Congrats on the new car. Gotta love that new smell. What's your first mod? Zele front bumper?! =D
