Whilst I check the forum frequently, you'll find most of the UK owners on www.350Zuk.com - Check it out

BTW - I love my Z

Two months & 600mi into ownership and there are only three -ve points i have discovered 1) Beware of Icy mornings as the door windows freeze prventing the Auto Window release from operating - consequence is window glass catches roof on opening door. 2) Shifting form 1st to 2nd is difficult - improves when g/box is warmed through but still very noticeable. 3) Shudder and accompanying noise from back end when pulling away from stationary - initially thought I had a warped clutch but went and tried the dealers Demo and it was identical - not sure if there is something resonating, if there is a mechanical shudder or if it may be the Traction Control working ? Apart from this the car is absolutely superb.

Sweet, cheers for that. I had the same prob with the windows in my old TT so able to cope with that. I am surprised about the dear box though, the demo i drove had about 1500mi on the clock and the change was really nice, much better than the TT box and a dodgy old celica gt4 i had before that. Prehaps with a few more miles on the clock it will improve.

The shudder in the rear transmission is odd, i didnt notice it when i drove the demo, but i wasnt pushing it at all.. i will keep it in mind though when i take my first drive and if it does it i will ask them about it!

once again thanks for your input it is much apprechiated.

Tom

Both 2 and 3 seem to get better with miles. 3000 up now and getting sweeter to drive all the time
