Deleting now...

He complains about EVERYTHING. Eg. "No back seat" For the love of god, this guy reviews Ferrari's and Lambo's and I've never heard him complain about a lack of a rear seat in those.

no kidding, what a WHINER. I think he went a bit overboard and that he's been a bit too pampered with driving all of those Ferrari's to really see the "Zed" for what it is. A zippy sports car with a tag under $40K.

I give his review a D+. A 2 out of 30, he missed all of the points that the Z stands for. Better luck next time chap.

I’d be annoyed with it too if all I was going to do was putz around a few back roads listening to ‘60s music.

Lots of things I could find wrong with the review, but meh… why bother. Opinions are like a$$holes, as they say…

Ouch, z350Maniac, I think you hit a little to close to home for iChiBahN........

I guess he is used to getting what a 2/30 really is, an F!

So from now on, lets consult iChiBahN on all grade issues because apparently he is the authority on graduating from high school (where he learned words such as "prolly" and "talkin").

Ramble on iChiBahn....

Ehh, know I know where this chump is from; the Food Channel (no, seriously - he's a food reviewer, not even a chef or anything).

How can you complain that the stereo is too loud ('specially a Bose)?? I mean, you can turn it down, right?

Wow, what a review... Effort of driving it is too much for him? I guess it's harder driving cars than eating food and flapping your gums about it..

"Well, I'm sure it's as fast as they say, but it doesn't feel like it." Isn't that usually a good thing? Given the choice between a slow car that feels fast, or a fast car that hides it's speed... Maybe he oughtta stick to reviewing food.

That was some weak ****

Wink What a drone!

Regarding the 350Z video critique by some British lame-brain commentator:

While I was viewing this rather useless trash from an obviously uninformed has-been culinary individual, I had wondered what was the ultimate point of his Z bashing. Hmmm, it surely couldn't have been a clever rouse to prepare the viewer for a Part II video entitled "Legends from British Leyland.......when they actually ran" If that be the case, then I say okay: "Bring on Part II." We could all handle a good laugh. It would definitely be far more humorous than the highly expendable Part I amateur video.

Reflecting on some of the more peculiar but enjoyable commentary, such as;

"........but it never really feels that fast, somehow." - Was he talking about playing a video game or driving a Z?
"........such an exhausting car to drive." - He really should have gotten a good night's rest for this immense challenge.
"........headache from that wearisome drone" - Take two aspirins and call someone who really gives a sh**.
"........pulsating through an enormous sub woofer in the small of your back." - Enormous?! Stay away girls, he's a bit delusional.

And of course, my all time favorite video commentary was the Imbecilic reference to a drummer from the band, def lepperd. He claims that there are two reasons he will refrain from driving 'very very berserk'. He points out that this drummer drove his muscle car (a corvette) down the very same rode (ooooooooohhh) that the 'man talking behind the wheel' was currently passing through. He implies that doing so, one must endure that wearisome drone that drives him mad and will undoubtedly result in some sort of crash. These inevitable events will leave you with a very limited choice in your future vehicle selection. (ex: you'll be forced to drive cars that sport a **** on your steering wheel)

Uhhhh, right.........ummm......yah......sad story.........but this would have "WHAT?!" to do with a 350Z test drive? HUH?!

Anyway, when you first see that BBC World logo, you had to know right off the bat that they weren't going to get it right. Not even close. So, download the file if you wish. Then sit back for good laugh or two. However, if there is NO aforementioned Part II follow up video made available to view.... then go right ahead and have some more fun deleting this otherwise useless file! Yup!

Oh Clive, it must be that wearisome drone.

Ta Ta, Ole Chap! (and iChi this)

I found his review exhausting and wearisome. This pansy should stick to reviewing Bentleys or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or... or anything other than a true sports car. And why in the world did he review the automatic? He was exhausted after driving the automatic... hahahahahahahaha

What a horrid review. He seriously had some sort of agenda going into this review and made some of the most totally ridiculious and overall just plain strange comments I have ever heard in a car review

Lol, forget about my comment about him testing the automatic. I forgot that it was a British right drive model.

of course it's not a D+ if you watched the video closely at the end he gives the z a 3 out of 10 and a C- grade. See how my mocking tone of him fits in so well. Sorry if I made fun of the man that you're obviously involved with in a love affair of something, but last I checked I didn't insult him and say he was so dumb as to not have graduated from school (B.S. in Chemical Engineering, betcha you feel small now, don'tcha? ) So why then did you feel the need to go and attack me and my intelligence (or what you feel is lacking thereof.)?

Also I wonder if YOU have been graduated from highschool yet seeing as how your grammar is lacking. I believe what you meant to ask is "if I HAD graduated from highschool yet." So before you post something trying to "show" someone up YOU might want to

think b4 u speak or dont' speak @ all have a good one mate.
