Drove a Coupe today and loved it (even though it was an auto), so now got to decide new/used and a colour (thinking twilight) and see what can be done to improve the exhaust note. Good god it's a handsome looking car

Yes and No. Good points: -Helpful, friendly dealership staff. -Love the interior of the car, a vast improvement over the 350z I test drove a few years ago. -Liked the styling despite the fact I drove a roadster. Really looking forward to seeing a coupe in the metal now. -Synchro rev match is brilliant -Good brakes -Good handling & ride quality Not so good points: -Not as quick as I'd hoped. Maybe because it only had 3k miles on it but more likely because I was not inclined to use higher revs because the engine felt so harsh up there. -Worst of all was the total lack of character in the exhaust note - I think this adds to the feeling of a harsh engine note (as do the vibrations through the gear stick) The last two points were compared to my current Alfa 156 GTA. T was no quicker and this particular 370z's engine character and sound quality pale in comparison to the Alfa V6 To be honest I was a bit dissapointed in the car BUT will still look for a coupe to drive and hope that one is nicer, as I really want to like and maybe own one of these cars, fingers crossed. Cheers, Rich

Thanks mate, looking forward to the drive tomorrow, just wish I could get to see/drive a Coupe

Thanks mate, it was Noel I spoke to today. Are they up for a bit of a haggle on price?

Hey what a friendly place this is, thanks for all the replies so far, I'll follow up on the suggestions. I've spent another hour on the phone and Bognor Regis can source a manual roadster for me to drive on Friday, not perfect but a good start (everyone else seems to have either an auto roadster or nothing). Any feedback on Bognor Regis Nissan? Bloke I spoke to has been by far the most helpful so far and reckons to have sold three 370z's in the past few weeks. @ Simon + Kat - thanks for your kind offer, I'd appreciate a look at your Zed if possible. I'll PM you if thats OK?

Afternoon all, I'm new to the site so wanted to say hi and maybe ask a favour of anyone with a 370z in the Portsmouth/south coast area. I've been trying to get a look at and/or drive in a car through Nissan dealers for a couple of weeks now but none of them have come up trumps yet (almost seems like they don't want to sell me a car). Nissan customer services are on the case but no luck as yet. Anyone down here know the secret of getting a test drive or have one they can show me around? Cheers, Rich
