polarbear Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 So, after almost 3 months of waiting I finally got to pick my new 370 up on Saturday Westway Nissan in Oxford were very helpful and chucked in mats, a full tank of fuel and the cost of putting my plate on retention. Overall, I'm impressed so far and it's massive step-up from the 350. Pros - 59 plate - faster - lots of new toys to distract me - 7-speed paddle-shift auto is good without being overly sharp or slack (ever driven a Alfa with selespeed ) - sharper and generally more responsive - major interior improvement over the 350 Cons - pax window isn't properly resetting after closing the door so back to the dealer, ho hum. - not sure about the multi-function readout to the left of the speedo. Looks bit tacky?? - more of a GT than an out-and-out sports? - having to eventually replace those 275/35 19s on the back - not enough time in the country to drive it! - still haven't gotten around to changing my signature Quote

Ebized Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I can feel the warmth down here in Epsom I hadn't spotted that either Stew and had wondered Quote
JimO Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Whats the overall speed differential like, does it feel hugely faster in say a straight, up to 60, through twisties, etc?? Also, I guess some pics would be good Quote
polarbear Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 What colour did you go for? Titanium Grey according to what it says below - and yes, I know TTIWWP. Hopefully the sun will shine this weekend and I can start snapping. Quote
polarbear Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Whats the overall speed differential like, does it feel hugely faster in say a straight, up to 60, through twisties, etc?? Still (ahem) running in, but I think the pickup is quicker and it is more eager to rev (VVEL perhaps?) It definitely feels more planted and less skittish than the 313 350, but then it has got loads more rubber and a wider track. ESP light is noticeable by its absence most of the time. Quote
mattstoke Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I agree with Polar...370 is such a good car even after owning the 350! Iv'e had mine for 6 weeks now and im still loving it....and looking for excuses to take it out for a spin! Have to agree with a couple of the Cons as well, passenger window isn't resetting properly on mine either, also it is Defo more of a GT than out and out sports car...if that's a con i'm not sure, depends on your outlook (and age) I suppose. I do a lot of motorway miles so it's a massive step forward for me from the 350 in terms of ride, cabin quality and comfort. One thing I am failing to get my head around is the synchro rev, doesn't seem to do that much to me? is it just me? Quote
polarbear Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 passenger window isn't resetting properly on mine either Have you tried the reset fix in the manual? Close door, put window fully down, put fully up and continue to hold button for +3 seconds. Worked perfectly for me Quote
mattstoke Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks Polar I'll try it!! I have done the typical bloke thing...dive right in, without even looking at the manual!!! Will give it a go in a min! Quote
