Bradders Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Was never very sure about the look of the 370z. Always thought it had a high waistline. Bit like Simon Cowell. Never seen one in black though and that has changed my mind utterly. I think I have found my next car. Not yours obviously. I aint gonna come round and nick it Bradders Quote

The black is a nightmare to keep clean, especially this time of year, but definately worth it. I know what you mean about the look of the 370s, they can look a little "awkward" from certain angles when you see them in photographs, but its a completely different beast in the flesh - it looks very low and wide, and almost like an exotic!! Hope you get one, I'm sure you'll love it. I'll be taking more pictures soon..... see if I can convert more of you 350 owners!!! Quote
Chris`I Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Matt, just caught up with this, see you got my PM ok on the US site Quote
bronzee Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 No, I've never had a Zed before, but always fancied the 350. Unfortunately the ridiculous amount of mileage that I do each year meant that I've always had to have something "sensible" and with a diesel engine That sounds very practical and very good idea, keeping the daily driver. You'll enjoy that Zed when you're behind the wheel even more. Quote
MattyR Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Matt, just caught up with this, see you got my PM ok on the US site Yes I did Chris, thanks very much for telling me about this site... I was worried that I might not be able to make most of those US meets!!! Quote

You'll enjoy that Zed when you're behind the wheel even more. The best thing is... that Astra does about 60mpg if I'm really carefull, so when I get in the Zed I have no guilty feelings when my left foot hits the floor and the clock is screaming "20mpg" at me, because really that means in total I'm averaging a very respectable 40mpg!!!
