Bobbyheinz Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Hey all, so after lusting after one ever since I got my 350, I'm now the proud owner of a fully loaded white 370z GT. I picked it up from Leeds yesterday and then drove the 222 miles back, so thought I'd share my initial thoughts The good bits *Looks - love it, aggressive and modern and I can honestly say the car's almost immaculate. *Interior - sat nav and sound system are great. Also the seats are much better in my opinion. On the way down in the 350, I had to stop 3 times because my back was so sore...I've always had trouble with this on even shortish drives (I sound old...I'm only 23...I just knackered my back at the gym when I was a lot younger). Anyway, I only made one quick stop on the journey home and my back was absolutely fine....in conclusion I find the 370 way more comfortable. *The handling feels very sharp and the steering much more responsive than the 350. *The synchro rev is a nice wee addition especially when driving in heavy traffic...it just makes everything seem so effortless. The not so good bits *I know it's well established but bloody hell the exhaust is crap. Start up sounds like you're in a 2L Diesel 4x4 or something....I'll have to get that sorted *I've also noticed that when I lean forward whilst belted in, the seat belt becomes slack and doesn't tighten itself as it should. Anyway ideas on how to sort this? Also, do the 09/59 models not have the ability to stream music from a phone? The wife seems to like her...always a plus haha Edited January 26, 2014 by Bobbyheinz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 She look's gorgeous ~ the wife that is, not the Zed. I jest, both look gorgeous. ;) As for the seat belt problem you could always buy one of those "CG" locks. I've heard that they are really good. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/300962998624?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&lpid=95&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=95&ff19=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
