It's fun to drive, gets good gas mileage. Doesn't go well in snow.
You SHOULD put your top down....However, if the top stops working, don't let Nissan tell you that the hydraulics need to be replaced. Find a mechanic who can work on your car and find the problem. It's likely the wiring harness. Also, the slave cylinders have issues and require the use of high performance fluids if you have a manual transmission. My issues have more to do with Nissan and the service people than my car...

This car will grab the attention of anyone that sees it going down the road.
I enjoy the gear paddles on the wheel, instead of the old style gear shifter. It is a very cool feature. Drives amazing and handles corners extremely well. Even though it takes premium gas, it gets really good country road gas mileage. The only downside would be visibility changing lines due to blind spots.

It is really fast and it is a rare color.
There are no current problems with my car. When first purchased, they changed all fluids in my car which was really helpful. I am really glad that I ended up purchasing my car. It rides really smooth and could not want any other vehicle. It has not broken down once in the time I have had it.

Beating GPS eta since 2012.
Because it is a base model, Does not come with all the bells and whistles, but what it lacks in gadgetry, it more than makes up for in performance. The small cabin space is perfect for winters where the entire car can warm up in less than 15 minutes. The worst thing about the 370, I'd have to say, are the blind spots. I have to quadruple check sometimes before I switch lanes because my factory side mirrors visual range is fairly limited. It is the design of the car itself though so you will not hear me crying too loud about that.

Fun car to drive. Affordable and comfortable. The tire life is not long.
Very reliable car with comfortable seating for a affordable sports car. The only issue is that the wheels are quick to go bald (depending on how you drive it) and that you would have to go to the dealership or local garage to adjust the camber of the car.

2012 370Z sports car is the best bang for your buck.
2 seats, 332 hp VQ37VHR, 7 Speed Auto, Pearl white, comfort nice for a sports car. Sounds great, notorious reliability. Base model, so minimum features but has all the basic necessities like power lock and windows, radio with AUX, paddle shifters, and great AC.

Obstacle getting in car/no USB.
Hard to get in and out of the vehicle, physically, since car is so low. I myself am not that tall (5ft 3'). There are no USB outlets in vehicle, have to buy USB plug-ins, so it is a nuisance with the extra wires (USB wire plus the plug-in USB wire)..

Great performance car, but not a practical car.
The 370z performs really well. Zero-to-60 times are very impressive, braking is fantastic. The raw performance is the biggest plus of this car. Problems have been minimal. Comfort is strong, provided you do not need more than two seats. The features list is also impressive with many comforts. The drawbacks of this car includes lack of practicality for many functions. This is not just being a two-seater, but that there is little storage room. Transporting large items just is not an option. In terms of features, the 370z definitely needs a blind-spot detection system as those spots are huge.

The vehicle is interesting because not many people have it.
I like how the seats are cushioned, it is much better than other cars I have previously driven. I have never had a problem driving the vehicle, it is a very reliable make. The only thing I would suggest if heated front seats for the driver and front passenger.
