i wanted one ... but not 2 seater....

Then wanted a supra, but its basically a 2 seater...

thought the backseats would have had more room in the 86, but FAIL.. still buying it as my kid will still fit in the back ... WIN

I saw that. Most guys out there are trying to make a 2-3K profit on GT's and this fella wants almost 20k profit! Sad thing is I bet someone will pay for it too

I don't see it as all that sad, I'd be stoked if someone bought that off me...

For me who's cancelled my 86 early August, and bought a 370Z, I find that the driving position in the Zed is just fine - it is higher than the 86, but the more time you spend in the car, the more you get used to it.

I come from a 350Z in 2006 and find that the 370Z takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do you won't ever go back!

Give it a go and see whether you like it!

Thank you TMCA for screwing things up and thus I've bought a 370Z after all (I am actually thankful even though it costs twice as much - it is more refined than the 86).

i have tried to like the 370Z a few times actually, been to nissan 3 times and sat in them..
but they are reluctant to give me a test drive unless i agree to buy the car that day.
what a way to sell the car.. im trying to like it and they wont give me the chance to get hooked.

i hate high driving positions. thus i LOVE the 86

It's also a V6 not a F4(boxer), i think?

Go to a different Nissan dealer and find the one you like.

I suppose you have tried lowering the 370Z seat as much as possible - is it still not as low as you'd like?

I personally don't mind the higher seating as it's easier to get out and I don't feel like as if my bum is only cm's from the asphalt

My dealer went all the way so as to prepare a new 370Z so I could test drive it as much as I want, then finally when the White 370Z that I wanted was available (it was driven by the sales manager) I test drove that one too!

Yeah the 370Z is a V6, due to its very linear power delivery and weight it probably is more of a powerful grand tourer than a nimble sports car like the 86, but I still love it!

More refined than an 86 , sure if that is what you like to believe in. Check out the following video. Just FYI. dont want to turn this into 86 vs 370 thread.

Yes i suppose i could just put a recaro in the 370z but then i would lose the OEM look. and its additional cost i dont want.
