a brief write up from actor/car enthusiast daniel wu

Decent analysis, just about the same issue with the 370Z with C&D testing years back!

It pretty much says a lot about the Z and what it offers

Well I’m still waiting….this video has made me really question if it’s worth continuing to do so
What worries me the most is a wrapped black roof …in the Western Australian heat I’m not sure how long that is going to last even if it is mostly garaged.
I have had cars European cars built for European weather …where the plastics on the outside fade very quickly and it’s almost impossible to restore
This is a wrap…and most only last 3-5 years in the Aussie sun …this is a big red flag

And yes I know it’s been mentioned a few times before, but always hoped it was just the media cars and that the ones going to buyers would be actual paint.
Is that really to much to wish for?

Reason 5 "poor cupholder placement" is rather interesting. In the US, the cupholders are on the far side of the console from the driver, and it seems like they'll be less bothersome. I don't actually know they'll be less bothersome because I can't actually find a Z to buy, but I'm somewhat surprised Nissan didn't make mirror image consoles for left and right drive cars.

Okay. Nevermind. I'm not surprised. They're just trying to shave costs.

I enjoyed that, great summary. Lets face it, Nissan missed the mark. After a dozen test drives I've concluded that this isn't the fun and playful rocket ship that I was hoping for.
