I really wanted to like the 350Z, I tried, but the damn things feel so cheap.
Test drove a new one not long ago and the thing had more frikken rattles than my 15 year old P-car.
'Shoddy' build quality is an understatement - but I liked the engine, and with the FI kits on the market, you can build an E46 M3 killer for 60% of the Bimmer's price.
