Any regrets?

Huh... my son is 6'2" and says he has no leg room. Weird.

I'm just happy he can't drive it (too uncomfortable), he'd kill himself in an hour driving it.

I mean it's not going to be as roomy as a normal sedan, truck or SUV and to someone who is not used to sports cars I could see where they would say there is "no" leg room. Trust me though, for a sports car / coupe you can do a lot worse.

I really am not exaggerating when I say the Z is comfortable for me. I would not have spent the money I did on one if I was uncomfortable at all in it. I can ALMOST stretch my legs all the way out with the seat all the way back and lowered all the way down. I have it up and a bit closer though. A little bend in my legs is all I have and I can lean my head back and almost look straight up before the bill of my hat barely touches the roof.

longest drive was 8 hours in one day. 4hrs there and 4hrs back - no issues and I enjoyed every minute of it. Cannot wait to do a longer trip this summer.

So... again, not a regret... but they cheaped the hell out on the hood rod and no engine bay light. Dope slap to the designers, $50k+ vehicles should not have pre 21st century garbage in them. If you're trying to save weight, redesign the damned hood hinges... the 1 whole pound you saved with the hood rod and no light REALLY pisses people off when you're trying to check under the hood in the freaking dark.

How have the clutch been holding up, those with 25K miles or more? Synchros? Trying to spot any weak links in the drivetrain

I agree about the hood prop, should be struts. However, I have not seen an under hood light on a vehicle since the 80-90's era. The other throw back is the screw on gas cap. The last 4 vehicles I owned had capless design. Again, the bean counters won over on these cars and most of the 350/370 components carried over to this version. Overall a fun car to drive, but they definitely could have done more to modernize it considering the huge price increase over the 370.

No regrets just small things like no hood struts or remote start. Otherwise, it is a great car for the price.

Weird about the hood prop, I noticed that even the Frontier has hood struts. Wonder if the Z doesn't due to the hood poppers?

Traded my 2023 supra for the Z. Zero regrets.

Traded my 2023 supra for the Z. Zero regrets.

I traded a ‘19 corvette Z06 7spd. (Don’t care for the C8). Wanted a more ‘useable’ sports car. VERY impressed w the new Z.

My Z gets more attention than M3's, M4's and of course the C8's because they are more common on the streets, at least where I live in SFlo. No regrets.

Only regret is the price i paid instead of the savings there are now. Zs in my area now are discounted to 6-10k now. A nismo just listed for 10k off also.

Traded my 2023 supra for the Z. Zero regrets.

I also traded in my 23 Supra 6MT for a 24 Performance 6MT. Both had qualities I liked, but I don't regret buying the Supra or buying the Z. I would like a remote start for those cold days though.
