M13KYF Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 A list written up by ir-fuel. Here is what they told me on 350zuk.com These are the changes to the interior - 1. Shiny Air-Con Knobs 2. Soft-touch plastic/better quality plastic all around you. 3. More shiny aluminiumey bits. 4. Better position for the hazard warning light switch. 5. better position for the heated seat switches. 6. Nicer, bigger, illuminated buttons on the steering wheel 7. Illuminated cup holders (in doors) 8. Coin tray in dashboard 9. More/ better storage near the handbrake area 10. Bluetooth integrated phone module as standard 11. Speed-sensitive power steering 12. Lighter clutch pedal (I prefer this) 13. material covering in door pockets. 14. Improved button on dashboard cubby door. 15. Nicer rear strut bar cover. 16. slightly nicer "tonneau cover" yeah, the bottle holders in the doors, Ali bezels round the guages, which I just noticed reflect the red from the needles and look really schweeeet, card holder in dash, Dash cubby door that actually fits, Double bottle/cup holder in the centre console, Bigger knee pads, bigger passenger net, Bi zenon headlamps, LED tail lamps, Annoying ding when you go over 15mph without the seatbelt on, Redesigned front bumper, wider at the bottom, looks lower to me too, less slats on the grille, which are now gunmetal not cheapo looking black plastic, more as I fink of em ...now to continue the list of improvements - Of course there's the 296bhp engine (up by 20bhp) There's a new redline of 7,000rpm (up by 400rpm) Variable Valve Timing on the exhausts as well as the inlets 18" Rays Alloys as standard wheels 2 colour improvements - Pearlescent Black (Ebisu) and something else that I can't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 6. Nicer, bigger, illuminated buttons on the steering wheel Don't think this one is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captint Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think what this means is more luxury less of a sports car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think what this means is more luxury less of a sports car ehm, i can hardly understand why changing the position of certain buttons and changing the color of some things make it less of a sports car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captint Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Not at all really, just had to take a punt at defemding the older model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathys Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 ^^^^^^ Less a sports car maybe due to the added weight to the 2006 model, less stiff clutch, speed sensitive power steering, more cupholders/storage space than a family car....

Trev-the-Rev Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The extra weight is more than compensated for by the 20 bhp increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 How much weight was added then? Just a bit, not enough to notice it I think. I was just trying to defend the 03-05 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
