Performance, Style and Value
The 370Z roadster has an incredible combination of performance style and value. A great road car, the roadster (convertible) version of the 370Z w/o the sport package is relatively smooth and much quieter than the coupe. The standard 18 inch wheels are also quieter than the 19" rays. The car handles securely and the interior room is large for a 2 seater. The driving position is as comfortable as most sedans.
The early Z spirit lives on in the 370z.
Typical sports car issues such as some road noise (but not unbearable).Blind spots,small cargo area.Handles great,sexy looks,excellent performance,very reliable.

So much fun
This is my second Z, my first one was a 350z Roadster. Let me say that the improvements in the 370z are amazing and is even more fun to drive.
Luv my Z
I love the Z roadster. Fun to drive, A real head turner. I added a cold air intake and acceleration and fuel mileage have improved but the engine/exhaust sound are still only so-so. I'd recommend this car to anyone who enjoys driving.
Keeping Fingers Crossed
This is my first Z since high school. Traded in my S Class Mercedes. Love the fun of it and hopefully will continue to adjust to the road noise and sports car ride. That being said, like others backing up and changing lanes is an adventure. All the controls are at your fingertips and very comfortable seats. My husband is 6 ft. 5 in. so not for him but it's mine anyway.
TOO MANY issues... cant be fast if its broke.
I bought a 2010 with every option-touring sport nav auto. On paper its a great value, fast car, and everyday friendly. NOT in reality. Entire fuel system is not designed properly. 4 times in the shop now and keeps running out of gas while showing 1/4 left. Hard right turns cause the pump to starve and the car stalls. Tires are junk, they are poor in rain and only last 10k miles. Hankook ventus is a much better tire, rear should be up to 285 for better handling. In TX, my oil temps are routinely above 240 f. Theres a rattle in the exhaust that reduces gas mileage by 12 percent and they still havent fixed it. After talking to Nissan NA, they told me "Too bad..." Also, paint is soft.
My 3rd and BEST Z
This is my 3rd Z and the BEST one. I had a 1991 and a 1994 300z but this is a awesome improvement. I look forward to driving it everyday. It is very fast and very good looking car. Handles well and it can move when you want to. I highly recomended it!
Too many issues for brand new ca
Brand new 2010 z roadster. Beautiful car poor quality design . Roof issues from day one followed by failed speaker and steering wheel sensor recall. Replaced roof, sensor and speaker under warranty. After warranty and many trips to dealer roof continues with issues and steering wheel sensor an issue AGAIN! Love hate relationship with this car. Finally sold it 😓

So many pluses, but that road noise
I traded out of my Mercedes SLK350 to the 370Z and really like the Z much more. The Z is more of a sports car and is exciting to drive. Has MORE features and more interior room. I actually don't smash things behind the seat when I move it back. And I think the interior quality is greater in the Z. Definitely better, more attractive and comfortable seats. And now with the tilt down dash, I can have my steering wheel down and actually see my speedometer. The windows go all the way down and the cup holders don't dangle your drink over the electronics panel of radio and heat/ac. Nice. And this car really has some power and pick-up. Still on my first tank of gas so we'll have to see about that.
My first Z
I enjoyed it a lot and looking forward everyday to drive it. Very flashy and a head turner! Quick on the uptake and handles pretty well. It's a dream come true!
Z the rockect
This car rocks! Expensive BMW owners turn heads! The motor is powerful and the fuel economy is awesome. Love the exhaust note. Go Nissan engineers!.
Best overall sports car value
With the sports package you get great acceleration, great brakes, great handling, way above average reliability and a reasonably comfortable ride, especially for a sports car. Rev matching not a problem if you opt for the sports package which adds the (way) upgraded brakes, 19 inch forged Rays wheels, tasteful rear spoiler and the rev matching feature, which is a great feature.
Great car! Only a couple draw backs
Love the car! Awesome handling and a decent amount of power. Needs more low end power and better exhaust note. Fit and finish is great. Needs better paint. It isnt very durable. Bose system great, and the car is extremely fun to drive! Highly recommend. Also, Fort Wayne Nissan was great! I recommend them as well. Top notch sales and service. Great deal too!
Fun ride and a relative bargain (used)
I purchased this car used a few months back. It is a nearly pristine, one owner garage queen that had just under 20K miles on it. Save for the newer tires installed, it is an all original Touring model with the Sport Package. Having read numerous reviews, I can honestly say that they are all spot on, both in the positives and negatives. For me and my wife, now empty-nesters, it is the perfect fair weather toy to have for sunny day commutes and short trips to the mountains. A third car that you drive when you want to, not need to. Pros are performance and open aired fun. Cons are a tight interior and sketchy visibility (definitely a car that would have benefitted from the now normal blind spot and cross traffic systems!). On the pros, the engine is strong and the 7 speed auto is slick enough, if not quite perfect. Downshifts are quick with a cool audible "brap" as it blips the throttle. Other people have complained about the sound and the ride. Yes, the engine sounds course, especially on hard acceleration, but a cold air intake and aftermarket exhaust will fix that. Yes, the ride is stiff, but it has a decent level of compliance over the smaller stuff and only loses that composure when the going gets rough. It's a sports car, or nearly so. Complaining about the ride is just silly. This thing goes where you point it and the stability system is really quite good. It's never intrusive with only the flashing light being the tell that you are pushing the limits. In my experience thus far it simply gently reels you back in with no hysteria as you motor down your favorite back road. On my cons, the interior is quite tight. The shorter wheelbase of this gen is likely to blame here. My 5'11" frame JUST fits with no room to spare as the seatback is pressed hard against the rear bulkhead when adjusted to where I am just barely comfortable. Like I said earlier, this is a short trip car. The limited trunk and interior space definitely make that the case. And visibility, especially over your right shoulder, is pretty horrible. Even with the right outer mirror set wide you have to use care in making sure nothing is there before making a lane change. Also, the side view mirrors, while large by necessity, also block the view from the driver's seat. The left outer mirror blocks enough view that care must be taken when holding a line on a tighter left hand curve. Complaints like this, though, are all pointless and forgettable after you've pressed the start button, dropped the top and motored away. My car has the Touring and Sport packages which gives you a good (even by today's standard) touch screen infotainment system, decently loud and clear Bose audio system, lightweight forged wheels, upgraded suspension and larger brakes. The seats are comfortable if not a bit tight and the forced air seat chillers/heaters are awesome! Wind buffeting is average at best even with the glass cabin deflector that is built in. Again, though, this car will always entice a smile on a sunny day and that, when all is said and done, is the point. There are other options in the roadster arena. A Z4 is slightly roomier, lower and sleeker, but reliability can be sketchy and upkeep expensive. A Miata is a blast to drive and economical to own, the plus and minus being that it is a motorized roller-skate. Fun, but not for everyone and with the exception of the NC generation an even tighter fit room wise for me. A corvette would be cool, but alas I'm just not a Corvette kind of guy. Lol! Overall this car is pretty much everything that I want it to be. Fun even if not practical, fast even if not exemplary and the perfect medicine to fix an otherwise gloomy day.

Impossible to drive smoothly
Love the design; don't understand why the manual transmission can't be shifted more smoothly; and why missing a couple hundred revs causes a cacophony of drive line clamors. Traded a Z 4 for this; didn't want to pay the $20M premium for the new Z4; but the BMW manual was quiet and forgiving if rev match wasn't perfect. Driving manuals for 55 years; never had one so difficult to master.
Get the sports pkg...
-Try the sports pkg and then the base. You will notice the difference. The sports hugs the road adding better suspension and sports tires and rims. - This car will get the "you drive a beautiful car" from the girls. - This car will cause cops to slow down or pull to the side as soon as they see you...turning on every bell and whistle to give them a reason to give you a ticket. - Dont buy this car if you are going to be looking at the mpg gauge.
Just a fun car
I grew up in Germany, last car I had there was a 325i Coupe, manual, and loved it, but have stopped searching for the bang for the buck that BMW used to have in the 80's. Reliability has been questionable - my mechanic loves the 2000+ 3 series. :-) I was going to buy a 2003Z new when they came out, but due to kids almost got me an Infiniti G35 6MT, drove home with a 2003 M45, which I love and still have. Kids are grown up, and the 2010 Z 6speed with performance package in black/black is in the garage. I love this car. I looked at a 335i Coupe 6sp manual as well, very nice, but wasn't that impressed, especially when considering the price differential...
MY FIRST 2 SEATER
This car is by far the most fun vehicle I have owned, second only to my Yamaha motorcycle. Overall, it was well worth the money that I spent. The standard features are great, for example the push button start/stop and the HID headlights.
Seats only the japanese could love
The sport seats on this car are impossible for my 6'3" 200lb frame. Why i didn't get that at test drive ? I don't know but this is THE most uncomfortable car ever. Then the clutch and stick require too much effort and are notchy. The top has a permanent indent that the dealer says is supposed to be there. There is no leg room either. I had a BMW z-4 before that was perfect. The new ones are 20k more than this car and so I was swayed. What a mistake!
Great Car
Bought the 2010 370Z touring model about a month ago. Really enjoy the ride and handling. The style and shape is a big improvement over the 350 model. The manual transmission takes a little getting used to, but is worth the work.
King of the Hill
Absolutely love this car. Perfect perfect perfect. Had a 2008 350 Z and ordered this one way back in March 2008. Mine was the first one sold in the US. I agree with so many of the articles I have read about this car, it is THE best bang for your buck on the market. I am getting another new one as soon as I can swing it.
370Z Roadster 7 Speed Auto
I traded my '06 350z roadster on this '10 370z roadster. I loved the 350. But this 370 is fabulous. Taking all the other reviews into account, throwing out the 6,3" guy who is not happy w/ the room, not a surprise, I agree w/ all the good words. My wife and I love the car! The only complaint is the way too quiet and innocuous exhaust note. The same was said wrt the 350. Didn't the designers read any reviews at all? Not smart. As for road noise, I don't find it all that bad even w/ the 19" wheels etc. Of course mine is the convertible, not the coupe which I can understand would be a lot noisier for sure.
Go kart on steroids
Wow, first two seater, but I have had powerful cars before. Great handling, can't believe how well it corners. Strong motor, very linear response. Fun factor off the charts. Very impressed with the styling, especially how I see the original Z in this model. Pictures don't do it justice. Got the Black Cherry Paint in the Base sport model, but went in to buy the 40th edition Touring Sprt. When I saw this color, I decided I didn't need the touring package. Synchro-rev match is pretty cool stuff, but the motor is the real gem
What can you get better bang for buck?
Best car for money for performance but the one thing a lot people don't know about this car is bullet proof build engine and trans. Somehow you can still get 30 mpg on highway!
Love my z!
I was a bit hesitant when my husband was considering this car because of the price. After having this car for a few months, we have no regrets whatsoever! Totally worth the price and it is constantly turning heads. It's actually better on gas than I thought it was going to be and we are very pleased with what a show on TV said about it. It said if the mileage is kept low and it is maintained, it will be worth a lot in the future! Good job on this car Nissan!
'10 370 Z best sports car for the money
This is my first Z. It reminds me of an earlier generation Porsche 911. It's a Touring coupe with Sports Package and Nav package. Tremendous roadability and handling with wonderful manual 6-speed tranny, decent power and beautiful dynamics, +++ fun factor. It's more of an eye-turner than my Porsche Turbo S cab. Only dislike is the exhaust note and slow initial climb to higher RPM.
Not my first two seater
2010 Nismo Z. Exceptional build quality, extremely rigid chassis, feels like it will grip onto a corner forever. Make sure to check your front springs after delivery! Z's are being sold with spring spacers still installed (helps keep the bumper off the groud during shipment). Road noise is no issue for me, wish the exhaust and engine note were a bit more noticeable.
