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!
Nice little roadster

The 2012 Nissan 370Z is a very nice little roadster. Great acceleration with smooth shifting (Automatic with optional shift paddles). This car holds the road extremely well and is a pleasure to drive especially on rural/urban roads. With the top down on the highway, it is a little noisy but you would expect that to happen.

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.

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!
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.
