Fun car, not a family car

2016 Nissan 370Z Sport 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

The 370Z although getting long in the tooth, having been a capable competitor of the Mustang GT, and early reintroduced Camaro has fallen behind and between. The current iterations of those previous competitors have surpassed the Z but the baseline version of those cars still fall behind the Z. This leaves the Z in a weird place it cost about the same as those improved cars, but lacks the refinements those cars received with their respective updates. I owned a 300Z during my early college years and loved it, the gauges, the performance, the looks there Z captured my attention. When the 350Z made its triumphant return to America I was intrigued, the performance and look checked two boxes on my checklist, the interior felt so cheap and bad that I left the dealer disgusted. I don't know how people justified the price when you were being sold an interior that Kia, or Hyundai wouldn't put on their cars because it was too cheap. So I waited, then the 370Z came along, the performance improved, the interior was incredible (compared to the 350z). The only problem I proudly was driving an MKV GTi, so I waited, once I had the money, and driven my faithful GTi to 100k miles, I could justify the swap. I bought my 370Z, the trim, color and options I wanted, found one on the next largest town over and argued all Saturday until a price was met all sides could accept. I am tall, 6'1" 185#s and fit in the car fine, admittedly I push the seat as far back, as low and tilted back as it will go and fit snugly. The steering wheel only adjust in height, telescoping would be nice but is not included. The radio is very basic, it has Bluetooth for calls, and if you hook your USB to an iPhone, it will let you play music as well. The climate controls are straightforward and given the cars extremely small cabin work effectively it takes little time to warm or cool. The rear hatch is not for storage, you can fit a couple small pieces of luggage for a weekend getaway but this car will not help you move from one apartment to another let alone a house (of you don't mind moving 1 box at a time maybe... No just rent a truck if you need to move stuff) I would never suggest anyone visit Nissan of Boerne in San Antonio, the sales rep and manager will leave your very angry, I disclosed these concerns with their customer care and am happy I have many dealers I can visit instead of them. If you only want performance, the Z isn't your car, it's great but needs an update, if you want looks, performance, and only 2 seats then try a Z, the smile I had test driving it I still put on every day that I continue to drive it.

Worth the money

If you are looking for performance at its best for the cheapest cost. This is your car. Dont expect to look for Porsche performance or bmw interiors or miata mileage. This has its own craze among people and Nissan provides the best in class for the bucks spent.

Like to drive? You'll love it in a "Z" !

2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO Tech 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

I have owned two 370 Z's (a Sport and a Nismo Tech) and am amazed that everyone who can do without a back seat doesn't drive one (or hire a babysitter). These cars are truly amazing. I have a 120 mile daily commute in Colorado and Wyoming and drive my Z year round (winter tires October through March) and actually look forward to my commute, every single day. I have driven in blizzards and 80mph gusts and with the snow tires on it isn't even a challenge (though I don't recommend the base model for winter driving as there is no limited slip diff). The 370 Z is absolutely amazing and the value you get for the price (sport around 32k) seems like a steal. If you have the money the Nismo is worth it (it is so much more that an extra few HP). I gave the car 4/5 overall rating only because many looking for a "Driver's car" are not willing to accept the sacrifices that a true sports car / driver's car makes to achieve the level of adrenaline pumping fun the Z-car elicits. However, if you understand this is an unapologetic track-capable machine focused entirely on making your driving fun, exciting, and a form of entertainment rather than a chore, than this is the car for you (and is undoubtedly 5/5). The 370Z is absolutely one of the purest driver cars (maybe the purest driver's car) under 100k in the world today. That being said - a driver's car is sporty and the focus is on performance and the driving experience. It is about full engagement, and if this is not what your looking for - this car is not for you (thus the 4/5 overall rating). If your looking for a drivers car for weekend outings or as a very capable and fun daily driver, (and don't carry kids and cargo much) then this is a 5/5 driver car for you. Nothing, however is perfect and there are issues that one should expect before even considering this vehicle. Mainly you must recognize that this car is not big. If you are into super big gulps and cruising with the wife and kids.... think again, the kids get kicked to the curb. Cargo space s limited, and even glove box and console space is at a premium. There is no back seat and the enormous tires/wheel wells and stabilizer bar eat up much of the back hatch storage and there is only one small cup holder; which when you have your best girl (or guy) in the car with you, can be a bit cumbersome. Getting in and out of the car can require a bit of human origami at times; as its stance and seating positions are quite low (as a sports car should be). Further, the ride is firm (though not ever unpleasant or wearisome) and the car tracks the road like a blood hound which does actually require a high level of focus when driving much above 90-95MPH. Finally, the rear visibility is just poor (but the car is oh so beautiful). Having said all of this, these issues are only issues if you are expecting this tiny unapologetic drivers car to be something else. I find the car extremely comfortable with plenty of headroom (I am 6 foot tall), and the seats (once your in them) are the most comfortable I've ever sat in (Nissan sport bucket or Ricaro racing depending upon your trim package). Pedal placement is perfect. The steering is on the heavy side, but in the very best way - with excellent feedback, quality material feel and mounted controls. Many reviews call the design "long in the tooth" as it has not been redesigned in about 9 years, but honestly I don't think this is true - if someone didn't know it, this car would pass for a 2018 design. Inside and out, this car is beautiful and well designed. It is a truly amazing performer keeping up with cars twice its price with 0-60 in around 5s (depending upon trim) and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (with lots of rpm left when there) and it starts at under 30k, making it an amazing value as well. If you like to drive, you'll like it even more in the Z, period.

Great Sports Car value!

A great sports car all around. Great engine and engine sound at RPM. Tire noise somewhat noticeable inside the cabin but this can be expected from a sports car. Only downside I see is gas mileage (26MPG) on the highway and a lack of power seats in the base model I have.

Really Cool 370Z

This is truly a fun sports car with plenty of acceleration, great suspension and overall a beautiful car. Granted the Z has not changed much in years but still offers drivers a true adrenaline rush and no matter what they its still one of the fastest cars on the road.
