Great car, but know your options
I wish I'd done more research on this car before buying but.. Ride comfort and road noise is tolerable but don't be surprised if others complain about it. Unless you're pulling some Fast and Furious **** or tracking the car, the base model has ample power. This car is a serious looker and is a lot more uncommon than the new Mustangs, 5th gen Camaros or whatever other RWD 2 door sports coupe you're comparing it to. Just know that there are other options present/will be present, especially at similar and lower prices. The new Mustang has been out for a bit, the 6th gen Camaro is coming, there are rumors of a new Genesis Coupe and Dodge Challenger as well as a new 370z in the next few years.
don't believe what you hear..
all I have read in virtually every review from "experts " is that there are better choices available. really? name one!. My 2014 grey 370z roadster is an absolute superstar. It is stunning to look at. I am shocked when i go a single day without compliments or admiring glances. The power is awesome. The engine sound is brutal, in a good way. The handling and braking are true sportscar. It is absolutely reliable and the oil changes are the same price as a sentra. And I paid $38,900 for my base roadster. Now in a two seat sportscar, what car on this planet does what the Z does ??.A corvette roadster for $55,000?. A boxster for $ 60,000?..And don't make me laugh By even mentioning a miata or an FRS. And by the way, a mustang is NOT a Z competitor!, that competes with camaros and challengers, and phony auto journalists should know that. The Z is unique in the price range, and it is an excellent true sportscar!

Oh Baby! Sweet Ride!
Zena now has 134,000 miles on her, purchased brand new in 2016 with only 19 miles on her. I had never owned a Nissan brand before or a sports car, for that matter. I had a choice from a 370Z base model, either automatic or manual shift; a Sport Tech; or the Nizmo. I chose the 370Z Sport Tech with manual shift. I did my homework before I even stepped inside the dealership and would recommend you do the same. I had dealerships compete in an online competition to give me the best price, in writing. I then drove 100 miles away to get nearly $7,000 off what the other dealers were selling her for in my area. I used Edmunds.com and Truecar.com to get online estimates and made sure the Internet Rep of the dealerships honored their bid. Obviously, this car being a two seater sports car, you are not going to have a lot of cargo storage space, but surprisingly she can carry a lot. She does pick up alot of road noise via the tires and sitting so low to the ground but if you are listening to the BOSE stereo system or Sirius XM you learn to love the sound. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. MPH is about the same as my last car G6, nothing stupendous to write home about 23 city/27 highway. She uses only premium gas (91) so consider how much you can afford for gas as in California we pay the highest amount for gasoline in the country. By the way, I am a single female, with no minor children. I bought this car, not out of practicality, but because I wanted her. If I could change anything about my experience buying her, it would be dealing with male managers of the dealerships who think blonde females are stupid when it comes to cars. Zena is gorgeous to look at and people (men especially) stop to tell me so. This car hugs the turns and picks up speed fast. The only negative issues I've experienced when driving across country are road conditions are horrible with many pot holes. You tend to drive carefully and defensively as the 370Z sits extremely low to the ground. There are only two things I'd change on her if I could. 1) I'd love leather seats. 2) I'm 5'7" and drive with my seat pushed closer to the clutch and would move the center counsel forward by 3 or 4 inches. All the required maintenance based on mile input has been done and up until this year she required nothing more than regular oil changes and one time replaced front and rear brakes. Last year I changed out her clutch. Don't use dealer for such repairs after your cars warranty has expired as they are too expensive. Make friends with a certified, independently, factory trained mechanic in your area to save money or do it yourself. It's imperative you change the belts and spark plugs at 100,000 miles plus have the mechanic check for power steering hose condition, and coolant container, as they tend to dry out. I just had all those replaced for hardly nothing and Zena drives better than ever. I cannot express how much I love this car. I plan on giving her to my grandson when he turns 18. She needs to remain in premium condition. As he is only 12 now, Zena will probably need a new paint job by then, as I've noticed her clear coat is just now starting to flake off in spots. Great car!

A Gem, Actually a Pearl
This my third Z, and I'm more than brand loyal. The Zs are fun to drive, incredibly reliable, and relatively safe for sports convertibles. You could buy two of these cars for what you might pay for a Porsche. The Bose sound system is crystal clear, and the road sound dampening improvements in the 2016 cars are a real plus.

My fourth Z and the best so far
Since I have bought four of these so far, you can safely assume I think highly of this car. Since I have had such good luck with previous models I bought this sight unseen and assumed it would be OK. It has been a great experience so far. (Only 2 months). I have always relied on a Z for basic commuting. I only need to bring myself and a briefcase so a 2-seater is ideal. They have all been nimble and quick, even the 300ZX. The direct comparison I will make is to the 350Z that I just traded in. First I assume it will be a good resale value because I got back much more than I expected for a ten year old 350Z. ($7500!) The experience is overall the best yet. The 370 is the quickest yet, But: The 350 was made to be faster with a lighter push on the accelerator, giving the impression of being quicker. With the same amount of pedal travel, the 370 accelerates less quickly. However, about pushing half way down it clearly is quicker than the 350. Flooring it really shows it to be MUCH quicker from 0 to 40 or so. And a lot louder too. The steering is very precise, but the steering wheel moves with a very light touch, easier than any past Z. The interior feels very similar to the 350 with a few upgrades. The seat, although manual, fits me like a glove. There is a much better layout of storage areas. The 350 had no glovebox, and the 370 does and has rear storage areas also. The USB connector is in the center console storage box. Unfortunately the interior lights are all regular incandescents which I hate since they can kill the battery if left on. I changed 5 of them out for LED lights. You can find these for a few bucks on Amazon. I was initially unhappy about paying for the upgraded Bose stereo in the sport package (you have no choice if you want the larger brakes and viscous slip differential). However I must say it sounds better than I expected, and better than the Bose stereo that came with past Zs. But not nearly as good as the premium systems in either the BMW 335 or the Grand Cherokee which I have experienced long-term. I like the exterior much better: it looks muscular and aggressive. And they got rid of the shark tooth front. The LED running lights are decent looking as well. There are not many of these cars around and I am just fine with that. There are 100 BMWs and mercedes and vettes and porsches for every Z that I see and I don't care. I love the way this car looks and I can afford a 911. I just think it's nuts to toss out $100 k on a car. In fact I see more GT-Rs than Zs around here. The brakes are much better than past models. I have the sport model with larger discs and they slow the car very well for street driving. One point to make, the rear visibility is not so hot. I perceive a pretty big blind spot on the two rears, so if you have problems looking over your shoulder, this might not be a good choice for you. I can make up for it by altering my position in the car to look with the side mirrors. Bottom line: This car is an unqualified bargain for $34k. If I live long enough I will get the 390Z or 400Z or whatever the next one is named. Update: After having this car for 2 years, I would say there is only one thing that has become a problem for me: Non-Linear Accelerator pedal. For lack of a better term, this is how I describe it. There is a "dead spot" in the middle 1/3 of the pedal travel which is mainly noticeable when you are already going about 30-40mph, and you try to accelerate by pressing down a significant amount, about halfway down, and almost nothing happens. It accelerates a tiny bit, but barely. Then you keep inching the pedal down and then suddenly it downshifts 2 gears and wails off like like a rocket with much more intense acceleration. Other reviewers have called it a "slow to downshift" situation. This is a silly way of programming the pedal. It is so goofy that at those speeds I just shift to manual mode and shift it myself. I wish they could re-program this. My dealer has no idea what I'm talking about. I still like this car, and keeping it in manual shifting will make it liveable,

Blast to drive
My wife and I were looking to get back to our youth, we test drove multiple sports cars, (Frs, Brz, Mx-5 etc) but as soon as we drove this car, it was the car for us. We love the style being old Datsun 240 fans, performance, power, ride quality, comfort and price. We purchased a 2016 Magma sport tech. Everyone loves this color and style. I hear that the 370Z model is getting old and this may be, but don't overlook this car because of that. It's a proven sports car and a blast from the past to drive.

Everything but the seats
2016 is late in the model life of the 370Z, and it appears Nissan has worked out all the bugs and the Z has become a very reliable vehicle. The Sport Tech model has all the bells and whistles a person could need. Handling is great with very brisk acceleration and steering. The 370Z is the perfect evolution of the famous Nissan Z line. After the first two weeks and 500 miles, I took the Z on a 2900 mile 4 day trip. Weither cruising the Interstate at 80MPH or winding through the mountains of North Carolina, the Z performs flawlessly. The tires are somewhat noisy but a throaty exhaust easily compensates. As much as I like this vehicle, I am extremely disappointed with the seats! A $40k vehicle and both front seats are crappy, mechanical ones expected in a vehicle a third the price. The seats are also so narrow and uncomfortable only a teenager could be comfortable in them. When I was shopping, I didn't even ask about power memory seats; I just assumed they were standard for the price. If my trade hadn't already been sold, this would have killed the deal. I was told power memory seats weren't necessary in this type of sports car and by opting for manual seats they save space and weight. No, its a bean counter's way to cut cost. Every valet, every car wash, every mechanic has to crank the seat to suit THEM and I it seems to take me forever to get the seat adjusted to my comfort again. Every other vehicle I've owned the past 20 years has had power memory seats; push a button and its all back to my setting. Even the 370Z Roadster has power seats.

+why you should or should not buy a Z
You should buy a Z if your looking for a fun driving experience! You shouldn't buy a Z for going from point a to point b because there's times you don't get to point b. Numerous times I've found my self passing my designations ( point b ) and just keep on driving because of the thrill I get while driving rhe Z.

13 years in the making
I fell in love with the 2003Z, my mechanic had one. At that time I was a single mom with two daughters to raise. My love for the Z never waivered. Fast forward 13 years to 2016, for my 69th birthday I got my Z. She's the standard automatic coupe. I decided to lease first because after all I was 69 years old and didn't know, being up in years, if this car was the one for me. Well I've had her a year and have turned 70 years old this month. When my lease is up I plan to purchase her or lease the 2019. Drove her to Las Vegas and on the open highway she handles the curves like a dream. The Z is simply GREAT EYE CANDY, I get lots of looks and comments. My mechanic says its one of the most reliable sports cars on the market. He went on to say that the Z almost never breaks down and if it is towed its more than likely been in an accident. It roomy to me, back in 2003, weighed almost 300 pounds and have very long legs and I had enough room. Now with the 2016 and weighing only 145 pounds it's more than enough room. I have no issues with the trunk space, purchased a coffee table and I got it in the trunk along with several bags of groceries. Would have liked the standard model to have adjustable motorized driver seat. I'm retired so the Z was attainable.

Fun car, not a family car
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" !
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.

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.

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.

Used but not abused
Bought this blue touring 370Z with only 8,900 miles and in great condition and I love it. The auto trans is awesome with paddle shifters and the price was in line with a cheap basic new Econo car. It is an old design but very well made and highly desirable for true car aficionados. Highly recommended if you find one well taken care off.

370Z Touring / Automatic / 2016
Only problem are the blind spots. One must be good at using mirrors and used to sports car. The road noise is louder than most cars, but the stereo has noise cancellation and that works fairly well. Acceleration and handling are phenomenal. The ride is pretty good. Getting in and out of the car is OK, not great, unless you are in good shape physically.

DREAM CAR FROM SHOWROOM TO ROAD COURSE +
If you are looking for a two-seater, that has a ton of power and performs as it drives itself, without spending Porsche money? This is your car. When I am driving around I am always happily surprised to see another Z car. I get massive compliments everywhere! I changed out my emblems and some people think it's a Porsche. Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers are everywhere, nothing special, I like being different. There is the road noise but my passengers don't complain as much as I do. I could fix it but that would add weight and I do race 12+ times every year. Plenty of upgrades available but most speed upgrades are more costly than Chevy, Ford. I am 6'4" and the seat goes plenty far enough back. It does sit low to the ground so getting out takes a bit more effort. All in all, I adore my Z don't think I will ever part with her. I have put new race tires on after burning up the factory ones, Full (loud) exhaust, Oil cooler, Cold air intake, Coil-over shocks and springs, and an engine tune. Next, I plan on installing a Nitrous 100 shot and racing Rotors/Brakes combo.

My Fairlady Nismo!
I've owned this beautiful sports coupe for just over 2 years now and even though I only drive it a couple hundred miles or less on the weekends it stills puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. It still attracts quite a bit of attention and many people can't believe it's a Nissan 370z (this being the Nismo model). I have not had any major issues with the car. As part of maintenance, I've changed the oil every 4500 miles (full synthetic). I also replaced the air filter, cleaned the throttle bodies and Mass Air Flow sensor as well as replaced the battery all about 9 months ago. I'm no mechanic by any stretch of the word, but enjoy working on the car when the time permits it (thank god for YouTube DYI videos.. lol). It is a sports car and I plan on enjoying it for years to come so the little bit of timely maintenance now will go a long way towards trouble free driving in the future.

God this car makes me feel GREAT! And she is SEXY!
The #1 thing everyone needs to know is I drove over 3 hours for my Nismo, why? Because of 1 of Courtesy's straight up and I would say good Ol "Ol School" Sales Guy! Let me tell you what a breath of freash air dealing with this guy! Get with Bob Mitchell in Moline Illinois, (courtesycarcity.com) Bob, thank you for taking your time from your family for me, if your thinking about a 370Z.....well.....when I got home from buying this car I was so pumped! Damn and I thought I would only love a BMW, but after having a 3 hour taste of a different girl (my new Z) the trip home from Illinois was priceless! If I had a dollar for every look I got last night I think I would never have to work again! Yeah no joke, the HP with the handling and the looks of the Nismo everything comes together once you hit the road! 5 stars for the car! 5 stars for Bob at the dealer. If you think you can't fit getting a new ride into your work day call Bobby he will make it happen, he drove over 2 hours to get me my new Z! Go Bobby go Bobby! Here is the way to live life forks......"Let your spirit of adventure triumph over your good sense" Later! I got to go for a spin!

Nothing but problems with this vehicle. Experience with this vehicle is resale value sucks!!! I, had nothing good to say about this vehicle. Problems with the transmission. Problems with other things. (Way to expensive for repairs) Over priced vehicle that has no back seat. Bad gas mileage. Under steering problems.. Absolutely walk away from these vehicles

Lust at First Site
I had been shopping pre-owned roadsters for months and finally decided the 370Z was my car! I have only had the car for 2 weeks, but I am ready for a cross-country trip. I had read that the Zs were a rough ride.....not yet! Read they were noisy...but not! The ride is smooth and exhilarating! I invent reasons to drive! Just want to take it somewhere that I can punch it without seeing flashing red lights behind me. It is early in this love affair but so far so glad I said "I Do" to this 2017 307Z. P. S. Never too old to enjoy a great ride. Turned 70 -this year!
