The Nissan 370Z Nismo Is Outdated and Overpriced

CHECK OUT CARS & BIDS

The Nissan 370Z Nismo is an exciting sports car -- but it's too old, and it's overpriced. Today I'm reviewing the 370Z Nismo to show you what I mean, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the Nissan 370Z Nismo before driving the Nismo Z.

Always makes me laugh whenever he rents someone's car on Turo just to roast the fuck out of it.

[andyfffff]

Rent your car out to Doug and watch it depreciate

[Nismax]

Thank you Doug for talking shit about this car, now prices will drop and I will pick one up for the low

[belledelphinesbathwater]

I like how he’s roasting the car while his comment section is saying he dresses like it’s laundry day

[timhorton]

I always thought Doug looked good for 45. He’s 31.

Doug is the type of guy to break into your car just to read the owners manual.

Imagine being on Turo
"wow doug is renting my car how cool"
**checks youtube next day and sees "this red piece of crap car 370z is outdated and crappy!"
oh boy

I went on a date with Doug when I was younger and at the end of the night he gave me a dougscore.

3/10😭

me: wow finally, a nissan Z video


Doug: ~the 370z is outdated and overpriced~

[rockbandude]

Doug: man this V6 does not sound as good as a V8...

Everyone: Well ya cause it's not a V8

[basedury]

I remember how awesome these looked when they came out, and 10 years later, they still don't look terribly outdated compared to brand new cars. nissan did well and I'm not even a fanboy

Doug is the type of guy who would review the women he dates.

“Too many quirks; not enough features.”

[lotusamg]

People: complain about a sportscar being on sale for 10 years.
Manufacturer: we'll cancel sportscar and make SUV
People: *Surprised pikachu*

[nslouka]

What color are those pants?
Doug: Well, they're my favorite color, Traffic Emphasis.

Doug suffered from not having an owner available for this video. I am a huge Doug fan, watching all his videos. However, I had a Z back in 2010 (and it was fairly outdated then) and went down the rabbit hole for the few years I had it. I modified it to address some of the gripes he mentioned. However, there are some big misses here, that are just because he didn’t do enough research before creating this video. My main issues are as follows:

- The “effects” setting involves the animation and “gauge swing” when starting the car.
- The tire reminder is worthwhile, because I typically got 3-5K miles out of a rear set, before they started slipping in even mild rain and required replacement
- The “key slot” is not to store your key. The keyless entry is optional (or was at one time) so the slot is where you inserted the key to start it. Even if you had the option (I did, mine was a loaded sport touring), it was still valuable because the slot charged the key batteries
- the visor extender was still useful when facing forward as it can slide behind the rear view mirror.
- The blank switches on the center console are for the heated seats (ventilated as well on the convertible) and yes, convertible top. The Recaro seats in the NISMO aren’t available with heating, ergo they are blanked out. Most Zs do have the heated seats.
- The red light in the center of the diffuser is a rear fog light in international markets. I agree it looks much better installed and is available as a brake light aftermarket.
- There is a spare tire in the Z. The subwoofer is actually clever packaging and sits in the upside down spare. If Doug had dug a little deeper, removing the black styrofoam around the sub, he would’ve realized the sub was just sitting in the wheel and there is indeed a spare, hence the very shallow load floor.

Overall, I agree the Z is horribly outdated, but when I bought mine, it was much smaller and more nimble than a mustang, but with far more power than a Miata, S2000 or MR2. It bridged a gap between sport roadster and muscle car, that the other didn’t do, though perhaps it did neither well. Regardless, I enjoyed mine years ago, and it’s sad that it’s exactly the same today. I found it funny that mine was a 40th Anniversary Edition from 2010, and the 50th Anniversary Edition was still the same, virtually untouched model. 🤦🏻‍♂️
