In a world of dying manual sports cars, I am so happy to see Nissan make this car.

[joespittle]

This is easily the best thing Nissan has produced in a long time.

Out of all the reviews, the Topher review is what matters

[julianmuniz]

I admire the fact that the interior gives the old school yet modernized vibe to it. I dig it.

I love all the automotive journalists on YouTube, but nothing quite puts you in the driver's seat like these POV reviews

2023 with a classic hand brake.. damn thats getting rare nowdays lol

[R_life]

I really like the body styling, it looks like a classic but so modern at the same time

Can't wait to see what the Tuner community does with this platform.

The incorporation of the cupholder on the door facing the vent was a genius move; never again will I have to sip on a warm pop on a summer's drive.

Very delighted that the marketing focus on ‘engagement’ and ‘drivers car’ was not pure bullshit. Looks like Z team really cared about making this a fun and meaningful street/sports car.

They did a great job on this design and performance set up on the new Nissan Z. Honestly I love this car, it is pure JDM performance at its finest even with the new technology integrated into it.

[dominickruiz]

Man I love how it sounds from the inside, that note is just perfect... Can't wait to test drive one, and then take it home!

I absolutely love the sound of the little whine in the background. Idk what it is but it sounds like a mini jet engine. This car is amazing

[UberManlyPirate]

This is an accurate and mon-biased review. Thanks a lot for the good content!

[SerPurple]

Really great style cues to the original Datsun Z's as well are previous Nissans. Seems like a very fun car!

There's a pretty audible sound from the turbos too, which is great! I can imagine the aftermarket for this car should be pretty wild.

[iwatchedthiswhiledoingapoo]

the POV video's hit differently, top notch.

[Linknelson]

What a road to test the new Z on man, great work

[jerryseigler]

Was looking forward to this review, was worth the wait. Thank you for your spot on reviews!

[BigBoyz]

Finally !!!! Ive been waiting for Topher to drop this. IMO he is a master at driving a car with a manual transmission

[DQRambo]

Nice review! As a 370z owner i appreciate how you compared it. I'm surprised how Nissan did this one good. I will consider this car for the future
