finally a review that doesn't immediately complain about how old the car is !!! Getting these second hand for cheap makes these cars a gem

[TearingRaven]

It's amazing that the direction sports cars have gone is so bad in the last 10 years that Nissan's utter neglect of this car has actually worked out to it's advantage.

[G.G.]

I own this exact car, same color and it puts a huge smile on my face every single time i get behind the wheel. Nothing else matters.

[scott]

Everyone: I wish they still made a quick sports car with a manual, rear wheel drive and not too much tech.
Nissan: 370Z
Everyone: Eww its tech is too old
Nissan: SMH

[caglioso]

Old af but still a great car. I mean how many rwd manual n/a v6’s exist anymore? Truly a dying breed.

[EddieGarciaVQ]

I daily drive my Nismo. I could careless what anyone says. It's breaks necks everywhere I go and it's super fun to drive. All the hate is coming from guys who don't even own a car or have never even driven a Z. The Car is perfect.

[ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

I might be biased as a Z owner but I still think these are some of the best looking cars stock, and they also look great with minimal mods. It's just slightly disappointing to see minimal refreshes over the years. However, it is also kinda nice because for the most part there are around 12 yrs worth of parts and knowledge to help you build your Z.

[ThatOnePercenter]

This is one of the last purest naturally aspirated V6 old school good vehicle. Nice job nissan.

[GixxerRider]

Your point about grip is spot on. The longer I've owned my Z, the more I've come to just trust it around tight bends. Even with the TC off it stays planted very well. The fact that you can just as easily power slide around corners makes it that much more versatile of a machine.

The reverse camera in the mirror is because the “cheap” versions don’t get a touch screen they get those old orange displays.

[wrxtr]

still love my 370z - it's like a breath of fresh air on the road among the vast sea of SUV's...

[germaineliew]

I rather have a totally muted exhaust than artificially pumped in audio.

[xFlared]

I have a q40 (2015). Can confirm the bose is incredible. Hydraulic power steering and loud engine just livens up every drive. There's this strange combination of luxury and mechanical rawness. Car is an absolute dream.

[randybobandy]

I bought a 2016 new off the lot with a manual and learned to drive a stick with it. It was not easy. I love the car but it is a challenge to drive smoothly without abusing the clutch but is so satisfying. It's like the last bastion of RWD MT out there and is absolutely a driver's car.

[benhaze]

The Nissan V6 has one of the best V6 engine sound with a good exhaust (especially the 3.5L) so this piping in sound is a crime IMO... Good thing it can be disabled! Great review.

[joanortagus]

I have the 2016 Nismo with a stick shift. 5th Z I've owned and this car is crazy fast and a beautiful car.

[FeVarGaming]

I just bought one of these Friday and I’ll be picking it up tomorrow! This video just made my excitement level go through the roof, that final audio test had me vibing so hard! Excellent video!

[akumabear]

classic old but gold car... the way everything feels old in this car makes me like it even more. With some performance mods this car is pure fire.

[dejayte]

Man, I'll still drive the hell out this car!

[MrMittenshasatophat]

Had an 09 370z with the upgraded brakes and 305 tires in the rear and 270s in the front. What a car, I had a B&M short shifter in it as well. It was an absolute blast to drive and it had a lot of power. I love the interior on the thing, but it wasn't the perfect car for me. I ended up switching to a C6 corvette and won't look back. But I will tell you, the 370z is a great car and if people get over the "I need a plasma TV infront of me" syndrome, they will really appreciate this car for what it is.
