The Nissan 370z is an Amazing Sports Car Value

- The Nissan Z car has been a showcase of Japanese automotive engineering for over 50 years. Now that sports cars in general are falling out of favor, I think its time for a reminder as to why these cars deserve even more praise than they already receive.

This is the best review on the 370Z I've seen on CZcams so far. Great job. I agree with everything you've said. The Nissan 370Z is an amazing car for the price point. I got mine brand new in 2017. It's the top trim with Automatic transmission, leather seats, BOSE audio, navigation, and slip differential. I drove the hell out of that car. I intend to keep it as long as possible since new cars prices are insane.
Nice! Have you reached the 100k mark yet?
"between 2009 and now, especially under $100,000, I do not think a better looking car exists." Agreed! Additionally, regarding interior quality this young man has given a more common sense review than most seasoned professional automotive journalists.
nissan is so under rated The automaker is genuine-
I like how he said… this one “of course” is a six speed manual!! 🙌
A good video and a far fairer assessment than you usually see. I think many of the negative reviews about the entertainment system are due to the fact that Nissan never upgraded it during it's extended sale period. I have a 370z and with a few interior modifications I far prefer it to the vast majority of modern car interiors, the new Z included
Thanks man, yeah it would've been nice to see Nissan invest a little more into keeping the car up to date, but too many reviewers let that distract them from the actual driving experience, which is excellent
I’m impressed. I’m 52 and I bought a 2019 z a few years back and love it! This young man gets it. It’s not about infotainment or interior style lol. Though I also have no idea why interior gets so much criticism. It’s a sports car not a luxury car and I lovits unique cockpit like feel and layout.
It’s about awesome feel, no nanny, more than enough power, systems, 6MT…. Note that 5.2 is conservative. Motor trend got 4.8.
@datacipher and @donaldmosby glad to see Im not the only 50+ who currently owner a 370z
I have a 2017 370Z and it is bulletproof. I drive the hell out of it. Doesn't burn any oil at 75,000 miles.
You are a 100% about the driving experience. I have a lot of fun when I drive in my.❤
. I bought my four months ago 2019 And I love it. My only problem was that I wasn't driving manual for a long time. So I'm Burn down d clutch. Cost me a lot of money to fix. But I have a lot of fun when Drive in it❤
You just made me love this car even more. Excellent review! You showcased many of the loved and controversial elements, giving honest and decent takes. Great shots of the Z, both exterior and interior, and even a multi-angled joyride at the end. Thank you for that! Now I'm sold!
Btw, what year is it?
Amazing review, definitely changed my opinion!
Good vid, thanks 👍🏼
Awesome review! I really appreciate pro's as opposed to everyone else's cons. My 2020 370Z Sport Touring is a blast to drive. You are engaged and a part of the visceral experience, plus the looks speak for themselves. Ive driven Hemi's, Lobo's, LS's, and 4 bangers to hoot. Nissan VQ's are a totaly different animal altogether. And for the same platform used for over 20 years the reliability cannot be ignored...totally a win win IMHO. Great work!
I love my 2017 manual sport model. At the rate these things are getting wrecked, they will be worth money in 10-15 years.
Agreed!
Thx, for the good and entertaining review. I'll probably buy one in a couple of years myself 😅
man I love your videos. just such a genuine and straightforward approach, keep it up
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. I'll be working on the next one soon.
I'm 55 and always had a love for the Z since I first drove my neighbors 1970 fairlady z. So I purchased a 2009 370, still have it and runs great. Less than 47000 miles garage stored. Love my z ,thanks for the best z lovers video on you tube. You should start a Z club. There plenty of us in jersey.
Good video man
I love my 16 370z sport tech. I've already done quite a few modifications ;)
I have this same car
This man gets it
best review ever on my baby !
Its an excellent auto no doubt. Good review!
Really good presentation skills on this video. You're going to go far in life
Thanks man, I hope so 🤣
Great review, spot on and very refreshing to get a true and honest opinion. Most reviewers secretly work for manufacturers, if they do a good job selling a car the manufacturer will give them access to more cars, so they are incentivized to benefit each other, and they will not speak the truth about the 370z because they want you to go buy the next new thing.. Keep it real man
What year is yours? Great review. You actually made me want to go buy one. I loved the 350z, but it was so expensive back in those days. Now I make enough cash and wanted a reliable, fast sports car. 1st car I ever drove was an 85 Iroc-Z with a modified 350 engine. Now I'm trying to buy my 1st sports car.
Great story, thanks for sharing. This one is a 2013
When you decided to be on youtube and video that day i must say great choice in shorts......
Thanks
I test drove a rental 370z with the auto for 4 days in all kinds of driving..it was a 2019...I have to agree about the interior being a Great place to sit in and the quality is excellent of all materials..everything is Ultra driver oriented...it Does Not deserve the flack it gets..2 points about these that are possible deal breakers for me: the lack of visibility to the point of it making me uneasy at times in traffic and parking situations... That and the initially incredible nice feeling, highly adjustable seats started to feel uncomfortable
no matter how I tried adjusting them...Fine for short jaunts but they rally start to get to me after 2 or more hrs in seat..lower back pain,despite the lumbar adjust and the width of the bolsters feels like its too tight on my lats...and Im Not huge or overly built...
the driving position gets fatigueing and arms feel too outstretched to the wheel... anyway, nit picks, sure, the car is insane but if you spend alot of time in it, in the long term this may be offputting...I had an old supra, an 82 ages ago that had recaro like seats and those destroyed my low back so bad that I couldnt enjoy the car and ultimately had to let it go.... The Z is a car I Want to like,
incredibly beautiful to look at in and out, lots of power and torque like u said... This is a car that u Will turn around to look back at as u walk away!.. But u gotta be comfortable In it and u will want to feel Safe as far as visibility... for me, just not sure about those 2 points..
What year is that one? Looks good!
As a Canadian
the 2018 Manual Sport 370z represents some of the best value for dollar you can find for a sports car.
In Canada the base model 370z got a 10,000 price drop from 2015 to 2016, but in 2018 the model trims were reworked to separate the Sport from the Touring packages.
So you can grab a 2018 sport manual with no silly touch screens for a bargain.
I have a 2019 all-black 370Z 6MT sport coupe that I bought new. The mods I've done are:
Hotchkis anti-rool bars, stainless steel braided brake lines, a Stillen Gen 3 long tube CAI, a Fast Intentions x-pipe dual CBE and a dyno tune done on a Dynojet chassis dyno using EcuTek software.
We got a 15% uniform increase in torque across the whole rev range with a peak rwhp of 321 hp. This translates to a crankshaft peak hp of about 380. The engine is more responsive and sounds really good, with a slight burble on downshifts. The increased performance has made an already great car even more fun to drive. I am currently in the process of installing a set of all-black forged magnesium monoblock wheels from Litespeed Racing in LA.
Everything you've said about this car is exactly correct, most people just don't get what this car is all about.
You can replace the screen with a tesla style screen if you want to. NiftyCity have some options. I love my 370Z convertible, its just a fun car.
Great review of a beautifully designed car that unfortunately soon will be no more. This is one of the last true RWD sports cars especially considering it’s
n/a V6. I’ve always loved the look of the 370z , the styling still holds its own in 2024.
I’ve owned various cars after 2019 only to return to a mint shape low mileage 2015 Accord 6-6 Coupe and it’s definitely a refreshing daily driver. I feel the tech is just getting out of hand. Personally I am not buying a sports car for cool tech gadgets and more things to break & complicate things.
Great video , I am looking at
a 2016 that’s virtually brand new ( under 20k miles ) not my first pick in colour but it actually looks pretty damn good ( magma red) and not passion red and even though it’s a little costlier then other options around here. For the $ this car is completely worth it. I feel that the longer you hold on to this last of dying breed sports in good shape. These cars will only get more desirable.
I could have and should have bought a 280ZX w/ T roof that sat in neighbour’s garage for years.
Anyways appreciate the video and this summer I’ll almost 100 % be driving that beautiful 370z around.
Just can’t beat this car especially with low mileage for the money.
Love my 370z and I personally pay more attention to the road/traffic to care much about a touch screen radio. Give me dials to use please and thank you
I'm a huge Z-car guy. I've owned 4 of them, including a 370z. Even so, I think the 2014-2020 Jaguar F-Type was the best-looking car for under $100k. Your acceleration data on the 2009 Mustang GT is wrong. They did 0-60 in the low 5 second range, just like the 370z.
Dude nice car and good video but i cant imagine driving that road in the woods at night lmao scary
Haha yeah, I definitely would try and avoid that one at night!
Can you do another video on the prius - I had a 2004 similar to yours - I recently in march purchased a 2020 LE FWD with the lithium battery and its average combined MPG is 67-70 mpg combined driving in eco mode incld highway 65MPH in ct The 04 was about 45 MPG Its also much quieter/rides smoother THX IF YOU CAN
Sure. What exactly would you like me to cover in the vid
i guess the fact that i am amazed that 2020 prius le fwd lithium bat- not plug in averages 67-70 ECO mode mpg living in ct since march - with combined driving in the city reg speed limits and highway 65mpg,@@americanchallenger if gas is 3.60 gal it cost 4.09 cents to drive 25 miles in 22mpg car- In this model prius it cost 1.34 for same 25 miles of travel- Lot less haz mat dumped in2 r breathing air. i am not as kool in a prius - But im happy, I still like old fashioned jeeps- etcetera.. for nastolic purposes but my body likes clean air to live/feel good This 4th gen is quiet/smooth
And do the video the way you do vids from the head heart and gut authentic. What u think Not what i think
@@No2ndHandInfo if I can find a 4th gen to review, I will do it.
The clutch has a critical design issue on the Z. At some point it will fail. Look up csc issue.
Yep. Already had it upgraded. I should have mentioned that in the video.
Under $15,000 my ass, I live in Florida, only ones for less than $20,000 were auto or rebuilt title or they were messed up from someone modding it out and drifting it into a pole . I paid $26,000 for 2013 sport touring with 60,000 miles completely stock . Anything cheaper I found was trash . Could have maybe saved $2000-$3000 if I got one without gps but I wanted the GPS model .
Interesting! This has not been my experience at all! Can find these all day long in decent condition between 15-20k in NJ!
Depends on where you live. I found plenty of clean titles with less than 100k miles 370z around 15-20k in Missouri.
@@JiggyJiggy21 base models are that price , you didn't find a sport model
@@sirspeedsalot maybe you're right, but I only lightly searched. I can probably find a sport model ones if I look harder. But the point is, they are out there since too many people are buying SUVs nowadays.
@@JiggyJiggy21 sport model ones are going to all be another $20,000 unless it's rebuilt title or high mileage, I looked for over a year until I found my 370z , I even searched other states where it doesn't snow because I don't want a rusty car , but couldn't find a sport model for less than $20,000+
1997 trans am ws6, 4at , 1.6 roller rockers no cats, even up until 80, flys away after 80mph. They aren't fast once you get close to 100mph v8 torque, hp and aerodynamics just keeps.pulling! Suggestion a supercharger as torque drops low once you get to 6000rpms to redline 240tq vs over 300 on v8 trans am! Scratching my head why 370z weights as much as the v8 trans am? 3350lbs?... should only be around 3000 at most. It's a v6 and 2 seater vs trans am 4 seater v8
?!...
Well okey 2:48 and it's not 8 years ago review this type-r. Actualy based on your body I think you'd better get into brz. You are asked to make some sacrifices based on an amount you spend as msrp for that AIO pc hardware for ryzen products. Can't decide if it's really beautiful 9:14.
Theyre hard to find in manual, that’s the only downside and maybe the interior is heavily outdated too
It would have been great if you actually looked at the viewers while speaking instead of consistently off to the left and/or right. The information was great but your eye shuffling is distracting.
Sorry man I'll do better next time
oh my god an entitled american king baby in an old adult unweaned body , Say a prayer for him
@@americanchallengerreal driving enthusiasts don’t care lol. Nothing wrong with wanting to be a better CZcamsr but the content is what counts to actual enthusiasts. 😂. You’re articulate, speaking clearly, and seem personable - you’re doing fine.
@@datacipher appreciate the support!
I agree@@datacipher
