      Thanks for reviewing a cool nissan. I have a 2005 Altima SE-R. I don't know if Canada got the SE-R, but it's a sporty version that was only sold for 2 years. Stiffer suspension, bigger wheels, different spoiler, sporty exhaust, bolstered seats, the Z guages, HIDs, etc. Gotta love that VQ35! Love what you guys do!

    Having watched so many reviews on the 370z, I took the plunge and bought a 2017 GT manual a month ago.Quoted as 328hp 0 - 60 in 5.3 seconds Restricted to 155mph. Cost £23500. 6600 miles on the clock. I can’t fault it at all. Do I care that I’d be 2 seconds behind a car that costs 3 or 4 Xs the price...no. Will I ever achieve 155mph....not ever in the UK. I think it’s stunning and I haven’t stopped smiling. At 57yrs old,thought it was time for some fun and the wife agrees.

    I've said it in comment sections before and I'll say it again: 370Z catches a lot of flak on the internet (for what that's worth) over being old or heavy or not that good. But once it is gone everyone will miss it and suddenly realize it wasn't that bad at all.

    I have this car as a daily driver and drive 100 miles per day. It rocks. I couldn't give a rats ass if someone thinks it looks dated inside. If you think that, then good for you, stick with what you like. I bought it because wanted a fast two seater. I combat drive interstate 5 daily and needed a car that can out brake and maneuver all the reckless drivers out there. It does the job very well and is highly reliable. 78K on it already and not one single issue. It pulls like a raped ape once all the tire spin stops and the steering is almost surgical. Its an absolute blast to drive.

      I think people just complain too much. I am currently driving a 2006 Mazda3 5 speed sedan that I bought new. I like to keep my cars for at least ten years if things work out for me. I would rather buy the same 2006 model Mazda3 that I am driving today, if I could get it brand new, than the current new models of the Mazda3. I feel that way about the Z, I had a 2003 350z but it was auto, needed the room of the Mazda3 that I replaced it with in 2006. I am not inclined to buy the new 400z with turbos as much as I am to buy the current model with the naturally aspirated motor! In a manual only!!

Plus, Zs in general are few and far between, so to the casual observer, they probably aren't aware it's been around for 10 years, virtually unchanged.

    I actually own a 2019 Nismo, black, 6MT, it is definitely an amazing machine. True some may say it needs more hp but it’s about handling not straight line speed. Sure a mustang camaro goes faster but everybody and their grandma drives one. Not many Nismo’s on the road, I will sit at restaurants & people take pictures of my car; and constantly get compliments at gas stations. It’s an easy clutch to drive; if you jerky driving one of these, you don’t know how to drive a stick. Plus I do a lot of city driving with cops around; so not many opportunities to punch it. Sometimes I think it’s too much power/speed for city driving. But it does love highway driving and twisty roads.

    best z review i've seen, alot of ppl including reviewers just can't seem to get this car, the performance, engine, driving feel, heritage, etc. You really have to drive one to understand it, the Z is seriously shockingly amazing, especially what Nismo did, this thing is a beast on track and through tight twisty turns, theres a reason owners love this car to death.
    People bash it for being old, honestly if theres nothing wrong with it and it still holds up I don't see why you want it changed just for the sake of being new. Even when the next gen Z comes out with turbos and electric assist, I'd appreciate this legendary engine for its unique characteristics, this engine can pull so hard it makes you feel so fast its crazy. To all those interior comments, honestly once you get in its not bad at all, I actually like the interior and the driver focused nature of the layouts, its certainly not fancy but doesn't need to be, this car is about the drive and you'll forget about everything else since you'll be so focused, this interior speaks racecar simple and i like it that way.
    the aftermarket exhaust to free up the engine is a must, throw in an intake and exhaust combo and you'll get extra 20+ hp and takes this car to another level.

    Just so you know guys, I stumbled onto your channel recently (through the AMG e63s wagon bids 💕💕💕) and I'm having a blast catching up on all these cars that I've thought were cool for so long. 3 years after this vid, and I had never considered a Nismo Z but dang is your enthusiasm contagious! That exchange about how these are the future of drift cars makes me so happy too!

    I had a 2016 370z base model and upgraded couple months ago to the 2019 370z Nismo edition exactly as the one in the video but in pearl white. To all the critics whom have never driven one of these cars please dont comment when you have no clue as to what this car can do . For the price its ridiculously awesome pure head turner super fast and beautiful inside and out. million times better then the base model and def worth the 15K extra for the nismo. I had both so I know first hand how much better this one really is . Everyone says its outdated blah blah but you have never actually been behind the wheel to really see for yourself how amazing this car really is. I love it and also test drove the Mustang 5.0 (2018) and Camaro SS and the nismo is way more fun and looks much much better. These guys actually nailed every pro and con and for once a proper car review from guys that actually know what they are talkin about. Keep up the great work !!!
    The only critique I have of this car is that I wish it did have a bit more horsepower since its the Nismo edition. I woulda liked for it have like 375hp and 300 torque im sure Nissan coulda easily mustered that but it is what it is.

      I also own a 2017 pearl white nismo ,base and touring sport are just not the same ,bought it new with 1 mile on it, with just a few basic upgrades intakes, exhaust and a tune , I'm at 322 to the wheel which equates to about 380 crank , and does make a big difference ,but first and foremost get a 34row oil cooler , these cars do run hot but the cooler takes good care of that , I also test drove.Camaro and mustang ,several times and kept going back to the z was just so much funner to drive ,most have never driven one so they just talk out of their asses , most of them probably drive Honda civics

    Perfectly analog, a soon to be classic that will likely be a better drive than the next model. Been waiting for a recent test on a 370 Nismo - these things don't get the attention they deserve. These will still be in garages and on the road long after the next gen comes out with another ubiquitous turbo four and is recycled into Molson cans...

So many newer cars have power that is too much for the chassis. Love the steering. Most newer sports cars have terrible electric steering. This and the S2000 are two of my favorite affordable sports cars.

    You should do a Straight Tech video on how you get the paint to change color so perfectly in your videos!

    Just bought a 2012 G37, looks exactly like this inside but the ride and driving experience is soooo good, no one cares about the infotainment, it’s bose, it has an awesome sound, dont touch it unless you wanna increase the volume lool
    VQ for life!

      Why not a Q50 instead with the 3.7, the interior blows the G away and its much more modern car.

    Excellent review.A few years back i test drove a base 370Z manual.The only cars i could compare it too are my 2006 civic si coupe and my brothers 2014 scion frs auto.Ride quality was very stiff(even the frs with cusco braces front/rear rode softer),transmission was notchy,faster you shift it made it more so.V6 motor sounded great and had good power.Very well built and quality materials throughout.You could feel the extra mass of this car in corners and left to right.For the price i take it over a muscle car any day,quite a bargain in canada.....

    Most Nissan interiors are so wack. If you think the Z is bad, you should see my 2009 Frontier 🤣 That damn truck just keeps rolling though, so I cant dump it.

    I got a 2014 sport edition 370Z in July of 2017 with only 12700 miles on it and I only paid $24k for it, plus extended warranty (which I didn't really need) and taxes and dealer fees for a total of $29k. White with red calipers. I love it and it handles and accelerates so well. I'm going to update in the near future with AAM high flow cats and an AEM cold air intake.
