Product Overview

Nissan 370Z (chassis code Z34) is a compact sports car in production from 2009 to 2020. It was available with several tunes of Nissan's VQ37 naturally-aspirated V6 engine that displaced 3.7 liters.
Compared to the 350Z that preceded it, the 370Z is more an evolution rather than revolution. Notably, a new 7-speed auto gearbox supplanted the 5-speed unit, while an improvement 6-speed manual is standard.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 235L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Nissan 370Z comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. Combined with RWD, this setup provides one of the best handling characteristics and tuning capabilities.

Reviewer score 47% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carwow have found:
The Nissan 370Z is clearly an ageing car and that shows in the way it drives. While some more modern quick coupes seem to shrink around you when you drive them, the Nissan does the opposite. It always feels large, heavy and occasionally unwieldy. Even the entry-level model has 328hp and can get from 0-62mph in just 5.3 seconds, while the Nismo version is quicker still.
Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Good fuel economy
  • Decent handling
Cons
  • A bit unwieldy
  • Uncomfortable to drive

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from topgear have found:
The 370Z was launched almost 10 years ago and hasn't really had a major update since. For 2018 Nissan's changed the bumpers, light-clusters, wheels and given manual versions a ‘high performance’ clutch. The more powerful, more serious, more expensive Nismo is unchanged and still on sale.
Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Excellent infotainment system
Cons
  • No all-wheel drive
  • No rear seats
