Although most modern automobile aficionados largely overlook the Nissan 370Z Coupe, this rear-drive car nevertheless provides some thrills. Likewise, even if it can’t match the performance of its competitors on and off track, it can be a good bargain when compared to more expensive sport cars. However, this vehicle does have a few shortcomings such as a worn-out style that is particularly noticeable in its interior. Nevertheless its outstanding features are too good to miss.

About Nissan
Global Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is based in Nishi-ku, Yokohama. The companies that distribute the brand’s vehicles include Nissan, Infiniti, and Datsun.

Engine and performance
A 332-hp naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V-6 engine in every Nissan 370Z Coupe connects to a six-speed manual transmission as standard or a seven-speed automatic transmission as an option to drive the rear wheels. At higher revs, the engine generates athletic noises and reacts promptly to throttle adjustments. Also, Nismo’s racing-inspired variant has unique wheels and suspension.
The rapid power delivery is a great throwback with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard and a 7-speed automatic as an option, but a raspy engine noise marginally detracts from the experience.

Interiors
Although the retro driving experience is fun, the Nissan 370Z Coupe sacrifices a lot in terms of comfort and quality, from its dated materials to its small cargo area.
Thankfully, the 370Z only features front seats, continuing Nissan’s tradition of producing comfy front seats. Four-way synthetic leather seats with a power recline and power forward button tucked between the right thigh and center console are part of the 50th Anniversary package. Old-fashioned roller controls to raise and lower the seat or adjust the thigh cushion are located on the exterior of the seat bottom. Unfortunately, the Z’s load capacity of 6.9 cubic feet is limited, making it unlikely to be a good everyday driver.

Technology
Unbelievably, the standard 370Z is equipped with a simple AM/FM radio with a red-on-black dot-matrix display. Furthermore, a CD player, USB port, and auxiliary input connection are all included as standard equipment. A 7.0-inch touchscreen is available, but getting one necessitates upgrading to the almost fully equipped Sport Touring variant. It goes without saying that the options list does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto functionality.

Safety
The Nissan 370Z Coupe lacks the majority of modern safety features that are now standard on new automobiles, including sports cars. The 370Z does at least have a standard rearview camera to help maneuver its big behind into confined spots, but there are no blind-spot monitors, collision alerts, automatic emergency braking, or adaptive cruise control options.

Trim Levels
The base, Sport, Sport Touring, and Nismo trim versions of the Nissan 370Z Coupe are all offered.
The base versions get 18-inch wheels, HID headlights with LED daytime running lights, leather seats, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a rearview camera nestled into the corner.
Sport variants are perhaps the greatest value in the fleet because they come with 19-inch wheels, a limited slip differential, heated seats, Bose audio for the AM/FM radio with a CD player, active noise cancellation, and sound enhancement. The 370Z Sport Touring is only offered with an automatic transmission.
The Nismo variant adds sporty body cladding, suspension, exhaust, a power bump to 350 hp, as well as a distinctive faux-suede and leather-lined interior with Recaro seats.

Conclusion
This car has been around for a very long time, but it’s clear that’s only because the Nissan 370Z Coupe is still a great car and can outperform the majority of its rivals. And at a starting price of $31,040, this stylish sedan isn’t a bad ride for a sports car enthusiast!
