Default Thoughts After Test Drive

Ok so I finally got to test drive the 6MT 370 touring/sport today, and here are some of my thoughts of the Z in comparison to my G37.

First and foremost, the Z is not only smaller, but the headroom seems to be much less than in the G. I am 6'3" and I felt just a bit cramped in the Z, at least until I declined the seat to the maximum position. Not a big deal, but does anyone else have a similar issue, or does it just take a bit of adjustment?

Second, Nissan did a great job upgrading the interior from the 350, and I would say the interior is on par with the 37. I love the gauge and dial colors on both cars. The colors in the Z are more menacing, whereas, the indigo/ purple in the G seems more relaxing. However, I wish there was a sunroof... Not a big deal again, but just my 2 cents.

Third, the exhaust on the Z seems even meaner than on the G! I can only imagine that it will open up even more, since this Z only had ~1600 miles on it. So beautiful... music to my ears.

Fourth, the actual test drive ... HOLY S**T!! I was initially worried about the cars having virtually the same engine hp/tq output, but they seem totally different! I never thought that my G would feel like a luxury cruiser! The Z made my G feel like a Lexus. The synchrorev is unreal, and I have never driven a car that feels quite like this. The "pull" is definitely much more pronounced in this car, and you get a nice push back into your seat.

The suspension is much tighter on the Z, even with the sports package on my 37 and I love the sound inside the cabin. It definitely gives you the feeling of a true sports car. In my G, I feel low-key driving, with the occasional rush of adrenaline. However, I think the Z makes you want to burn the road at every moment !! (within reason of course)

In conclusion, I could have written much more in depth, but I am positive that you have already read tons of these reviews before. I look forward to getting my finances in order and joining your community soon. My G35 and G37 have both been silver with black interior, so I would like a different setup. I love the Persimmon interior, so I will couple that with either Pearl White or Magnetic Black. Thanks for reading!!
