2012 and up sport+touring. The '12+ didn't have the dreaded steering lock and also came with a small factory oil cooler. The oil cooler is not good enough for tracking the car but for DD purposes should be fine.

There's nothing wrong with the manuals but you just have to know that you will be replacing the CSC at some point. There are a couple of great aftermarket options that are rock solid.
Zoren 370 and jpkirk like this.

July 2011 and forward production runs of 370Z did not have the steering lock

For the sake of clarity I just said 2012. I actually have a 2011 without one, just never knew when the change was made.
