Everyday Driver 370Z review

Everyday Driver

370z vs 350z vs 300zx by them as well

worth watching as well

Very nice review. I agree with them 100% on the handling. The car handles so beautifully, it's near dam addicting! ALL aluminum suspension parts with perfect balance and engineering, I constantly find myself downshifting and accelerating though any twisties I find in my everyday driving.

Great find

Best bang for the buck! Period. Por$che? Nope! Give me my Z!

In my snow belt state it's just sad watching sports cars trying to make their way through the snow running ugly skinny snow tires and still slipping around all covered in salt.

Get a winter beater.

bought my 2012 370z as my daily driver. Put about 120 Miles per day on the ride. Bought it to drive it cause I hate trailer queens....so far, really like how the car handles, the performance, and the quality that I paid for. Much better than my Pontiac.... Just trying to figure out what to do for the Winter Months.....All season on some cheap rims?

Snow tires for the win. There are video's of 370's with them and making their way through snow just fine. Do not waste your time, or your cars survival and your safety with all seasons. Get actual snow tires or dont drive it. Hit Tire Rack and others for options. Especially since its a daily driver.

Uh, I love my Z but if someone offered me a GT2 for my Z I'd trade in a heartbeat. What can I say? I'm an unbiased car guy.

I just got my 370 used. The dealer has it as a "Certified" used car and did an oil change.. Great EXCEPT they used reg oil not synthetic..... after running a long trip at higher speeds i got the dieseling sound... checked and found a response that the oil viscosity break down caused the tensioner to slip... Well dont know about that but replaced the oil with synthetic and noise went away... So low octane from the quick gas may have an effect but it only stopped for me with the changing of the oil.. as i used the same on the road gas 93/94 for my last trip and NO NOISE... Love this car.....

The ticking is taken care of by a good synthetic or esther oil.
