Two more reviews; one old, one new

martums · 12-30-2009, 09:03 PM

The St. Petersburg Times has a review of the Z Coupe which is only a few days old, The Daily Drivers: 2009 Nissan 370Z Touring is a sweet ride - St. Petersburg Times. It's not exactly a ground-breaking, earth-shattering review. Nice how they close with "civil enough to be a daily driver." On behalf of the DD crowd which yours truly intends to join, amen.

...And an older review from April has some interesting insight, from a perspective in contrast to the usual MotorTrend/Car & Driver/Road & Track/Edmunds (whining), etc. http://www.motherproof.com/car-reviews/new/2009-nissan-370z-sport

I think the latter is pretty interesting, considering the perspectives. Any feedback?

Fair and even handed, Thought.

Not bad.

I thought the reviews were pretty fair. As far as the lack of storage space, I have found that the hatchback and additional storage can accomodate enough baggage for a week long trip for two. I consider myself a moderate to heavy traveler considering that I had camera gear (SLR plus 3 lenses), my PS3, and a laptop, as well as Christmas presents in the Z.

Yeah, the hatch is fine for a weekend getaway. It's just not practical for carrying anything moderately bulky. For instance, I took the Z to Target months ago to buy a new vacuum cleaner... it barely fit.

However you can fit more stuff than in the 350.
