They make some really good points. Despite being 10 years old, the Z's performance is still relevant at its price point. It still feels special to drive if you come from most commuter cars. It is, from age, hideously outdated for infotainment.

ChopsZ · 12-16-2018, 07:47 PM

True, but as far as the infotainment stuff... It's a sports car. One shouldn't even be concerned about that darn thing. I for one chose the base model to get away from all of that extra crud. The 370Z is the last of modern cars that's more old school than anything else. Hell, it still uses a classic hydraulic steering rack, not that electronic numb stuff.

I don't care what others say, and the new horsepower wars that's going on these days. I absolutely love my Z for its basic, bare bones design. And above all else, it still looks damn good with all of those sexy smooth curves.

That was the first honest review of the Nismo. In most other video reviews, you can tell that the reviewer's mind is made up even before he drives the car based on its age, not having 400+ horsepower, dated Nav screen, etc., etc. But, this review surprised me. These guys understood what the car was about and what makes it unique when compared to what’s available today. This car is more fun to drive.

sigh... any info about that clubsports23 Nismo edition at the 2018 Sema show, with the infiniti twin turbo engine. I am purposely not buying a 2018/2019 Nismo because I would rather wait for that monster.

Lol i had the choice of black or white 19.... being one of 3 19' nismos in ontario as of august i was like black.

Love the clean reflection. Hate how hard it is to keep clean

I actually love the nismo more than my old modded and tuned sports touring and the only thing i did on my nismo is switch the gtr start button and hebi bebi shitter

You installed a shitter in your Nismo? You must take a lot of very long trips.

Tick64 · 12-17-2018, 02:51 PM

Sounds like a quality shitter. Is it black to match the car's exterior?

mishuko · 12-18-2018, 01:32 PM

Er... shift knob lol

They've been putting out consistently enjoyable reviews. They won't adhere to what everyone else is saying but you can tell they just have honest personal opinions with reasoning behind them, even if they nitpick here and there.

Like, they enjoy the BRZ at the same time. That's becoming a rare opinion in the media. I mean I'd take a Z all day, but it seems everyone just trashes the 86 unless they're a diehard fangirl.

This would be a dream come true. What would be nice is if they specially tuned the exhaust. That's probably the most disappointing Z feature.
