:iagree:

price for performance, the z beats all those cars listed in my opinion. all i can agree with the article is that the interior seems a bit outdated. but the touring + nav options fill that void.

"outdated" interiors don't bother me. I've heard that said about the C6 Corvette and the FT86 twins, and I like the interiors of those and the Z. They are functional and not too badly laid out imo.

If I were to do it all once again, I will once again choose the 370z over the mustang, camaro, genesis or Challenger. There is simply nothing like it on the road. Plus there are a few of them on the streets unlike the camaros and mustangs out there. I love this car and I would NOT EVEN compare the Toyobaru twins to the Z in this category. These cars are like teenybooper cars which kids just out of high school get their hands on. Once you are out of college and start making money on our own, then you upgrade to the Z :)

Yep. If I want that, I drive my Altima-it has plenty of comfort goodies and decent MPG for the daily commute. When the weekend rolls around, my base Z meets my sports car needs just fine.

Well said. I Have been saying this for a long ttime. The z doesn't.compete with frs, Gen coupe, Stanford, camaro. No, it competes with 2 seat sports cars especially audit tt, bmwz4, Porsche Cayman. And the z is an outstanding value compared to those.

this article convinces me more that MotorTrend really is in Toya/Baru's pocket... i still dont understand why they would include a toyabaru in their "world's greatest drag race" besides marketing... and this article further shows to me that they're simply doing the same thing...

Different people have different needs, not to mention the Z isnt build specifically for tracking.

Can i live without the leather seats and other "luxury" options? Of course i can, but i wont mind them cause it is my daily driver and i wouldnt it being slightly more comfortable.

People also choose the Z over the g37 for a reason, simply put.. Its cause its a Z. The only thing i regret is not getting sports package, i got too impatient and went with the touring/base.

our cars are the best. it's true because I own one

I believe everything I read in car mags, so the 370z is the worst car ever produced.

I agree with the reviewer on pretty much everything

I have the exact model he tested, apart from it being a 2011.

Reviewers are supposed to be nit picky though that's their job.

Base Stereo does suck (who keeps stock though replacing mine)
Buttons that are blank (Nissan was lazy on this part)
Sound of the engine (well yes does suck really) Don't think many keep
stock though, intakes/exhaust make the car come alive and sound is beautiful

The BRZ is nice but its not intimidating and like others say, 200hp is not much. The mustang is decent but honestly the only mustang id have is the Rousch one (convertible) or the Leguna Seca. The stang is definitely a comfortable car but its a boat.

He mentioned the Genesis, well the look has already been dated imo and well its a Hyundai (lol).

Does that make the Z the best choice? Hell ya. A couple mods and you have a best looking, best sounding car.

:iagree: That's why I got my Nismo. I have a g35 coupe too. But do I miss all the luxury features on the g35? Not really... The only thing I like my g over z is the stock exhaust note. The reviewer got this one right - 370z should sound sportier.:shakes head:

Speaking of fun factor, why they don't compare 370z with my mountain bike? It's fun as hell... just lacking of horsepower compare to the z... but much much cheaper...:ugh2:

:iagree:

Nice numbers they got. Those 0-60 times are right on par with a SS and a 5.0. Oh and in the two years owning the car I have never inadvertently opened the console from a shift.

same here man, don't know how this "reviewer" was shifting, but i have never ever opened up the center console from shifting through the gears...you'd have to be shifting like a retard to even accomplish that...on second thought the reviewer fits that bill nicely

:rofl2:I must be a retard then, because I've done this a few times over the last couple months....and except for a one year blip of insanity where I owned an auto Acura TL I've been rowing my own exclusively for 20 years.

The button to open the center console is just where my elbow happens to come to a rest. I've modified my driving position a bit to accomodate it but I can't shorten or lengthen my arms.

All in all I think it was a relatively fair and positive review. I love my car and there are very few vehicles I would trade it for at the moment...but I wouldn't complain if Nissan lowered the price a bit due to it's lack of 'features'. ;)
