What the story says about the base stereo is spot on. Time has left Nissan way behind here. Even the top end Navi system is slow and lacks features of some of the newest cars out there.

Besides the stereo, I don't fine the interior dated though.

The 370Z torque is not linear...not noticable below 4,000 rpm in my experience. Would be a plus if Nissan increase the Z's low end torque and improved the manual transmission.

If you don't notice torque in any vehicle, the car is turned off. Turn the key and push the pedal down.
