I just had my first test drive in a 370Z

wilsonp · 09-08-2012, 05:45 PM

I would say definitely a Cayman S over the 370Z (possibly my next car). Top Gear liked the BMW over the 370Z but I would only get it if you wanted a hard top convertible (interesting to me, but I'm not that into front engine cars). My personal issue with both is no local dealers (45 minutes away) and I was tired of taking the NSX to the Acura dealer.

I think I'd also miss some of the 370Z technology in the other cars (I have Touring sport with 7AT).

If you get an older Cayman S PDK, try to get one with the paddles, the earlier/cheaper shift buttons not as nice.

Are you talking about this episode?

Arabian Drift | We Love Cars, Do You? - Top Gear - BMW Z4 vs. Nissan 370Z

If so, you might have drawn the wrong conclusion.
