nissan 370z reviews

vo2max99 · 10-15-2012, 02:39 AM

If you want a driver's car, there are much better options than a 370Z.

The thing than many folks seem not to grasp is that test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to evaluating how good to drive a sports car is.

You don't even need to spend over 30K to get a better driver's car than the Z.

1.) MX-5 Miata NC2 (2009 and up) is Worlds better to drive than a 370z.
2.) BRZ / FR-S also Worlds better to drive than a 370z.

You don't have to take my word for it just read the reviews and take a test drive yourself. Don't waste your money on a car that is simply faster out of ignorance.

Many people do this and regret it. If they don't opening regret it they get highly defensive about the subject trying to defend their large purchase. Nobody likes to admit they blew a bunch a money a on crappy car.

You'd have to spend up to ~ 55K on a new Porsche Boxster / Cayman to get a car nearly as fun / rewarding to drive as the new MX-5, BRZ / FR-S.

Oh and BTW, the 370z is no Porsche Cayman, not even close. The 09' Cayman S for one blows the doors off the 370z and more importantly there's absolutely no comparison as to which is more fun / rewarding to drive. But you don't have to get a Cayman S as the base 265hp Cayman is just as well Worlds better to drive than a 370z.

Anyways, I have no doubt you'd love the cars I suggested unless perhaps you were born with an inadequate genitalia and feel you need to prove something. Get what makes "you" happy not what you think will somehow impress others of low intellect.

Where is this coming from?

The guy asked about the 370Z on a 370Z forum from 370Z owners -- not a recommendation on a range of other cars from a random overly defensive guy

did i miss something...did the OP not ask just about the Z and not what YOU think is a better drivers car? EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your last 25 posts and concluded you are a troll, off to the iggy bin you go

Miata? really? I guess I never thought that people actually wanted that car.

BRZ/FR-S. Very nice looking cars. Too bad they have prius tires on them stock, and at 200hp feel underpowered.

I think you're saying its not just power, its about the ride too... I agree. I'd throw the new 2013 Honda Accord v-6 into that mix too. Good power and fast pace, not winning any championships, but great ride for the buck.

Those cars above kick the *** out of a Lambo or Ferrari too. Those suckers just aren't comfortable.

I have had massive loads of fun in my 370z in my two years of ownership. Have pushed this car on the road and at the track, and it's immensely fun. I don't understand how folks can have a bad experience with the car. I mean, it happens enough. There are plenty of people who dog it or who get buyer's remorse, or who have genuine issues (lemons). I just don't know how it gets to that point. Everyone has their own experiences. I could have bought a Miata, and I know how fun they are. My dad owned one. But I wanted something more powerful. The FT86 twins are also cool cars, but still not really fast enough for my liking. The Cayman is just ridiculously expensive, especially maintenance after warranty. But to each their own.

I've enjoyed every day of ownership with this car. Guess I'm just the outlier?

Pappy1 · 10-15-2012, 02:07 PM

Mine is a daily driver....Only issue I have is I will pack on the miles....75 miles round trip a day...I am not worried too much about it...It's a Nissan and they build a great car...also I have a 100,000 5 yr bumper to bumper warranty...so i will drive mine for a while with no worries

Jump in that sucker and drive

Have u even owned a z to know??

and i'll agree, it's no cayman... but its also almost HALF the price of a cayman s AND still has 30 more hp... can it outhandle one? nah. but its not mid engine either. apples to oranges. miatas are supposed to be fun but u are required to turn in your man card upon purchase. brz's are another car i would like to know if u have ever actually sat behind the wheel of... doubtful as well.

if u were the all knowing car guru u make yourself out to be, then why are u rocking an ms3?? i never really hate on the forum, but seeing as u been drinking the hateraid i will give it right back to ya. and considering 80% of your forum posts have been about how great the brz is, maybe u should go over to the brz forum and join. i'm sure they have a great fan base. idc if people have differing views, but keeping an account open on the 370z forum just to tell people how much better other cars are is kinda childish...

PS, go buy a golf gti... it's a better "drivers car"

Love my Z, everything wrong with it is fixable with readily available aftermarket stuff! If you're a do-it-yourselfer, about $1.3k will change the car from a track gimp to a track champ.

$600 Oil Cooler
$300 Sway Bars
$300 Brake Pads
$100 Brake Fluid

OP is looking for his man card, that's why he's asking about the Z. Miata - great car but lacks testosterone. BRZ - great car but lacks drivers with a clear complexion and will attract under-aged dates. Caymen, great car but you will be putting it through its paces on your way to wine country. Z car is perfect for the rest of us who are good looking, well hung and have hot women in the passenger seat.
