It also gives you an illumination warning when a moving object is in your blind spot.

does it also drive itself?

Generally speaking, the model that you own!

I'd get 2013+

Refreshed, quieter, comes with an OK oil cooler and back up camera.

+ new bumper and more wheel gap

Rode in an 09TouringZ recently with less than 10k miles on the odometer and was pleasantly surprised that my 13 sport z, had a more composed and quieter ride. Personally I like the 13+ bumper better, but that's an individual preference.

Lighter weight vs features. A personal preference.

Lol

Personal preference. To me it is. Road noise was one of the main reasons I sold my 09 Sport. It started to get annoyed when I daily drove 30 miles each way, everyday.

You could tell me to look at the G37. I did own one before the Z. They feel and drive very different.

The 2015's have a-lot faster gears for both models, & the NISMO's finally receive the auto in the U.S, smoother spoiler, faster gears, stripped steering wheel, day-lights, & colored stitching. Definitely the 2015's, by a-long shot! Its suspension has already been revised multiple times for track use.

I think it is a pretty sad statement that these are the things that have been changed. Seriously...what is the real difference between an 09 and 15?

OP, I think all the years are solid cars. I will continue to encourage people to buy used and mod it until it fits you like a glove. That's one of the great things about Zs. Just find a model that has what you -must- have and mod in to the rest like suspension.

And for the record...the 40th is by far the best 370Z by a-long shot.

Get which ever one is comfortably within your budget and a good fit for you.

Then if you find things you want to change - mod it.

Imo the differences among the model years are minor.
