Nissan 370Z - Any and all member experience welcome.

I did plan on trying one before I bought the Evo. Any owners / previous owners here?

Was all going well till the harnesses.

Heavy aren't they? I think for that price range I'd go for an E92 M3. On the plus side, the harnesses are worth a fair bit!

@Record Grey had one I'm sure

Yes. I LOVED it. It felt like a proper sports car.

Had lots of toys like rev matching, heated seats, sat nav etc etc and sounded epic when you started it from cold.

The only issue was it was quite wide and it was quite hard to judge gaps with it (cue jokes about being female). Reversing into narrow spaces was a pain.

Other than that it was just lovely. Test drive one and see what you think.

Mine looked this this and I think the newer ones look even better (this wasn't my car)

I had the 350Z and really enjoyed that so the 370 would be the same only better .

Would have one in a heartbeat over stuff like an M3 or Evo. Still pricey though aren't they? To buy and tax

Really nice motors. More of a GT cruiser than a sports car though weighting near 1600kg.

Yeah I recall seeing yours on here, actually. I've always really fancied one so will see what's local to test drive.

That is some serious weight. That's over 330kg more than my old Evo 8. But as you say, it's more of a GT. I've sat in a 350 and it was a nice place to be. Not really too fussed about peak performance this time round, if it was purely about that I would have kept the Evo

I had a black 350Z and then a few years later a dark grey 370Z. I loved both and don’t think there is a lot around that can beat them for style for the money, as JB21 has said though they are more cruisers than sports cars, more a poor-man’s Aston DBS than a poor-man’s 911. I’m not for one minute recommending not getting one because of this, but neither are cars I wanted to grab and hustle down a country road, like perhaps a smaller lighter Boxster/Cayman, or likewise do a track day in - more a car to go away for the weekend in.

I believe the Nismo is the one to go for. Underneath it’s pretty different from the base car (suspension, chassis etc).

Seats are also much nicer...

I still think they look really nice and a massive improvement over the 350Z.
2 seats is just not me though, but other than that they look great.

They're still circa 20K+ . A lot more choice in that price bracket, but agree the Nismo is the one if you're all eyes on these.
