You get them cheap second hand for a reason. Save your money tbh

Those reviews are true. The car is over a decade old. It’s a nice car, but it’s well over do for a redesign.

lol if they stopped making this car, people be like Bring it back amg old cars were the best!

@@neilthomsen1810 lol dude what? This thing is in desperate need of power and new styling.

5K.RIDO you can get them cheap second hand because they’re old. And so what? They’re not unreliable, and getting one for under $20k is quite a deal imo. More HP than the 86 cars or the Miata and roughly in the same price bracket.

Disagree, Nissan is in the dumpster right now and the 370Z needs a refresh

@@MacroEnabled disagree , modern cars and their stupid safety nannies , like blind spot monitoring , automated braking , auto parking , wait until all those stupid things go bad , they'll cost a shit ton to repair

400z is coming soon

@@93mlo no need to repair, just trade it in for a new one.

@@Hboogie182 trade it in , is why people in this country are broke living paycheck to paycheck , and bitching they can't afford a house or condos. The stupid keeping up with the Jones mentality will keep citizens in this country broke

I'm planning to get one, how difficult is the clutch?

@@manveerghuman5276 2018 and newer have an improved Exedy clutch which is much smoother and easier. If you get a pre 2018, you can easily change the clutch spring for very cheap which improves the feel quite a bit.

@@G.G.001 thank you, I have lots of other questions. I already read about the exedy clutch but didn't know the spring change makes a difference! It's still going to be my first manual car.

@@G.G.001 btw I can't understate how beautiful this car is in real life, so much longer and almost looks like a supercar

@@manveerghuman5276 I've owned many different sports cars and never got so many thumbs up as with this Nismo. It truly is a beautiful car.

Scott W. Even if they put the BRZ infotainment in here it’d be fine, it needs apple CarPlay, and android auto and no one will complain anymore.

It's more of a price issue in my opinion

@@KayvonGz you don't use those stuff if u r really a purist looking for a basic sports car

Nissan only sold 3k of these last year, no one is buying sports cars anymore

Kuma Bear my point exactly, that is a niche market and the exact reason why it doesn’t sell.

Not old......classic! Do we change the Big Mac? The double double?

old af? its a 2020

the gencoupes

stackholm he’s saying old because nothing much changed since 2009

All I can say is, if you saved up and got yourself a car like this or heck, any car you love, then props to you! And the car enthusiasts like you and I are happier that the spirit is there and manuals survive. There's no haters here.....one love.

Preach it!

how is reliabilty on it? Im considering to daily a Z too

@@BruhMoment-bp2wj Very reliable. Mines had zero problems from the get.

No car is perfect except perhaps the new GT3

​@@fzr1000981u ever owned a gt3 or a 370z?

Yeah nice job Nissan for making it sound like shit!

It's basically a 17 year old chassis and engine.

Are you serious home boy

The neglect sure came to it advantage. Nissan had no intention doing a good job

@@kylechellino2579 A lot of people love the sounds of them, I quite like it as well tbh

First thing ima do when i get this car is get rid of that 😂

Yezzir, yezzir. If I wanted fake exhaust sounds, I whip out muh crappy Xbox with Forza

it can be disabled at a dealership but my goodness it sounds like shit

370Z is luckily being retired this year and an all new model will replace it.

@@BoopSnoot idk we'll see if it's "luckily" or not

@@BoopSnoot "Luckily"? Are you a moron? Making this modern will absolutely destroy everything that makes it good.

Nothing 'cheap' with the way this looks! Keep it simple and pure.

Vipermoon imagine if the new replacement has a CVT transmission since Nissan puts it in almost all of their cars😂😂

Analog is totally passé. Until everything on the inside is made up of MicroLEDs, these cars are totally not worth buying. Hopefully, the whole company goes under.

It's really sad. If everything isn't a crisp screen to pacify them, they whine and complain.

The problem isn’t the tech, it’s the car itself. This car has been the same damn car for 11 years. Literally no innovation whatsoever.

@@gtmike916 That's part of what makes it so great. It's from a time when people actually where involved in driving. It still has a manual transmission, hydraulic steering assist, a naturally aspirated engine.... Hell, it even has a manual parking brake! A lot of these things don't even exist on certain cars anymore. Is this car old? Yes. Could it be made better? Maybe. Could it be ruined by "innovation" and modern trends? Very likely.

@@gtmike916 Cars where better to drive 11 years ago, so that's actually a positive. Seriously, it's not even like this car was once amazing. 11 years ago, there were better cars than this, but being a survivor from a generation past makes it more of a driver's car than 99% of cars currently for sale.

It’s a good chassis, decent power, great seats, and not an ugly car. But with cars in that 45k(ish) price bracket you’re getting way more up to date infotainment, turbos, magnetic ride suspension, and other creature comforts. Great car, I had a 370Z years ago. It just hasn’t kept up with the times unfortunately. Hopefully the next gen really steps it up.

@@Nelbone i dont want turbos :(

@@Nelbone Supposed creature comforts are a good reason to not buy newer cars, especially if you actually enjoy driving.

@@xb0xisbetter (He seems to have chosen a golf over a GT car to be fair...)

How is it?

Sounds like screaming souls from hell.

Why lmao

The Volume of it ramps up above 5k rpm and it becomes an ear splitting honky drone..so bad you wont wanna even go near redline till you disable it

The best V6 sounds are these: VW R35 370z and 350z 90's Honda NSX 2019 Ford GT Lotus Exige

I would also add the Jaguar F-Type to your list.

@@alextint5987 g35 and g37 tooooooo

Agree! Also the J32 V6 from Honda

@@DannyPhantomNYC g35/37 share the same engine with the z. Also the vq sounds like a wet trumpet.

Yes, a dying breed unfortunately.

Because it has manual transmission LOL

All cars have ctv transmissions nowadays, do some research

And its almost an unbreakable trans, it can handle around 1000whp and torque.

@@hernanreyes2781 Nope, how about you do some research lmao.

Last of the "analogue" cars. It's nice how much Nissan retained that raw 300zx feeling, however traction and VSC is very nice to have.

Yessssss

It sounds so stupid! It sounds like a cat moaning!

That’s what other drivers don’t like about noisy sports cars. It’s literally like smoking cigarettes- don’t impose your habit onto people around you: So they give you a mic’d version of your engine note instead of you imposing your boom onto everyone else.

@@nextleveljourney6612 ok karen

@@nextleveljourney6612 Lol, stop being silly with this Karen mindset, that doesn't make any sense. Go live in the boonies if a simple car can bother you that much. You'll hardly bother someone with a proper exhaust on any sports car, let alone if it's stock.

QuackGarage - calm down Quack (why choose that name if you’re serious about cars, btw ?) I’m not mad about car sounds. I like Car sounds and I have a Mazda 5 speed 🕹 I was just speculating why Carmakers are Mic’ing the sound into the BJ for their Buyers.

05:22 more obvious haha

😂😂😂true

Yeah idk why nissan didn't update the interior at least if not the engine.

Honestly Im already kinda missing this style of pod gauges from the 2000's, gives it that fast and furious/need for speed look. While every new car has a tablet stuck on the dash and shit

mrnicktoyou bruh facts

Lmao coming from someone that doesn't even own one or even driven. Shut up dude you're a follower putting a comment that you've seen from somewhere else. I'm sure your minivan makes better exhaust sound

CoupeLifeVQ I have a 6.0 LS V8 with 3 inch exhaust. It makes a better sound than almost anything and doesn’t need fake sound through the speakers.

@@mrnicktoyou that's the point of it. The exhaust is dead silent for men who don't want obnoxious sound all day. I remember when I was 20 loud cars were cool. Preference I guess but the sound is not terrible especially coming from a guy that hears it everyday

I dont mind it

I dpmt understand why people are calling it old and outdated. How is this nisno on the snow does it ride pretty smooth through snow or does rwd rear wheel drive get caught or stuck in snow

@@leonelbarra-alvarez8424 The reason I say it's outdated is mainly the interior with the infotainment system. It was an okay system back in 2009 when it first came out but the fact that you get 2009 tech in a 2020 car was its downfall imo. I think the main argument for the car being old is that the engine and transmission is something out of 2009 where newer cars tend to use direct injection and some sort of forced induction. Don't get me wrong, I love the VQ in this car, but some people may see it as a negative. However, the new Nissan Z does seem like it will solve those issues. I am very excited about the new Z. In terms of snow performance, I barely have any experience but rwd would be more difficult to drive for the average person because oversteer is generally more difficult to control than understeer. I'm sure that with proper snow tires and a competent driver, they won't have issues but for the everyday driver, it may be more difficult.

Strictly Come Driving yea there's no point in buying a brand new one you might as well get a older model it's cheaper and is pretty much the same

The 400z was in the new Nissan commercial. Its coming.

@@NotAdamSnider when those drop hopefully so do the prices on 350z and 370z ill def be picking one up

This will still look nicer though

i love 370z

@@poordriverreview8333 i think it's saving nissan. It's a really good naturally aspirated V6 vehicle. I prefer the normal 370Z with nismo seats.

Bunch of picky soy beans around. It's the last of a dying breed, and so are enthusiasts apparently. Sad tbh

One word: Jealousy.

The whole interior is at least from 2009

The way the infotainment screen is set is distinctively 2007-2008 g35/g37

The interior would look dated for a 2010 car tbh.

was thinking the same thing and even the exterior of the car looks dated. they really need to relaunch the Z

@@thekornrole They are...

The driving experience is very... meh. Think 350z but the steering is somehow even more rubbery, the vq37 is ok but doesnt have the same character its predecessor did. Its a 6 tenths car. Comparable to the genesis coupe. Great on paper, disappointing in practice. The miata is the way, especially after its latest refresh.

I've driven one and they are just as fun as you expect.The inside is a little smaller then you'd expect but power is their it is indeed a fun car and sounds Incredible in person under Throttle..deff drive one. Amazing seating position aswell and makes a lot of torque for what it is..Could use another 15hp for the top end power but low end and mid-range is strong..and that 15hp can easily be achieved buy one of the many tunes they make for these cars ..I drove the automatic tho so I can't speak on the manual .I'm sure it's just as fun if not more shifting the gears yourself and the instant throttle response even tho people say these are actually faster in the auto

Nutz kun I don’t know what “rubbery” means. I have a 2017 nismo and the steering is tight. I’ve had the car for 3 years and still get excited in anticipation when I’m about to drive it (It’s not a daily driver).

Major Mayhem we must have driven very different cars, in my experience both the 350z and the 370 suffer from lifeless steering. Its tight but artificially so, it doesnt communicate the road nearly as well as its competitors. But again, it isnt meant to. Its for all intents and purposes a japanese mustang, not a worthy rival of the miata or a 86. Too heavy. Understeers like a pig and that cheap feeling interior translates in to the entire driving experience, everything about it feels halfway complete (once again, a 6 tenths car) Its a real shame too because nissan used to be really good about making playful chassis’. These days they develop a decent engine and cobble the rest of the car together with scraps. For what its worth though i love the vq35 to death (not so much the 37 for reasons i cant quantify, namely sound) I daily drove an altima with one for years and it refused to die. Sold it with 280k miles on the clock. Then again, it was designed in a much better time for nissan... even then though the build quality was miserable, and its only become worse with time.

@@VolvosandHondas I agree with you on the quality part but disagree with you on comparing a powerful z to a Miata or a86 lol I know your not comparing a HR or G37 or 370z car ..a first Gen auto DE yes I totally agree

milked would be understatement tbh

Yep. They do that a lot. They did it with their trucks.

More like forgot they had it and dropped a new trim lvl to get people happy.

you'd hate it because rev match on upshift introduces huge rev hang.
