What does it cost?
For This is the best 370Z to drive, with a less punishing ride and tighter body control than other versions. It’s also seriously quick and loaded with standard equipment.
Against There’s far too much road noise, especially when it’s wet, and the engine sounds thrashy at high revs. It’s expensive for a 370Z and the boot is shallow.
What Car? says
If you buy into the 370Z’s character, you’ll revel in its simple charms. Rivals such as the Porsche Cayman are far better to drive and more desirable, though.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Buying a Nissan 370Z won’t give you headaches, because there are so few decisions to make.
For starters, there’s only one engine: a 3.7-litre V6 with 326bhp. That means performance is blistering, but it’ll also mean hefty bills for fuel, insurance and - if you drive it like it should be driven - tyres.
There’s a choice of transmission, though. You get a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but you can pay extra for a seven-speed automatic ’box. We’d save the cash and stick with the more involving manual.
The last remaining choice is the trim. Whichever version you go for, you’ll get plenty of kit. Even the entry-level car comes with alloy wheels, powered seats, climate control, keyless engine starting, automatic xenon headlamps, Bluetooth and a socket for an MP3 player. Step up to a GT model and you get heated leather and suede seats, a CD changer and cruise control.

Our pick of the range
Nissan 370Z Coupe 3.7 V6 2dr
The more expensive versions of the 370Z add plenty to the cost, but nothing to the joy of driving it, so this is our favourite model. It's huge fun, but compromised.
