For The 370Z offers sharp styling, muscular performance and entertaining handling at an affordable price.
Against Some rivals are more practical and more refined, and the 370Z's running costs are high
What Car? says
This brawny V6 coupe is fun to drive and full of character. It’s also competitively priced and well equipped. Running costs will be high, it’s noisy, and although it feels well built, it lacks the quality of some German rivals.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Buying a 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.
