2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition Review

[@Erick-gx8qu]

that moment when you come and look for a good review but all you find is Nissan haters...

[@tylersmith5335]

For good reason too. They aren't doing jack. They keep milking out more juice out of the 370z when there's nothing left of it

[@soiceyboy33]

Nissan just knows how to drive a platform into the ground. Between this, the Frontier and the GT-R, Nissan must have the oldest cars in the industry.

[@swanblake]

soiceyboy33 so true!

[@nicodecamp9533]

and they still manage to perform better than almost all of its direct competition. weird how that works. Not sure why sticking with a design that works flawlessly is such a bad thing. But on a different note, you might be happy to hear that either 2019 or 2020 they have a new model Z coming out.

[@friskmall6327]

I guess you would rather buy a corvette then a few years later your outdated.

[@_baller]

Atleast they changed engines.. sti still on same one

[@jeremydavis2595]

Also the most trouble free, owner serviceable, not in the shop every other week vehicles.

[@mrsantosjon]

But I love my z. No fancy touchscreen or those yatty yatty. Picked it over a Stang because everyone drives a Stang lol. There's not a day I get bored sitting in my Z

[@daddyz8226]

ItAintGaY that's the same reason why I bought my 370 everybody owns a Mustang I'll see 20 of them in the run of the day and I might see one Z in the run of the month

[@chrisauriazul2203]

Also some guys are dads and want that extra seat in the back, or simply want that extra space in case they need to carry 3 friends. Cramped but doable .. (short distances of course)

[@Acc0rd79]

As a previous owner of a 370z car, I can say they are very nice, however it's long since time to let the 370z go and replace it with something all new. I see people in the Z group all the time saying they are going to get a new one and I tell them all wait, save their money, and wait a year or so till a new body comes out and have a monster down payment instead. Great car, but it's time to move on.

[@fread51]

You all are getting left behind

[@HermanWillems]

I know why... The 350z has a V6 3.5 Liter engine, The 370z has a V6 3.7 Liter Engine. If they wanna sell such car in Europe they gotta downsize and put a Turbo on it. But then the names changes back to the 200+z versions which is weird. CO2 has a big impact the last 10 years in Europe. Taxes have risen to extreme heights that a 370z will cost you like 90.000 Euro. Just because it emits too much CO2. This happens all around the world except for USA. That's why Americans cannot sell cars around the world. The carmakers don't get motivated to produce better engines. And this is why Tesla is EXTREMELY popular in Europe... even more than in the USA where owning a V6 or V8 is doable for normal income people.

[@nessuno5403]

@Herman Willems - you generalize too much, without knowing much facts. The world is not only USA and Europe. Many new cars end up with downsized engines without changing their names. Tax regimes differ within Europe. Etc etc...

[@nathansager8378]

Acc0rd79 n

[@frankieramos8017]

Acc0rd79 yeah time to move on with gtr's as well all look the same

[@josueochoa9267]

Eh I love my 2013 fairlady! Got the sport package and I added an alpine touchscreen. And the visibility isn’t too bad ! I can see pretty well. Turn your damn head if you’re backing up.

[@raululises2677]

Josue Ochoa my 13 z came with a back up camera in the mirror lol it's pretty neat since I have really dark windows

[@manowar5516]

No one can wear out a chassis quite like Nissan.

[@La-yt1wr]

Man O War True

[@swanblake]

Man O War bahaha exactly! Well said!

[@NEONPARADlSE]

Man O War. Volvo tries to.

[@fread51]

Add Dodge/Fiat they are using an old E-Class chassis on the charger and hellcats

[@La-yt1wr]

billy heaton I'm a fiat Chrysler guy I love their cars but it's about to time to redesign their vehicles all dodge vehicles the Chrysler 300 Jeep Grand Cherokee and wrangler

[@Joeteck]

I see why there are more thumbs down vs up. Great non bias review.

[@conceptcs]

No BS tech needed for the pure enthusiasts.

[@zachg9065]

Come on Nissan, we need a new Z and GT-R. No one cares about stripes on a base car.

[@MarksTournaments]

The Enthusiast I like that stripe

[@nukexD]

I have the 13' Nismo 370z and for the price of 30k with only 5000 miles on it, I couldn't ask for more! I love my Nismo...with that being said the regular 370z IS getting pretty old. I understand why people hate the 370z. For 45k new for a Nismo or 30k for a "heritage" package (basically a base model with stripes) you can get so many better cars. Hopefully the new Z comes out soon so everybody can stop complaining but for the time being i'm loving my Nismo! Also, just bought an ebay axle back for the Nismo and damn does she sound good! for only $200 it really wakes the Z up, stock Nismo H-pipe and a simple axle back and it sounds like how the 370z should sound like from the factory!

[@raululises2677]

I picked up my 2013 370z sport with 20k miles for 21k and I bought the nismo h pipe on Craigslist for 200 bucks on Craigslist and an axle back exhaust for 300 and you're right sounds like a beast

[@dacal9084]

This is almost perfect! Base = lighter. The only thing missing is a backup camera! That's all I need for DD!

[@raululises2677]

Dac al you can get one added at the dealer for a couple hundred bucks, and the monitor is in the mirror it's really neat, on top of that you can open your garage with buttons on the new mirror

[@Anthonyjt12]

It's a shame the Z cars don't have as loyal a following as the 911. No they are not competetors but they have the same history. The Z has remained realistically affordable. With that being said I think most have missed the point of this model. It is a light weight nanny free drivers car. Porsche just came out with the Carrera T. If you look up the video I think they copied off of the Heritage edition. The purpose of this vehicle is to get to the purist element of the vehicle. It will be a collectors item. Grab one if you can. I think the Z has been slowly refined to the point that Nissan is reaching the limits of the chassis in terms of engineering. This as allowed them to produce a beautifully refined platfrom that does what it does well. See it for what it is. I drive a 2006 Grand Touring. Love it when I can get it away from my wife.

[@cadsux]

You're review is spot-on, especially about visibility being worse than the Camaro, and highway interior noise. In the rear view mirror, you can only see the other car's hood, grille/headlights! I owned a 2103 370z Touring with the Sport package, and that was harsh at times. I replaced it with a 2015 Mustang GT, and it's a world of difference. Sometimes I miss my Fairlady, since it was just about as fast as the Mustang, but more nimble and easier to maneuver. Of course, not when backing up!

[@07wrxtr1]

How is the dealership/maint experience? 2014 370z owner. I'd be all over a GT if and only if they would give me: GT350 brakes/suspension/handling for UNDER $40k plus a 7 year no questions asked/no "debates" with the service advisor crapola (and if they do debate with me, I should have clear written permission in the sales contract to taze them over and over!).

[@cadsux]

Are you referring to the 2013 370z or the 2015 Mustang? Regardless, I don't take my cars to the dealership for regular maintenance. If I wanted more pleasant service advisors I'd buy into a luxury brand like Infiniti or Lincoln. Generally, the luxury brands fare better with JD Powers surveys because they factor in the "Dealership/Service" experience.

[@daddyz8226]

Everybody has their opinion of the 370Z but the one I have to disagree about that you mentioned in this video was having a conversation in the car while doing 70 miles an hour... I picked up a friend 40 miles away we took one of her bigger highways I drove anywhere is from 60 miles an hour to 90 miles an hour and not once did I have to yell at my passenger so he could hear me we had a normal conversation blasted the tunes on the stereo

[@StasComoestas]

Great review video, the color of this beautiful car remained me Porsche...Thank you for sharing👍👍👍

[@vietl30i]

This is a great non-biased review. Idk what's up with the thumbs.

[@woodheat49]

This guy doesn't know what a sports car should feel like. I have a 07 350Z and its a great sports car. I will one day buy a 370Z

[@K03sport]

another swing and a miss by an automaker and a heritage edition car...if Nissan wanted to make this car truly special, they could have thrown in bits from the sport pkg, e.g. LSD, and mild rear lip spoiler as well as some other do-dads to make the car more engaging and entertaining...The sports pkg is a must on something like this...as it stands, you HAVE to be a really BIG Nissan fan to buy this as its value will plummet faster than you can say Tochigi, Tochigi, Japan. Nissan has so much potential at their fingertips; however, they seem to be set in their ways and almost refuse to be innovative or original, although I do love their synchro rev-match feature...I realize the GT-R is the R&D benefactor, but not everyone has $100K to drop on a sports coupe/GT-car and everyone is lapping up CUVs of all flavors...if THEY would build an engaging sports car at the right price point, people will buy it as the car will sell itself

[@cadsux]

Yep. Nissan gave the Juke more love & attention with the Nismo, Nismo RS and the crazy Juke R.

[@manuelnavarro7539]

Driving grandma, that's all I saw in this review. It's a sports car, please review it like one. That's a disgrace to the true NISSAN Z enthusiasts....

[@gawrguraenthusiast5675]

Manuel Navarro RIGHTTTTTT

[@azwill7615]

if we can change the 2nd color and accent that would make the car freaken awesome

[@nessuno5403]

There is a black version

[@nicklee2481]

Is 2018 and they still don’t have a touchscreen on a base model TF is this🤦‍♂️

[@tylersmith5335]

Ikr, almost all 2018 BASE model cars have touchscreens and not this one. No wonder nobody speaks about Nissan anymore. What a joke lmao

[@onyej8941]

Nobody cares about touchscreens...

[@gawrguraenthusiast5675]

Playguy Carter righttt or idk maybe ion want a touchscreen on it

[@izzyiz810]

The WHOLE PREMISE OF WHAT THE CAR IS WAS SASHED OUT IN THIS REVIEW. He should stick to reviewing accords and Hyundai's!!! The Z may be old but NOTHING out there drives like it. It has the most feedback without driving an Alfa Romeo 4c. It accelerates as fast as Camaro 5 SS and gets around some tracks as fast as the last few Porsche Cayman S. A sport pkg gets you better performance and appearance for about $3,000 and it has very solid cornering for its weight. The Toyobaru Twins looked outdated 3 years after production, yet, nobody seems to focus on it as much as with Nissan. I'm still trying to figure out why the corporate reviews are so bad and the street reviews all agree that nothing drives like a Z? I think if I was worried about tech? I'd keep my fuckin Ass out of a sports car and look at a Camry. N no.... Camaro Mustang are NOT sports cars. Muscle falls under performance. It's time stupid reviewers get it right. Get a new job. Loser.

[@HermanWillems]

unknown But the Porsche Cayman cost 70.000 euro base price. And the Nissan 370z cost 100.000 euro. That's a big difference....

[@TheBoomkrach]

Even the Nismo 370Z does not even cost 50k, what are you smoking? The GTR starts @100k.

[@raululises2677]

Import from the US, I got my 370z sport for 21k USD

[@afrosheenix]

Nissan should be ashamed. If you want to make a heritage car, put the ttv6 the Q50 red Sport gets under the hood, charge a few extra grand, and make us proud.

[@HermanWillems]

afrosheenix lol.. then it will not be able to sell in Europe. The 370Z cost a 100.000 euro. A Porsche 718 Cayman cost 70.000 euro at this moment. But the Porsche is more expensive when coming from the factory. lol. :)

[@ProChoiceJesus]

I like the 350 more & the 300 (Z-32 model) even more, but my favorite is what I'm driving, my 1973 Datsun 240Z. Nothing Nissan could do would make me prefer a modern Z. Biggest complaint after driving is mentioned in this video...visibility stinks. My other huge complaint (with 350 and 370) is the headroom and cabin size. I'm not claustrophobic, but I nearly am sitting in a 370.

[@pontiacmaniac7772]

Someone who loves a specific car brand won't car about competitors. If you are crazy about Nissan a special edition Nissan car would be chosen instead of a competitor. Only someone who loves the brand as a whole would get a special edition car.

[@iKaBanana]

you drove through my neighborhood :D

[@totoyu12345]

The GTR R35 and 370z is still great cars but they have to release new one R36 and 390z. They have runovered by another new vehicle :( Also they must show up S16 silvia which is light weight sports coupe.

[@ASMRPAPADZ360]

I really like this car so much

[@izzyiz810]

"My wife thinks....". I lost all respect for this review right there. Biatch!!!!

[@KJVirander]

Bumblebee?! IS THAT YOU?!?😂

[@pontiacmaniac7772]

I don't get why they would make a special edition of a car and not improve it performance wise. Just like the new BRZ STI, it has no boost in power. It's the same car pretty much.

[@Unicorn1231997]

They should make white with the stripe with a red interior

[@theEraser14]

When is the release date ?

[@DjStiv3]

People need to stop bitching. Ford mustang- 3rd gen lasted 14 years technically? 4th lasted full 10 years? 5th lasted 9 years. Nissan only fucked up not giving it a bit larger revision than just new wheels and a facelift.

[@WaleedZanbagi]

True old school car

[@carshow2102]

This is a great car but I am excited for the 2019 model!

[@BlackCrypToN21]

Anyone know if they are going to get rid of it or build a new one from the ground up for 2019?

[@nessuno5403]

Nothing firm, but 2019 will be 50 years since the original one. Maybe once the new Supra arrives, Nissan will wake up too...

[@nessuno5403]

If this October there won't be a new generation prototype Z at the Tokyo Motorshow, you can forget about it in the immediate future. I agree with Never Mind's comment too. The only way for a new-age Z to emerge is if Nissan goes into bed with another manufacture, just as Toyota is doing with BMW (Supra and Z5) and Toyota again has done with Subaru (86 and BRZ and FIAT 124). SUVs bring more money, so enthusiasts miss out on affordable sports cars. Alfa too delayed a new age GTV/Brera for these reasons. Maybe the Nissan/Mitsubishi alliance will one day give birth to a new Z and 3000GT...

[@figarofigaritz889]

This guy has said he prefers Camero features at least twice, fun & smart to test drive if shopping then, plus another similarly priced car; a VW GTI maybe... , gotta try out 3cars minimum before committing to a multi year relation ship w brand new car. Especially if you think you like cars & driving, &consider costs... Hey wouldn't a JEEP Wrangler be in this price segment too, desicions, desicions.

[@surpluscollector1654]

beautiful car

[@richardlinville292]

It looks pretty nice but right now you can get a roomier Mustang GT Premium for a few hundred more...with a 5 liter V8....

[@sharpespeed4636]

But you could also get a roomier Dodge Charger for a few hundred more. What's your point? No one buys sports cars to haul passengers around and the Mustang also handles like a sedan with that extra weight unless you get a track ready version which is close to 50k. And at the same time, with current automotive trends, big V8's doesn't mean much at all anymore with making power unless you're just a fan of the sound really.

[@ndk2k4]

Cant wait to see the new Z revealed this fall. This dude clearly doesnt like Nissan, he has no idea who this car is made for...

[@ralphsmallblock4367]

They should only keep the nismo models as it’s the top 370z. The rest just cheapens it at this point

[@josemontano7767]

Nissan should put a single turbo and call it 370 ZX

[@c05l24]

Nice car....I think the black and silver would look better though.

[@gorviv529]

christ, it took this guy 2 minutes in to acknowledge that the car is about driving, not useless tech. it's like he was forced to say anything good about it. and why does the design need changing? it's a beautiful shape. change for change sake isn't a great executive decision. it's just window dressing.

[@KatoJac]

You will not sell cars if you keep the exact same design for 8+ years. This is 2017 not the 1970's.

[@Yssz96]

Alex Jacobson what about the nismo It looks different in the front and modern

[@MarksTournaments]

TTCommanderTT Sa its 3 years since the nismo relift

[@friskmall6327]

If all the 370's had twin turbos nobody would be complaining, trust me.

[@potatosalad9519]

your exactly right

[@koukimonzta]

Guzzler !!!!

[@xUdieToox]

The black stripe is a toupee 😂😂😂

[@Rizzy_K]

A 2018 car with a basic head unit? Wtf?

[@Windrammer]

hussein335 Real enthusiasts don't like to be cucked by technology

[@TheRyan097]

Nissan needs to work on the front man it’s just plan as fk

[@ryangreycliff2313]

even worse visibility? my 370z roadster

[@tonyroberts6500]

Had a Porsche 944 S2 rather the 370z all round , far more fun and grunt with better road feel.

[@andrewstevens7205]

what a geek..hey mister! nice car duurrrrp

[@cooldood84]

Get the Nismo

[@DjdMenis]

Noisy

[@punsx3024]

Damn sad they added ugly ass stripes

[@supercooled]

Keep milking it, Nissan/Renault.

[@loktom4068]

Come on NISSAN!!!!! Wake up !!!!! Like HONDA you slept in too long (20 years over slept). The Koreans starts from trash to stellar and you still waiting for them to surpass you by 1000 miles? There's so many little things can make this charming little beast lot better. Add on cheap stuffs like rear camera from your very bean counters from your other lowly ma pa models is so easy for manufacture to do. Add more cc to the engine or direct injections or high performance crankshaft or lighter cam lifters. Reduce some weight off the old chassis would help too. Your cookie cutter should been already paid OFF after those 20 years. So get up add some spices to it and don't be so CHEAP. You are hurting your own BRAND FGS. Not to mention change the CEO might help this Z car's future too .

[@friskmall6327]

Half of you guys don't even own a z so shut up. I'd hate to buy a car and a few years later they change the style. Guess what, you're outdated just that quick. I have a twin turbo z and it is rare and gets a lot of looks, guess why? Because they haven't built a turbo z after that. Go buy a corvette if you want a new body style every year. Ahahahha

[@swanblake]

wow did they make this ugly with this "special" edition. Nissan has fallen so far in the product area. I uessthey are really just counting on the Rougue to carry the company. Very sad for a company that once had the slogan "Shift". Now it's "CVT"

[@TJC450]

I dare say it but a challenger sxt is roughly the same price and I like it more.

[@Windrammer]

TJC450 you must like to go slow

[@geraldbennett7035]

the car looks bloated. Yuk.

[@twiztidsidfreak13]

You can get better in a stock Mustang!

[@mavricxx]

Nissan is going to have a slow death like Suzuki and Mitsubishi. It's a shame really because they have the right line up with a great heritage but refuse to do anything about it and that's going to keep hurting them until they realize they can no longer compete in the American market just like Mitsubishi and Suzuki did.

[@nessuno5403]

You talk crap. Nissan-Renault is now one of the largest automotive groups in the world. The world is not just made up by the USA.

[@sharpespeed4636]

You seem to think the US is the only country in the world.

[@atlshoota]

Doubt it the rouge is the best selling suv in America

[@xavierlevi1328]

Nissan is king of japan.. even over toyota.

[@weirdshibainu]

just a terrible car.. way overdue for a complete overhaul...

[@josefgriveas7113]

Nissan just sucks
