As someone who owns a Supra, the Z is definitely a bit of a hard sell in the current market. I agree with Topher in that it should of been priced just a little bit less and it would be a SOLID buy for what you get. Excluding issues with dealerships, Nissan's production line and the MSRP, it's not a *bad* car by any means and if you're blessed enough to be able to afford cars in this price range, you're winning no matter what. I guarantee you Z owner's are smiling every time they get in their car to drive as are the Camaro owners, Super owners and anyone else in the price range. Enjoy it while we got it boys, they're phasing these cars out soon and in another 5-10 years we'll likely only see EV's for sale and in another 20-30 years we'll look back at cars like these as classics and legends of their time.

It’s a great street car. The only time I saw one though was at a C&C and it was one of the best looking cars there imo. But it’s still hilarious to me how everyone hyped this up to “show Toyota how it’s done” and it’s done nothing but fall short. Stop sales before production, paint issues etc. If the GR Supra launched in this state, we wouldn’t have heard the end of it. I wouldn’t mind a base model but I’ve seen them all marked up to 50k.

We couldnt avoid hearing about how bad the new "BMW Supra" was. Pretty much everyone who owned the 3.0 loved it, how bulletproof the engine is (people make 500whp stock on the factory powertrain), its fuel economy can be in the 30s during commuter conditions, ect. The only complaint I can find is visibility (you get that in many sporty hatchbacks) and lack of manual in the first launch. Yes, the new 5.0 is around the same price and arguably a better car, but I just love the design

I think the car is beautiful, but I agree with the general consensus that it’s a little overpriced. This would’ve slotted nicely for a buyer who wanted something a little more powerful, bigger then a BRZ/GR86 but not as expensive as a Supra, M2, Camaro Etc. It should’ve been a $43,000-45,000. Then if a Nismo version where to come out price that at $55,000-65,000

Seeing makes me believe a Q60 400RS with a manual would’ve been such an amazing car. Just like the G35/37 coupes used to be the siblings of the 350/370 and had such a huge following. Its really what kept infiniti relevant tbh. Having the ability to make the Q60 a proper enthusiast sports car and just tossing that opportunity out the window is sad. I miss the old G coupes. Perfect for those who wanted Z performance but just needed a little bit more practicality. I miss mine :(

A ton of parts my car has that this new Z has including brakes, upgraded OEM Suspension, etc… I love it and I daily it to work everyday. About to hit 93K miles and it’s Full Exhaust, Ecutek tuned making 322whp on mustang dyno. In a perfect world, I’d love to keep it. But it doesn’t make much sense for a 21 yr old who’s planning for a wedding to have a New Z and my current Q60 at my apartment lol

Too much money for those performance stats and needed upgrades for track duty. Based on all of the rave reviews and price, I decided on the 6M Camaro SS 1LE and couldn't be happier. The car is an animal and I love taking people for rides and letting others drive it to see their reactions.....priceless memories with a sports car bargain. Thanks for the honest reviews

You put it perfectly, the price and ADM on top of that, puts the Z in a terrible price point. For a bit more you get the Supra which is just an amazing car and now even in manual. On the other hand you have the brz which is THE driving enthusiasts car imo. I think it should have been 45k for premium, and depending on what Nismo brings 3-5 k more for that version.

The interior and exterior styling is on point. However, it really seems as though these cars have leaned more towards touring than sportiness over the past decade, and this new model really, really shows that. The 370z had brake cooling issues on the track in a variety of tests when it launched. I wonder how this one will do? Regardless, it seems like a lot of effort is needed to get this car to go around a track reasonably quick compared to its competition. Which is a real shame because if you want a sports coupe with a liftback, you don't have many options in today's world.

@@aliamezcua9585 Primarily comfort. This new Z is fantastic if all you're going to do is cruise around town and down the highway. The suspension design, despite having a front double wishbone, leans more towards comfort. Under heavy braking and cornering, the car has heavy body roll. The car being heavy means you'll really, really feel it. Overall, if you compare lap times for the new Z to the GR86, you'll find that it's not significantly faster around most circuits despite having nearly double the horsepower. The new Z is kind of a boat. It's a fantastic choice if you want an alternative to a Mustang, but it's not nearly as capable as the Supra for performance driving. This ultimately comes down to the fact that Toyota and BMW came together to create a very good car at a very good price, whereas Nissan is working entirely on its own for the new Z. Regardless, the new Z has a certain amount of character to it that the Supra lacks. I'd also argue that it has a bit more charm than a Mustang. If you scrunch numbers to find the most optimal way to spend a dollar, the new Z isn't it. But, if you want something that feels a bit more like an old car, the new Z is it.

It’s Jan 2024 and local dealers (Orange County, CA) getting delivery’s around the 29th - though only on avg 1 Performance and 2 Nismos each. Pathetic. At an average of $55K for the Performance, it’s about $5K more then I want to spend. I would like to see: flat bottom steering wheel, power folding mirrors, vented seats, option for no Bose subwoofer for hopefully more storage, and drop the price.

Done with the Z hype, difficult to find and dealership markup. Keeping my 370Z; owned for 9 years and not one maintenance or performance issue!

Honestly I was excited for this car but not so much anymore. And actually in general of Japanese offerings. I owned 180sx’s among others back in the day. Mabey I’m getting old now I don’t know (35) but I’m more interested and thinking I’m going to wait a year or two and spend my money on the new Ford Mustang dark horse. I think there is more for the money value there now.

It is nice but is this really worth that much more than a carefully modified low-kms 370z for about 1/3 of the price?

I find it dumb people want automatic sports cars manual is the way to go when driving a sports car. Going through the gears and having more control over the car is much better than just putting it in drive. If I get a sports car it will be stick shift no way in hell I am buying an automatic sports car . Good review of this manual Nissan Z.

As a massive Nissan fanboy, I stand firmly that the final product just wasn't the sum of its parts. - recycled FM platform for cost also means low innovation - the VR30DETT, while powerful, doesn't feel like it when compared to the old VQ-s - the blind spots are WORSE than the 370Z, which are known to be kinda bad - this could have been Nissan's answer to the SRT lineup, by perhaps offering a revamped VQ35 (which can handle boost as dailies) and then an upgraded VK56 (which is basically just Nissan's LS1 clone and just as hardy) - the sheer fact that the end buyer pays more to get less overall features when compared to the Supra - oh, and after all this damned time.....the VDC off (traction control) still doesn't disable the YAW sensor from factory (the old Genesis 3.8' could do it, the FRS and BRZ could do it....um...)

I absolutely LOVE Nissans but I have to agree with you. It just doesn't do justice for the Z badge. Seems cheaply made and overpriced and the engine on this one didn't sound healthy at all idling and this is supposedly a new one? It's pretty and yeah it'll get up and go but it just doesn't feel the same 🫤

Noob here when it comes to Z platform. Is there an aftermarket solution for the base model to get the LSD? That’s the sweet spot imo for this car price-wise.

Not really. It's better to get one off one of the higher trims but even that's expensive in itself.

Have you ever driven a g37s manual? And is there a difference between that and the 370z or is it basically the same? That gun metal gray makes that car look so elite. Easily the best color for it.
