2024 Nissan Z Nismo | First Drive

[@madrx2]

Thanks for the review. Straight to the point and less bs than some of the other uploads tonight.

[@ctk4949]

The front end looks 1000x better than the normal Z!!!! Hope they add it to the normal Z.

[@defauIt2]

i think this is an ugly car but performs well

[@MegaRetr]

Fantastic video Lyn!

[@vitaliy9932]

That red might even look better than Mazda's soul red crystal. Front end looks much better, the rectangular grille doesn't look good on the regular Z.

[@michaelmancini5773]

Drove the Z with performance trim package, then drove the Z Nizmo,,, Buy the Z Pt package with stick for $11K less , more fun, ya don’t need a track worthy car on a daily driver

[@stratonick]

Just bought the 2024 Performance Z in 6 speed - i have to agree. Better prices, ridiculous speed, and shockingly comfortable interior.

[@homerfeltheim12345]

The price will kill this thing. Between the Supra and hell a mustang dark horse there are much better options

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

As a 370Z owner, i like this Nismo Z over the regular Z but $65k .... NO

[@backnu]

The M2 is now an option after seeing this or a 2024 Mustang GT. No manual.

[@backnu]

You also said they want to keep costs down. You're paying for active exhaust, a modern chassis, and active dampers. They just didn't include any of that. BMW M2, here I come !

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

@@backnu This is one reason why the Transgender Supra didnt sell well because of auto only. Once again, auto only only on this car is a slap in the face by Nissan.

[@backnu]

I know that a lot of kids can't drive manuals, but this is an oversight on Nissans part. It shows how they pieced it together. The real reason is they have been using the same transmission for 20+ years. It can't handle the power for long, and Nissan shelved it for now. That should tell you how ancient this car really is. Marketing wants to spin this as a "track car". So why not use the DCT from the GTR? The buyer is paying for it. For close to 70k, buyers are being taken advantage of. The Nismo should not cost over 48k. 68K is a joke! But the Z-Cult will justify it. But part of what they are forgetting is, the group they are alienating is the ones that prefers the manual option. @@ACommenterOnKZbin

[@falcon64z8]

The Nismo edition front grill looks so much better than the stock one

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video Lyn!😸

[@denault3985]

Beautiful filming location, beautiful Z... I assume this video was filmed in the Sanoma/Russian River area?

[@kbb]

It was!

[@thuylinhpham9582]

GREAT!!nismo version in this car is back. but's front alike toyota gr 86.

[@SoCalFreelance]

Nobody complains about the GT-R not having a manual. Peak performance is what's desired.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

True that

[@Voorhies7147]

I have tried to buy a 2024 Nismo and unfortunately Nissan is selling their cars through chiselers. After being quoted $68,500.00 for the car by a Nissan dealers salesperson, I agreed to buy the car. Two hours later I get a communication from the chiseler/dealer saying there is $10k up charge being applied to the agreed upon price, bring to actual price to a rediculious $78,500. Shame on Nissan for allowing such dishonorable sales practices. I have owned a Datsun 240z and 260z and was really excited about the new Z, but now "to be honest" I could not be more disappointed by this business practice, allowed by Nissan, I am out.

[@tonybino01]

Fanboys who can't even afford this car are the ones complaining its not a stick.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Yep

[@rickdabrar]

Hi Lynn! Love your videos but what is your daily driver?

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

She does not reply ...

[@eddiestopaynik1249]

Great Review by the Correspondent - Well Done!

[@MrMegatron85]

Honestly, just get the regular performance trim with a manual, and buy that Nismo grill piece and call it a day

[@josealfredogarcia1894]

I love 👍🎉🎉

[@capsule2326]

Nice Another great looking car I'll never have...

[@muskistutter]

Nissan still using the old Gentex rearview mirror in this age? Yikes.

[@Lord_Pilaf]

They need to make a manual version

[@kingscuderia]

It seems the Z Nismo would make someone considering a Lotus Emira also consider it

[@automotiveaffairsshorts]

“You can really put the power down in a straight line!” Wow… what a feat of engineering 😅

[@ba77leman.]

I love mine

[@MichaelPolera]

Why not include both transmission options 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jz7551]

They need to develop a new manual transmission that can deal with the torque of the engine, and the engineers did not get the development budget needed to accomplish that.

[@oneHellvalley]

​@@jz7551they already have one, it's in the 370z and the non-nismo 400z.

[@rooseveltcade3935]

👍👍

[@J-kade]

If the price were a little more reasonable I would be down… but it’s not.

[@TChan-z8j]

at $70K, no thanks. Obviously a lot of car enthusiasts feel that the new Z is way overprices. I see none on the road.

[@backnu]

No manual transmission? At least a DCT? Just checked ... nope. Dead on Arrival!!

[@speterj]

Still haven’t seen a new Z in real life. They can’t be selling a whole ton.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

i saw 1 and its always parked at a Doctors office. Its the boulder gray color. Same with the Transgender Supra in 2020, i didn't see ANY for about a year then saw 1 and then saw another 6 months later. To date i have only seen about 10 of those BMW Supras ..

[@LateNightDateNight]

There isn’t a GR Corolla “Morizmo” Edition 😂

[@alexvalora]

All sport cars need be Manual ……for sure

[@kschoi84]

front fascia still 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@EffDinero8]

Those yellowish halogen map lights stick out like a sore thumb! Nissan gotta just take the loss on all those halogen's they stockpiled & just go L.E.D already like every other auto maker! JEEZE!!!

[@jesus222ish]

It’s just 20 horsepower of a difference that’s nothing come on really!! They should at least push it to 500 horsepower and THAN WE TALKING!!!!

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

500 hp on those turbos will blow them.

[@PaulEubanks]

Imagine driving a car that plays engine noise through the speakers.

[@isamu982]

If your buying a newer car its probably going to have that..

[@joshlamar1990]

@@isamu982not if it’s a v8 the dark horse sounds magnificent.

[@williamguillIII]

Get a 2024 Mustang that will smoke this car!

[@ormand3000]

And the Mustang comes with rear seats and a manual... Go USA 🇺🇸

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

FORD .... LOL

[@fabio2277]

So a 2011 mustang gt...

[@JK12518]

Pre-Biden you=now you! Progress!

[@Gerberbaby922]

Shame! Shame on Nissan for going automatic and shame on KBB for going along with it. The Nissan Z has long represented the enthusiast option, that appears to be dead.

[@gigi9467]

65k lol…. 70K plus with tax fee and license!!! Lmao!!!!! Hard hard pass!

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

$65k msrp Dealer markup to $100k ...

[@speterj]

3600 lbs isn’t that much?

[@noahboy6349]

The new 2024 Nissan Z is a disappointment as I haven’t seen one on the road. For the same amount of money car enthusiasts are purchasing the Toyota Supra instead.

[@kevinbarry71]

Manual seats, automatic transmission. Terrible combination

[@jz7551]

Manual seats are fine.

[@scott8238]

Your set your seat once and they save weight. Auto's depend on the persons needs

[@trevorD1156]

3600lb is not light by any standard, and lap times are irrelevant to 99%. Nissan has really lost their way.

[@motovloggingwithvman2188]

I stopped watching at the, this comes only as automatic..

[@defauIt2]

good for ppl like me. i tried to learn to drive manual 4 times. maybe i suck or the teachers are awful. i just don't get it.

[@motovloggingwithvman2188]

@defauIt2 certainly the teachers suck. I taught my daughter in one hour. The only thing to remember is that when you reach the friction zone where the car starts to move, just keep the clutch steady, and increase the accelerator gently and don't release till the car is well in motion. That is it, you will never ever stalll the car!

[@jessenelson8137]

A 350Z nismo customer will likey not be like: ' oh my gosh, this is a daily!' ... stupid review. give me a driving enthususiast, not a soccer mom... smh

[@defauIt2]

way overpriced. should come in at around $30k or so to move units. this is nearly 70 thousand dollars. this car is made for the common man or a kid in his 20s getting into racing with pocket money. i don't see value here. just paying extra money and getting nothing in return

[@SR-nf8]

No manual, no fun, no Nismo!

[@mclyker]

Describing 3rd gear... "Long and lovely and absolutely luscious..." tell me you are a female reviewer without telling me you are a female reviewer.

[@kbb]

Anything wrong with that?

[@scott8238]

Tell me you like men without telling me

[@mistersecret88]

68k caca auto caca box

[@rmp5s]

Auto only...womp womp...👎...hard pass.

[@ormand3000]

No manual, it's not a MIAMI.

[@michaelburda5631]

Didn't care for this person's assessment, 3rd gear is long, lovely and luscious? I don't have a clue what that means. Much better looking than regular Z however $65000 just took me out of the segment.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

3rd gear is longer than 1st and second. thats what that means and she likes it.

[@defauIt2]

the value is just not there at that price point. even 50 thousand is too much for a common man's sports car
