Manual seat adjustment is a big plus. Less weight, less complexity, less likely to ever fail.

[@keithbellair9508]

No its just cost cutting, and for that reason its a plus…

[@foreversolvent5334]

electric seats just take too long. I prefer to pull a lever and be done with it.

[@keithbellair9508]

Electric seats are much better, and i’ll tell you why… you can adjust them to a fine level, to a millimeter. The manual ones you have to click into place and on the recline you cant always get that perfect posistion.

[@Soravia]

Only plus side of electric is key fob and button based memory for different drivers. Lots of weight. I have them.

[@izzyiz810]

I rather the manual seats but at this price you gotta ask yourself... what are you really paying nearly $60k for?

[@bartdvorak5306]

I don't want to give too much hate, but most of the things described in this video are absolutely unnecessary and unimportant. Yes, engine noise, both in the cabin and from the exhausts, is not something anyone with a v6 car wants to skimp on, and yes, bad brakes are an issue, but we have a few things to think about. First of all, things like the control of the mirrors and the seat, or the wrong placement of the drink holders is an absolutely unnecessary thing to deal with. Yes, this sports car may lack a bit of sportiness, but it still doesn't need excessive luxury. You also have to learn to live with the size of the suitcase. That the appearance is a bit shabby is an individual matter and, moreover, when driving you will see the inside of the car, not the outside. So far, all generations of the Z series have been tunned, so even this car with its v6 engine will be a rarity. Then there will be no more people who hate it, maybe only those who would take it as a classic and not as a sports car. In short, if you just want to look at a car, buy a 100-year-old veteran that doesn't drive much anyway and drink coffee with it in the garage. A video full of unsavory rants failed to deter the purchase, and quite possibly amused that the 15th reason was the brand of the car (which also made no sense). Buy this car, tune It, and enjoy it. And above all, be glad that we still have combustion engines at all, because the design of the new Z is eerily close to electric cars.

[@g4mrplays]

yeah it's funny reading all the hate videos I think the hate is really just the price point, 10k less and people wouldn't complain. Z's have always been a modders dream, and the modds i seen have been nice - everything's working as intended :) - kinda glad nobody really has my car right now xD

[@vincentlarry8440]

But with that price you could get a Toyota Supra and Honda Civic and has more tech and features

[@bartdvorak5306]

@@vincentlarry8440 Well, yes, you could, but in this moment comes truth, if you really love Z's. If you are a nissan fan, you will not take a Honda or Toyota. It's just what design you want (or if you want 4 pistons or 6 pistons, and if you want inline or V engine).

[@matt_small]

I've had a 370z for 7 years now and it's incredible to see how similar my car (that is actually now 10 years old) is to the new z. It's like the interior has been slightly changed to included updated gauge and infotainment console, the outside has been simply reskinned, and they added a turbo. The Z is showing it's age already. I wouldn't sell my 370z to upgrade to this for the price they are asking. Thanks for the content!

I haven't seen a single one on the road!!

[@lee-gd8iq]

No one is buying them. I'm in DFW area, still have not seen a single one, or heard anyone even mention them.

Reason 2, the 280ZX Turbo would sit down on the back wheels when you floor it. As a teenager, it was very fun when the front of the car would lift up because I was going “So Fast”.

[@edrock400]

I believe the stitches defects could possibly be on your car but not only your car. But the suspension issues I see a lot and the tires I hear suck too. What really surprised me is the black two tone is a wrap like wtf is that about! Happy I seen your video and thank you.

[@jesusbarranco8301]

the price for me is the real reason it’s shitty dealers are marking them up like no other 😂

No jittering mirrors with mine or issues with panel alignment or brakes. Everything else pretty much on the money. Still love it.

[@DaBlaccGhost]

Got it so new suspension, break pads, removing the fake exhaust speaker sound, new exhaust, and LOTS of anime decals. I'm trying to get one in black but they aren't selling any in the 150 miles/6 dealer ships I've asked about where I'm at. So many "manager floor models that aren't for sale"

[@The_driftologist]

You forgot to mention the very shart doors ends that rip through shirts and skin 😅. Seems to me it is the same as the 370z . Which is really bad for first hand owners, but really good for second hand owners since you got z1 motorsport to shop for upgrades (suspension, brake system, clutch, probably master and slave cylinder as well 😂)

[@Michael.a4555]

[@yoinkerman]

The mirrors fold?? I gotta try mine

[@michaelscurr9046]

Im impressed with your honestly the suspension issue well that can be fixed but the break issue id be making nissan pay for that

[@Coyote350]

Yeah after fighting a bit I got it covered under warranty.

[@michaelscurr9046]

That’s good news

[@NeonAnimeDreams]

The suspension can only be fixed so much, you can replace the springs but what if the linkages are crap? Are the linkages even the same as the 370z I wonder? Is it a fully independent suspension? Is it double wishbone? I mean what are we dealing with in this lemon? Lol

[@HansDelbruck53]

It's brake, not "break".

[@sethm10]

Nice recap. I was already hyped on this car until I realized the sport version does not get the comfort package. Both versions should also have vented seats. Oh and it’s Sept 2023 - I have yet to see any Z’s on the road. I read Nissan having paint issues, so big delay in production.

[@g4mrplays]

loving the sport personally, hoping to change that in my area - people can't help be look and be wow'd shit's lovely lol, didnt even see heads turn for the porche's that run around. definitely looks better in person - can't wait to drive it tomorrow lol

[@yootoobed]

Own 2024 Z Performance 6MT - while 'some' of the comments are true, overall the new Z is a pleasure to drive - most car owners in USA don't drive this on a race track every day - they drive and enjoy their Z as a daily driver - 2 big thumbs UP for the new Z - the PROs far outweigh the CONs - that's reality. I really like the suspension - for daily use, it is very comfortable and does not beat you up on bumpy roads. The power is impressive - handling is superb - high quality feel overall - very substantial, tight, and again, the suspension is just right in my opinion of driving many many years. The new Z is 150% FUN, Inc. Bottom line: at a price point of mid 50's, there is NO COMPETITION to the new Z - the dupedra is not a competitor - if you want to create a list of all the inadequacies of the dupedra, I will guarantee you it will be much longer compared to the Z. From: a happy new Z owner Rock on Nissan!

[@JustChillingNahhhhMean]

Good rage review… funny stuff

[@Coyote350]

Thanks mate!

[@crazycar4015]

As a car enthusiast who wants to upgrade from a Rogue after I graduate college, into my first (working) enthusiast car, I think it's a lofty goal to buy one of these but not impossible nor necessarily bad. These issues are either things I'm already used to from my Rogue or nonissues for me, like the manual seat adjustment. That being said, if I already owned a 370z I would probably not "upgrade", especially at these price points. And tbh, I might as well keep the 370z in mind given how rare these cars are to actually find at your dealer. It's been nearly a year now I think and they still don't seem to have been made in particularly great quantities. And obviously, little has been done by most manufacturers to crack down on parasitic dealerships. It's definitely amazing how poor the build quality can be on a $50,000 car, manufacturers can't keep using COVID as an excuse for supply chain issues.

[@g4mrplays]

most of these seem like non issues - and the z is a enthusiasts dream - excited to see more fun mods and less drag mods being posted. Seems like the content for the Z's has died off Q4 2023

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

Do you even know that your car has the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car? ADUH??????? That should be your number one reason for saying the Z is trash. Number two should be the color!

[@dmacarthur5356]

Some things are just unacceptable from a design and engineering standpoint and some may be attributed to post covid supply chain and labor shortages. Either way for the money they want for that car , they should be embarrassed.

[@coversbyrichard]

So basically, wait till dealerships can’t sell them and then buy a base model a couple years after, and replace every stock part with aftermarket parts to fix all the shortcomings… You’re really just paying for the engine, a chassis, and the basic necessities. Can’t say I’m surprised. Nissan has always been barebones…

[@Coyote350]

How would it being LHD make any difference?

[@OSOKKRONOS]

@Coyote350 cause the cup holders don't move from side to side, so therefore I don't hit any drinks in my cup holders when shifting unlike the RHD version

[@Coyote350]

Oh so the handbrake on LHD models is still on the left side of the centre console! I just looked it up, make sense. What doesn’t make sense is why they didn’t do it properly for the RHD models.

almost every one of these points can be justified by nissan cause either its a sportscar not an SUV, or cause its a sports car thats supposed to be a direct competitor with the new supra... meaning its one of the cheapest. 1. yeah thats sad but whos really gonna care at the end of the day people arent buying z's for the attention to detail. 2. just get coilovers for like 2k more if you dont like it 3. save weight and its not like thats such a negative that you have to point it ouit like i shouldnt buy it JUST for better seat controls. 4. the sticker is a disappointment but once again, who cares, if theres a slight imperfection like that corner just cut it since its just a sticker, or take it off and actually paint it, you can clearly afford a brand new sports car upwards of $40k, spend a bit more to get tthat fixed if you dont like it, or buy a luxury car, not a z. 5. this car was very clearly marketed towards america for left hand drive, so yes as it is kinda bad and i do agree with you on this point, you have other cup holders, 2 seats and 4 cups is weird if you ask me. 6. who cares wtf 7. who cares wtf x2 8. street racing are we? thats illegal. 9. if youre wanting good sound get a mustang, almost any modern car will have bad exhaust. 10. no proof lmao what is this 11. no proof and that must be rough knowing you had to break that hard (fr tho yeah thats kinda a prollem) 12. yeah the quality is bad but other than that just learn how to use a backup camera lmao almost every backup cam does that distance thing. (also the camera was on the grass in the cam you very obv moved it to the rocks for that shot) 13. its like barely off lmao its a budget sports car 14. you literally pointed it out, its a sports car, noobody buys these things for traveling... i feel like this video was made as a joke, but idc i would love to own this car and if anyone tries to say its still bad, you try making a 400hp twin turbo drift car on this level for under 50k starting from scratch (other than the 370z interior)

I have 0 experience or comparisons to other cars but it is incredible. I drive the automatic which feels great. The engine noises sound great, and although I guess it's amplified/artificial through the speakers it sounds good. I imagine if you wanted something really loud and obnoxious you would modify it anyway. The suspension does feel soft (I guess?) But the ride quality is absolutely amazing. I use it as a daily driver and I wouldnt want to have a harsh ride everywhere I go for me and my passengers. The power and speed is insane, again no experience with anything else at this level but it is so much fun to drive. The numbers provided seem to be 0-60 in 4-4.3 seconds for the automatic which is objectively quick. From my point of view the Z is an excellent car for the average person. I cant speak on behalf of diehard enthusiasts however. I imagine most of the issues people have (exhaust too quiet, suspension too soft, tires, etc) the enthusiasts would modify themselves anyway As for the other nitpicky reasons it's (trash) I think they are negligible. Side mirrors? Trunk space? Hood? Roof? Etc are non factors. The car looks and feels amazing. Hopefully this helps your decision. Not to mention you'll be the only one within hundreds of miles driving it. This is a rare car currently and it's fun to own and be seen with one of only a few in the country.

Thanks man, unfortunately I just don’t post enough for that to happen 😅

Very minor issues

[@Coyote350]

Some of them definitely aren’t

@@Coyote350 sigh... why ya gotta do me like this, bro? I was looking at getting one of these. But 60k for this many issues is disappointing. I disagree about manual seats tho. They'll still work 30 years later. Would you still recommend this car?

[@Coyote350]

@@TheReapersSon It’s hard to recommend anything as everyone wants different things. It’s still a good car. But your probably best to go and drive one and see what you think.

@@Coyote350 the suspension issues are the real surprise considering Nissan has had numerous Z models with good handling before this one. So it's strange that one of the biggest performance points of emphasis Nissan lists on their website is also one of the car's worst attributes, per your feedback in this video.

@@TheReapersSon I can still send the car a million miles per hour into a mountain hairpin. It’s capable. Just not confident.
