Page 2 about the driving report on the sports car from Nissan: [at the beginning]
The 370Z is a classic sports coupe. A potent engine, rear-wheel drive and in between a cozy place for the two occupants. The Nissan 370Z is also a really unethical offer. With the facelift, the prices have also tumbled and so begins the entry into the 328 PS Coupe World already at 32.900 €. A real announcement for this performance class.
3 variants - 2 body shapes
With a roof or “topless”, plus two equipment lines and the extra athletic Nismo. The 370Z buyer can choose from several Z-variations. In the test I had the 370Z in the PACK version with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The automatic version costs € 2.150 extra, the recommended PACK equipment costs € 3.000 in the account of the inclined buyer.
38.050 € as a base price is still “suspicious of a bargain” considering the performance offered. (To sort things out: A Porsche Cayman S with 325 HP and PDK is in the price list from €66.944,25.)
The PACK version comes with the forged 19″ wheels, BOSE sound system, cruise control, leather sports seats and the associated seat heating. Anyone who is keen on the new Nissan Connect premium multimedia and navigation system with a 7″ touchscreen display (which was included in the test car) can get this as an optional extra, but only if they have checked the “PAACK version” beforehand has. So it all comes down to the “Nissan 370Z Pack”…! Or if you like it even sportier, go for the 344 hp and visually sharpened one NISMO version of the 370Z.
Advantages:
[cross list]- Honest suction engine
- Handy rear-wheel drive
- Favorable purchase price
Disadvantages:
[bad list]- Not perfect seating position
- High consumption
- -
The consumption:
- Everyday driver without a thrifty foot: 10.6 liters per 100 km
- Eco-expert with a green toe: 8.9 liters per 100 km
- Field workers with full throttle desire: 17.8 liters per 100 KM
The next Nissan 370Z should be different on this point:
- More lateral support for the shoulders and a steering wheel with a larger adjustment range.

The conclusion: Nissan 370Z - 7-speed automatic in the PACK equipment
An honest athlete
Sometimes a little rough, but always a reliable partner. The 370Z impresses primarily with its smoky-sounding engine and its handling. My trip into the curvy terrain of the Eifel showed that the “oasis of driving pleasure” was not a mirage. The 370Z does what it promises: lots of driving fun at an extremely fair entry-level price!
