I don’t 🙂

Great car

It’s a pocket rocket

In 2019 I bought a low mileage 370z Sport Tech for $21k. Can't get that performance-to-value today for under $30k

Driving thoughts = shower thoughts = honest thoughts

Automatic is superior, sorry but true.

Its difficult to fire one up if im shiftung all the time. 😅

I think the new Z looks better than the 370z from every angle except the front, but I'm not sure I would trust that twin turbo engine to last as long as the 3.7L. I kind of wish they would have kept the 3.7 instead of using turbos, but it would have been too underpowered compared to the competition. Personally, I wouldn't buy the new Z used, but I would confidently buy a used 370z.

It's a drivers car, it wasn't really meant to be a daily driver. I think the S2000 is more of a recreational vehicle that's meant to be driven on twisty roads or club races on the track

amazing video man but couldn't stop looking at that haircut...

“It gets up to speed quite quickly if you’re really trying” and proceeds to show a video of the weakest pull ever and cruising video lol 😴

How to get one

I think the s2000 is one of the greatest true sports cars to ever have been made and Honda will never be able to replicate it’s success even if they were to drop another generation. Hopefully the market stays consistent with prices to incentivize owners to maintain them rather than chop and drop 😂 great vids man I enjoy watching them it’s good to see youngins like you who have a genuine passion for cars🍺👍

Good stuff man. I dabbled with the idea of getting an S2000 and struggled with the idea of living with the convertible top and cramped cabin which made me tap out and go Evo & CTR. Where is your head at on your ultimate JDM garage? Are you done buying for a while?

I bought my S2000 because of your videos, especially the night drives with your wife. I watched the whole video imagining that joy, I bought one and can say it was worth it 100%. I'm also a young father and so this was a last hoorah before investing in my family completely. So I am happy to have bought a clean 82k mile 2003 AP1 S2k. Also my wife enjoys the top down feel in California haha

I agree with you. All Nissan needed to do was, put up to date new interior technology, harden the soft plastics of the exterior that move too much in the mismo (I mean the red mismo areas), keep it in manual transmission (no crappy paddle shifting), add another model tier, bring it up to 400-415 horsepower, call it 400Z, don’t super inflate the prices, add an optional night package, and add an optional turbo package that provides and additional 50 horsepower. They would done this it would be selling like cocain for a dollar. Nissan is dying because they’re stupid and don’t care to listen to their fan base. Not the minority but the majority that is a huge fan of the 370Z. If they would have done this everyone would be happy.

This car is amazing and so are your videos, it’s honestly amazing how you can make such peaceful videos on your cars.

Nismo and automatic gearbox???????? Nismo is always with manual.

I have owned my s2000 for 15 years it’s always been a second or third car and still to this day every time I drive it I love it you definitely made the right choice nice looking as s2000

I was in the same situation and chose my 2008 S2K w/ 10k miles same color. It wasn’t a hard decision. You made the right choice.

Great video & awesome 370Z Nismo! I hear you about the transmission... I prefer a manual trans, but I also enjoy a good automatic. I feel the same way about people! Why do they care what we buy with our own money? They need to mind their own business and worry about themselves! Anyway, I finally bought my first EV after hating them for years. Last year after my first test drive, I bought a new 2023 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance that I love so much more than my modded 2015 Infiniti Q50 3.7 Premium RWD, which was my favorite car until that point. Even with the mods and running an average of 12.90 in the 1/4 mile, my Q50 feels so slow now compared to my Model 3 Performance! My Tesla does 0-60 in 3.0 seconds & runs 11.50 @ 117 in the 1/4 mile! That's only the Model 3 Performance. The 2024 Model 3 Performance rips to 60 in 2.8 seconds and runs 10.90 @ 125+ Then you have the mid 10 second Model S & the low 9 second Model S Plaid! My Model 3 Performance does everything better than my Q50.... Better ride, quieter, better braking, better handling, more comfortable, etc etc... I can get over 260 miles of range at 70+ mph on the highway & about 300 miles around town. That's almost 4 hours of 70+ mph highway driving before supercharging on a trip. It can charge from 20% to 80% in about 20 minutes. After 4 hours, I like to get out to take a break anyway. It's been great. I put 16k miles on my Tesla in the first year. I will never go back to gas-powered cars again! That's how much I love this car! I still have my sport bike that is gas powered. Anyway, I'll subscribe after this comment.

Besides the fact i hate the stock suspension geometry on S2000s (old MR2 owner thing i learned about evils of high rear roll centers, but lots of ways to work with or around it), i consider them more ideal then Miatas as a drivers car for most part, as a owner experience. My issue with having done a similar thing but on cheap end of the market with a AW11 many many years ago is having something special is nice, but then you also feel kinda different about it, its a hindrance in a way, although so would be a brand new car. That was easily my least favorite thing about owning and tracking a AW11, was it was too damn rare, i liked what it was but where do i find another? The S2000 is like that but more due to $ value, but in a good way that changes vs a ND Miata.

Hands down the coolest looking car!!!💪🏿😤

😍😍😍

Congratulation for this analysis and return of experience. It is exactly the same questions and answers I make... and end up 4 years ago with a Honda S2000 2004 AP1 F20C Phase 2 (in Europe we have the AP1 2.0l , red ligne 9000 rpm with the AP2 body) in mint condition and 75 K km (now 98 K km) and I am still on the honeymoon with it.

I had the same thought when I got my ‘19 Nismo. I love having an N/A and unsure if I want to boost. Almost full bolt on and I like to keep it looking stock. Updated the screen to give me CarPlay while maintaining the OEM look. And a white Nismo is a perfect flamboyant JDM car. Maybe in 5 year I might consider it, or even go the other way and try to get a 300Z.

Nice video. You made a lot of good points. I personally think that if your primary goal is to have fun, you can't go wrong with either option. However, the S2K can be also considered an investment, but like you said, the ND Miata has more "livable power" which is something to really consider as well. The sketch factor of older cars is also a good point. It seems so much easier to go with the ND Miata for peace of mind, modern amenities/safety features, ect. Although, just as you pointed out, the S2000 has that rarity factor that turns heads, but paying the price of a new sports car for something that old is conflicting (although the nicer S2000s are going to continue increasing in value).

new sub. good video 🫡

I've had 4 Miata's and 2 S2000 and trust me the S2000 is so much more than what a Miata offers.

370z❤💥👍

I’m 61 years old and enjoy the shit out of my stock 2020 STI. I will keep it stock as long as I own it. It’s fast enough for going from point A to point B. I drive it 90% of the time in Sport Plus with a rear wheel bias and Track Mode on and Traction Control off. This car really shines when it’s pouring rain here in Houston. I would mess with rear wheel drive cars with much more HP when it’s raining and they realize really quick that they cannot mess with an STI when the weather is less than ideal.

What exhaust do you have on there?

planning on getting a Subaru WRX STI but I do not know which year model to get the 2018 or the 2019 model as my first car. been always my dream car to own but searching through most of it have been junked up with mods.

Thank you for posting this mayne! I am on the fence between a 2019 STI or a 2021 acura integra manual tranny and a-spec w/tech pkg. Integra has 100 hp less than the sti, and the sti having hydraulic steering is a deal maker for me.

If it’s not a daily, and you plan on keeping the car stock, the s2000 is by far the better choice over the entire ND family. This is assuming you’re finding a decent condition s2000 where the paint and interior still look somewhat fresh. If it’s a daily, and you’re sub 6 foot, I gotta go ND2/3. It’s so good at handling it’s not even funny; then you got some solid modern tech in there. If you plan on modding, then I’m not your guy lol

Is this a stock exhaust? What exhaust

absolutely agree, we grew up idolizing the 350s in movies and games! Going into buying a car tho all the 350s are high mileage or customized heavily. I loved the 370 and couldn’t wait to get one with low mileage and stock, definitely a car I’m keeping for life😍 almost everytime I’m out I’ll get someone complimenting the car which is a great feeling too, good choice on the nismo!

I've had a 2021 STI for the past year. It's my daily, but i like taking it to same backroads and gravel tracks for some fun. Besides a singular oil leak at my turbo return drain pipe, it has been absolutely perfect. It does everything I need it to while also being an absolute joy to drive.

I’m torn between getting a nismo or a sport tech I’m only 18 so idk which way I should go abt picking one

U should get a pedal commander u will love it especially for the at. Makes it a lot more fun. I have roar pedal

this over a Miata any day

I’m struggling with the same decision….For me I think the final straw is the inability to mod the new z. The exhaust is almost impossible to change which is a must considering it sounds like an EV and not a sports car. 370z will be my choice

I have a 2018 370z nismo tech white with the red accent trim.. Automatic I love this car because it's true power it doesn't have a turbo I didn't like the super because it had a BMW motor the new z car turn me off with the twin turbo

Music name?

Two things are keeping my WR X. from being a dad car, no rear, AC and no remote start so I can cool the car off in these brutal Louisiana Summers before I put my toddler into a 120° car

it’s already a dads car, it’s got four doors.

This is a power point presentation for his wifes parents on why he gets to keep the car, hahahah

The 370Z is absolutely the better car.

This is how I plan on having the best of both worlds when the time comes. I hope to find a partner as understanding as everyone's in the comments. I think an unmentioned but nice and still fun family car would be the 2009-2020 Lancer Ralliart Sportsback if you are looking for a bit more room in the trunk. Same Engine as the Evo X in a different cast with the Evo 9 AWD system. Or another family car for an enthusiast would be the Infinity Q50, 4 door on the VR30DETT engine. Both are Auto, but still fun cars with the ability to perform.

I have 2018 4runner and the space in the wrx VA and VB is bigger for car seats than the 4runner. I have a 3yr old but we’ve had the 4runner since she was 1. Thought about it in depth and was in the market for one but finding the right financial options for them used sucked especially with miles. My wife has a Kia Telluride and thats like a mini van basically.
