I love this car and not one thing about it bothers me. None of the carry-over parts are a problem and I'm glad Nissan made sensible choices in order to bring this car to the world.
@@bobbowie9350 I get that, but I’m just really glad we have a Z in this world. Collectively, we have nearly made cool cars extinct with having everything be overly practical. I say the more sporting cars, the better even if they’re not perfect.
I don't feel like the pricing and packaging was very sensible. Base model is less equipped then even far more affordable cars, and the top trim everything isn't much cheaper then a Supra or loaded Stang. Which both outperform the Z.
Love that Nissan has decided to make a new Z car~ I mean analog cars can be good, and it's nice that this car remains very mechanical like the previous generation was. I mean between this and the GT-R (which is sadly going away soon), both are very mechanical, raw, visceral, and still quite fun. Sometimes you want a sports car that feels older, more raw, and more connected, and I think Nissan achieved that.
@@WD.909 It's probably because Nissan has to meet certain regulations for the GT-R to even be able to be sold in certain countries, but unfortauntely it didn't. It wasn't sold in 2022, but it will be reintroduced for 2023, and after that I think the R35 GT-R will not be sold anymore until a new generation comes out hopefully. GT-R hasn't received a major update since 2017 and has remained the same. I mean $113,540 is not cheap anymore and certainly probably not a lot of people will buy the NISMO GT-R, which is now $210,740, so a lot of people really don't see reason to buy the GT-R anymore, since it hasn't changed and Nissan is trying to at least make a little more money on what is left of it, but there are some who really like it (including myself).
Nissan is looking good with their line ups from the new Sentra to the refreshed Altima to the new Rogue to the baby Godzilla the Nissan Z. Nissan is bouncing back strongly 💪.
Since this is just the old S in a fancy new suit, some stuff I’m sure is transferable. You can fix any issues you have with it. I call this a big fat W
@@rt2255 Agreed, I was never a big fan of the big booty rear of the 350 and 370 which is why I went the Infiniti route, way better looking, but looks are subjective so meh. The Z35 hits it out the park though, definitely took the best of all Z styling ques, that enormous fuel filling door though!
@@anydaynow01 yeah that was weird spot on fuel door for sure but when closed not so noticeable, especially on dark cars as outline is better hidden, on yellow probably stands out more. My black z32tt hid hatch lines great ,on light colors they stood out that dark line
The fact that this is a true authentic Japanese car makes it a great choice. The supras better sure but only because it’s a bmw. That said the Z vs the previous 370Z nismo ooh that’s tough…
@@joshlamar1990 Well Ferrari, C8 Z06, BMW I-6, and Porsche fans just collectively cried after reading you comment since they now think their smooth sounding engines are considered EVs.
like they kept analog nothing wrong with the old chassis l know it work well l like it has a 3L V6 TURBO AGAIN . I LOVE THE SIMPLE INTERIOR !! GREAT OPTION TO OTHER SPORTS CARS OUT THERE
I own a tastefully modded 370Z and it is a blast. All the new Z needs are coilovers, some simple AMS mods and a tune and it will be as fun as any car you can buy. The ultra high horsepower cars without manuals are really not all that engaging.
Its nice a upgrade from the last model. The maxima needs a upgraded engine and front end at around 30k to 35k loaded, rather than not producing it anymore.
@LATRAVISCONDERY1 yeah but that's life. Everything 5 years ago have significantly increased in price. Even the Avalon is close to $50k loaded out and the Altima and Camry loaded are close to $40k. It seems like a stretch because wages don't increase the same pace as inflation
@@stevornrichards1380 yea I remember in 1997 and summer 1998 you could buy brand new Altima with sunroof or Camry loaded for under 20k and Maxima fully was 25k back then can't believe they increased in price so much the platinum is jazzy!!!! But that's just too much money I bet that's why the Maxima getting dropped as much as Maxima has a big fan base not a whole lot of people are willing to spend near 50k on the Maxima or Avalon when they can get V8 muscle for similar price or cheaper like 5.0 mustang GT, Charger SRT, or Camaro SS, or 370z NISMO for pricetag of a Platinum Maxima but the Maxima will be missed
Nissan didn't make an "analog" car, they updated an existing car with a limited budget. I'm sure Nissan realized this will not be a volume seller, but kudos to updating where they could.
THIS CAR IS BEAUTIFUL!!! All it needs is a smoother, stronger, straight six, better and more refined auto and manual transmissions that aren’t lame, sound deadening, new lighter, stronger chassis, new suspension, adjustable shocks, better exhaust that you can hear with pops and crackles, flat bottom steering wheel, better, nicer interior materials, better tires, better infotainment, and lighter weight……Or you could just buy a Supra and be done with it!
I had the supra auto and that's the only reason I sold it, the supra had everything I needed and defenitly more power and better look, but try to get it in a manual, I love the interior of the Z too, but I'm only talking from my experience of owning the supra!
@@user-dr4iu8mg5u I appreciate your response, yeah when it came out in manual it was added to my list for sure. I've only owned manual cars personally. I also heard that the Supra has Apple Carplay only? It's sad that it doesn't have Android.
The Toyota Supra may be more agile. But the Nissan Z will age more gracefully. I wish that Nissan would have come up with a newer platform. But Nissan had to use the old FM Z34 platform because of corporate budget constraints. Until last year, Nissan was in the red. Overall, a very nice car.
@@DragonKnightX12 true but bmw slash supra does not offer one priced like that. Fact is base z for most owners does not really need lsd. Truly how often will average owner say i miss lsd, most will never know the difference.
Rear window frame , rear bumper, interior all looks parts bin. Even the door handle looks very "part line" heavy. The rear light bar looks like its from a different car.
James and Thomas are much better, and don’t repeat the same stock phrases all the time: for a while I thought that every single car had a “solid-sounding thunk” until he started to mix it up a little, def cringe-worthy!
Thank you Nissan to bring out such a beautiful sporty Coupé on the market in 2022! They also could have just bring out another SUV and calling it Z. Just like Mitsubishi did it with the Eclipse xD
I don't like the fact that it is about 150 to 200 lbs heavier than the 370Z and has a less responsive electric steering system than the 370Z's manual hydraulic rack. With a good aftermarket exhaust and intake system plus a dyno tune, my 370Z is putting out about 378 hp at the crank with a normally aspirated engine. I've taken about 65 lbs off of my Z and so my horsepower to weight ratio is about the same as the new Z, for about $15k less. I think the new Z has been designed to be more of a GT cruiser than a sports car.
Man I’ve been saying this since the Z was prototype, can you imagine how much better the RS400 would drive with a 9speed even the base engine as well, add the manual to the q60 I bet you money those sales will go up !
Hopefully NISMO will improve the design and not hinder it.🤪 Lots of potential….look towards Porsche for inspiration.🙏 Easiest way to bring Nissan back into the fold….retro fit the GT-R motor and drivetrain into the Z…heck, they’re already using old parts.🤪
@@vagabond1776 The Z already reaches the 50Ks with the performance trim, even a normal Nismo is gonna ended up in the same price bracket as the C8 Stingray. Fitting in the R35 drivetrain would require a lot of re-work and upgrades to the chassis and the other components....might as well just drop the Z body on the R35, and call it a day.
Throttle House had a great, if disappointing video on the new Z a few weeks ago, if not longer. I’d say check that out, but if you’re here you might have already seen it, and was just hoping for a more positive review. 😅
I like it cause years down the road I can find one and make it a project car. I’ve always wanted a car with my touch’s and I like the aftermarket with this
useless car when dealers are asking for for ridiculous amounts of markups still, especially when they are effectively forcing you to get the upper trim for the LSD along with the other useless options
I don't see a compelling reason to choose this over a Mustang GT or Camaro SS. All 3 cost about the same and drink gas, but the V8s are more powerful in the real world, sound better and offer vestigial back seats. The Supra is probably the fastest of all but sniffs $60K and will have BMW maintenance costs.
dang this is the first time I'm early to anything, I'd like to take this time remind everyone to stay hydrated and brush your teeth twice a day
Grape juice and altoids

@@WD.909 gtr is bad at braking so it isn't a supercar but it's a ok car
The GTR is only going away in the States. The new one was unveiled a month ago..
Could you do more comparison test and also night videos to show how the interior looks at night and show how the headlights perform
Ditto, I like those too
Old school classic cars are so amazing and laid back to the same thing to 90's throwback feeling like a lot better than the same time as well
really excellent review mate! I really enjoyed all the detail and thoughts covering the various aspects
Reminds me a bit of your test drive of the Lotus Emira. That also had a lot of giggles, which is what enthusiast driving should be about

Chassis is based on 350 370 but twinturbo is from infinity not old z looks 10 million times better than butt ugly 350 370 models.

The lights in the tail lights are a rounded off rectangular shape like the rectangles in the front grill .
It's the best car an almost bankrupt car company can make. Not great. but a decent upgrade using an old and heavy chassis.
Nothing better than a rwd manual japanese sports car
If I’m going to have this car. I will definitely need a garage.
Is there gonna be a convertible??
I am glad they did not white wash the driving experience. Fun to drive is so important regardless of power.
I will make sure to keep in mind about the glowebox size before I make my purchase!
$92K asking price for that price is nonsense!!! some are asking 130K. Crazy!
Excellent job SOFYAN 👏👏👏.....HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ✌️
what is the best tires to put on the 2023 nissan Z performance model??

Seriously, the markups are insane. I need to wait for another year or two for the price to go down if I wanna get it.
It’s called; “supply and demand”, also known as “capitalism”! You may have heard about it.
