I recently bought a 370z as a daily and I love it! I like the simple interior/features that was part reason I wanted it. No bs! In my opinion it's a car you buy for driving not for all the features. I will say this though, Nissan needs to drop the new price of these if they want to move units especially since they haven't changed. Happy to see it in the current line up still though. Great review as always
Raiti, you make me question how much a man can do in 24 hours. The 370Z is one of the best designed roadsters, if you see it on the street, it is captivating. The interior is dated but thats not why you buy this car, you buy this car because it is old fashioned and has an ageless exterior design that is safe for years to come. Beautiful car.
Well described. For car enthusiasts that want an engine, a transmission, a chassis, and a steering wheel. If not having things like lane departure warning systems and adjustable interior lighting are a dealbreaker, you're not really interested in a sports car in the first place.
When the 370 came out I thought it was ugly and preferred the design of the 350. But the first time I saw one in person it changed my mind and I fell in love with it. It has a very strong presence to it.
Bought my wife a 16 370Z Roadster with 44k miles. She’s only 4’11” so the car fits her great. Got it for 19k. It makes her happy ! Happy wife- happy life! Right Joe? It’s a great car for her to tool around in!
I remember when the 350Z first came to our shores in 2003 I was immediately smitten. But like you said, with basically no major updates the last 16 years the car has become very stale. Still a fun driving enthusiast car though. And at least you can still get it with a manual. Great review as always brother!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Edit: I was dying when you said well I did teach high school for 18 years so I am crazy 😂😂😂😂
Thanks AGAIN Joe (and Maus Nissan) for a VERY appreciated and candid review!!! As long-in-tooth as it is, I still love the 370Z! The heart of The Beast -- the VQ37VHR with its' 7,000 RPM redline -- is destined to become a naturally-aspirated V6 classic! Other vloggers dismissed the Z long ago because it lacks current high-tech gadgetry. They miss the whole point: The mission of the Z is its' visceral driving experience. When all those nice high-res monitors in other sports cars become obsolete and useless in a few years, only the driving experience is left to give you smiles...Long Live the Z!!!
Thank you for wonderfully down to earth review of the 370Z Roadster. I recently bought the only one I could find in SOuthern California, a 2016 with 24K miles. You hit on all the negatives, but also showed the esthetic and handling appeal of this convertible. It is our 4th Nissan/Datsun Z car. Not as hot as a Porsche, and the lines aren't as sleek as my recent BMW Z4 soft top, but a sweet driving road car, with the reliability of Nissan vehicles. The body design gradually proves ever more appealing. You validated my decision to go with this model. I look forward to driving it for many years to come.
I soooo agreeee, I want to sell mine though I’m scared of it becoming lesser value and a waste of money to me. I want a daily driver though and I feel like this isn’t that much. :p
i had the coupe version of this car. it was an awesome car to drive daily, powerful and also surprisingly comfortable. very reliable as a sports car. 2nd hand ones are now very affordable to get. This car will definitely become a classic. if i hadn't had my daughter, i'd still keep it.
Thanks for another interesting video on the Z. As you know, I have a 2019 370Z sport coupe 6M all-black that I use as a daily driver. I have had the car ceramic coated, so it maintains its super glossy black mirror finish very nicely. For just myself, it's a great daily driver that puts a smile on my face every day I drive it and makes life more fun. I'm going to have some stiffer Hotchkiss anti-sway bars installed front and back next week to improve the already great handling. About the only changes I would make to the car if I had the power would be to drop the weight a little to get it closer to 3,000 lbs, put in a slightly larger NA engine, delete the AC, install a 7-speed manual transmission, put all analog dash gauges in the driver's compartment with the voltmeter and clock replaced with an oil pressure and manifold pressure gauge, smaller exterior rear-view mirrors and thinner A-pillars, thinner steering wheel spokes, a heads up display that shows RPM, gear choice and oil pressure and finally a large high-resolution nav display in the console.
I bought a 13 sport manual about a month ago, the car looks timeless beautiful on the exterior, interior does need some love its really outdated but other than that its overall a great car been loving it. Keep the videos coming 👍🏼
I’m just a fan of the Z. The first time I laid eyes on the 04 I was shocked at the lines, curves, and affordability. I bought a roadster and it was a blast! It was the first car I got, at 20, that really got me. When I sat in that seat we became one. I think that’s what so special about people and cars they love, the relationship. To this day I would still buy the Z and think I will. I like it’s simplicity and the amount of fun you can have. I still remember to joy I felt of driving it at 3am on the freeway pushing 100mph, what an experience!
My second z had a 300 1988 years ago loved that car t-top manual I should have keep it traded for a Maxima love that car too but not much a z I just bought 350z 2007 67,000 I am in love. Had two bmws before this car 350z put Bmw to shame. I'm a Z man for life.
Great review! Personally really liked your review starting off more about the price/performance ratio and not straight up bashing on the 10-year-old design like most of the other ppl do. It's true that 370Z hadn't received some much-needed Tech upgrade to things like electronics and other things it deserves. And a lot of people doesn't feel justified to spend the same amount of money (if not more) for a car with such an older design. But what makes a 370Z such a good car despite the decade-old design is that through all these years it remains true that the 370Z is still one of the most enjoyable and engaging performance cars to drive; which your review reflect those aspects. The matter of truth here is, those who are willing to get one know what they are getting and simply enjoy driving a fun car.
A 2009 370Z convertible was the first sports car I got to drive. It really sucked on the inside and was uncomfortable but it was so awesome hearing that 3.7liter😍
It’s near the same horsepower and weight to a new supra. yeah CD players are kinda dated but they do provide better music sound quality than mp3 or mp4. $48k does seem a bit much for an old design. I don’t like the head and tail lights. I like them more on the 90s version. The squares were distinctive. The old pop ups were nice too. Good review. Looks like a decent car but needs some updating in interior and exterior and maybe hybrid electric version
Great 370Z Convertible its the beat in my opinion alone side the Mazda Miata. I probably would get 1 of these. Would love to see a 2019 or 2020 Nissan GT-R 1 day. Thanks Joe.
I like how you have both hands on the steering wheel driving that car. Nissan 370z's have always been twitchy to drive...no as bad as a Mustang though, but still have to be careful in them.
I test drove the coupe version and everything was sensitive (brakes, steering, and acceleration). The interior was outdated but the only things that saved it was the aux radio and the race car esque gauge cluster. Fun as hell, ngl
350Z was my dream car as a kid, I do feel like they don't let their cars age very gracefully though. I hope they give the future generations a bit of GTR infusion.
I enjoyed that Z-drive. Thanks for letting us tag along. Can you talk about the interior upholstery s little bit as to how it responds to outside temperature? I understand that this is a concern for roadsters, and other manufacturers treat the material in someway so that the seats don't burn you on a hot day for instance.
Joe great review honestly makes me sad as I definitely have nostalgic memories of the 370z in general. I feel like Nissan is neglecting the coupe model as well not giving the option of a manual for roadster beyond sucks. Thanks to the whole crew for making this review possible. Nissan is giving themselves a huge Zonk in not caring for this car as this is the budget gtr
I love the Z as well... Mine is a 2010 Roadster in white with the Sport package and Navi. Paid just under $17k for a very clean, low mileage example. It, too, has the 7AT. It's not my preferred choice of gearbox, but it's tolerable with the paddle shifters. I've owned a couple first generation and a second generation Miata over the years, and I miss the slick short-throw 6MT in that second gen car. The old school interior of the Z doesn't bother me. I like the retro look and feel to it. Is it worth $48k? No. Give a few years of depreciation, then pick one up for a much more reasonable price. I will probably keep mine for a decade before moving on.
Hey Raiti, great review. I'm seriously looking at buying a used 370, around 2010-2012, but haven't been able to test drive one yet. A lot of the reviews I've read and watched complain about the harsh ride and high road noise but it didn't seem bad in your video. Is it as bad as some people say?
It’d be cool if Nissan made an available targa top as an attempt to pay homage to the T tops of yesteryear. The Z should always though attempt to stay true to a raw, nearly absolutely analog driving experience. My fantasy grand slam for Nissan would be to design an all new turbocharged inline 6 with 380 to 400 crank HP with good potential for mods...🤗. One can only dream 🤷🏻♂️. Keep em coming JR. 🤙🏼
Still a great car after all these years. I have a soft spot for the Zed (hey, I'm English, no Zees here lol) as I used to own a Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo. Here's hoping they bring out a 400Z soon! C'mon Nissan!
Great review again. I might be the only 30 year old that prefers performance over technology, so this car definitely fits my style. The lines on the coupe are definitely better in the rear and I am not so confident on the convertible tops reliability. I have heard horror stories of the 350z roadster having electronic issues with the top.
This was a good sports car when it first came out in 2003 and they could have made this a great sports car!! Great engine and alot of stuff they could have taken off of Godzilla
We have two stingers, I am replacing one with MDX soon, now I am thinking a convertible like this or Miata as third car on weekends would be pretty nice.
Still better value for your money than a mazda miata. But convertibles are not for everybody. Mustang and Camero convertible sales have shrunk considerably as well
Looks like the top isn't working properly as the 5th bow is hitting the decklid on the way down. Nissan has a TSB for this issue however it's interesting this is occuring on a brand new late model Z.
Is that a typo, or do you really think the WRX looks like a sports car? It has a very bulbous, chunky sedan look to it so I don't see a sports car, even with the sporty elements like the wing and fenders. To me it looks like a basic family sedan with some aero.
What a shame Joe!!! For Nissan to neglect this car over time is truly a tragedy!!! Shame on you Nissan!! Another great review Joe, keep up the good work.
It's terrible how Nissan has neglected the Z. I bought a brand new 2006 Infiniti G35 (same platform as the Z) coupe 13 years ago and it's absolutely crazy to see the same tech that I had on my G35 back then. The Z car is one of the most iconic cars ever and to see it virtually forgotten by Nissan is sad. I really hope Nissan steps up to the plate and gives us a new Z car worthy of that iconic Z badge soon.
It's funny how everybody says Nissan is dated on a 10 yr design but Porsche and Jeep do this all the time.... every 10 yrs they update their 911's and wranglers like clockwork.
I think Nissan’s been neglecting most of their models. Think about the 370Z, Armada, Pathfinder, Frontier, Titan, and NV vans. Those models all have not received any major updates since at least 2016. Way behind in terms of techs.
240Z. The original still the best...RIP...you were to young to appreciate. The affect it had on the car world...The 900 Kaw motorcycle had the same affect...two stroke bikes to four stroke....These two are History...not this white elephant...
I don’t know the sales numbers but it’s a little overpriced and maybe that’s one reason for discontinuing it. R.I.P. roadster. Thanks for one last look Joe. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I didn't think I'd ever say this, but since I followed the channel from early days... time to revamp these inconclusive titles? I read your reasons previously for this style, but... this one could have been "The last topless samurai tested". Hmmm.... actually, ignore that!
I love Nissan but $48k for this? Good riddance. I’d rather get a used 370z nismo for 30k. Nissan/Infiniti is just embarrassing themselves at this point.. idk how they can “refresh” cars on the outside but leave the inside the same
I remember when I was looking into buying a convertible I test drove a mustang convertible a 370Z and a Audi A4 convertibleso far is room in space the Audi A4 3.2 Quattro have the best when it comes to space

So dated but such a classic 🥰
I don’t whether this or Nissan Frontier is the oldest
I would take over the Mazda Miata
This car is a blast to drive, especially with all the extra power over a Miata.
350Z came out late 2002 as a 2003. So its actually older then the Frontier.
@@RaitisRides weight Joe, weight. Come on. With all that extra power, it is only a couple of 10th 0to60 and 1/4 mile.
Remember they shortened the wheelbase from the 350Z to the 370Z so I guess it is a little newer platform.

You hit the nail on the head!
That’s our convertible Joe👍👍
The 370 convertable looks way better than the 350 convertable
They are really nice looking.
IMO, only with the top down. Both look horrid with the top up.
i feel like i shouldnt compare this to a miata, but i really feel the need to say that at nearly $50k, id much rather get a 2019 miata
I totally get where you are coming from! The price point on this Z is just ridiculous!
kashi - you’ll be very happy with a clean used Miata too! Save lots of money and no stress! Plus it’s a blast to drive!
Miatas are like go carts. Don’t understand what the fuzz is. I love my 370Z.
Looks like the top isn't working properly as the 5th bow is hitting the decklid on the way down. Nissan has a TSB for this issue however it's interesting this is occuring on a brand new late model Z.
Great review again ! The new wrx and wrx sti look like a sports car . What is the fastest speed you have reached in a vehicle in a review ?
Is that a typo, or do you really think the WRX looks like a sports car? It has a very bulbous, chunky sedan look to it so I don't see a sports car, even with the sporty elements like the wing and fenders. To me it looks like a basic family sedan with some aero.
Are you talking about the 2021 design? That is only on a need to now basis. ;-)

My dad still has a Nissan 280 Z dozen
That is really cool!
I might have to pick one of these up 😍
It’d be faster if Tom wasn’t in there!😁 This car comes with a dash plate- DRIVEN & TESTED BY JOE RAITI
You are so right! That would be cool!
Sad but if Nissan isn't going to really do anything to update/new gen or upgrade upon the platform, this is the end.
You are so very right!
timephire nope. Wait till october
Nissan has neglected the 370z but is still a great car. I own a 2010 370z Roadster😎.
You have a keeper!
It's funny how everybody says Nissan is dated on a 10 yr design but Porsche and Jeep do this all the time.... every 10 yrs they update their 911's and wranglers like clockwork.
You may be right!
I think Nissan’s been neglecting most of their models. Think about the 370Z, Armada, Pathfinder, Frontier, Titan, and NV vans. Those models all have not received any major updates since at least 2016. Way behind in terms of techs.
I totally agree with you!
Soft tops always look horrible, especially on sports cars.
I do like the clean lines of the speedster style cover.
Conscious Robot - Porsche Boxster looks good.
Yes it does!
In your opinion which would you get f type by jaguar or roadster 370,as far as handling and preforming and reliability?
I think I like it if it got facelift with more sci-fi tech fresh touch, I mean its the vibes I did saw on the first look of this design
This may be a collectors dream. But still to 💸💸💸💸💰💰💰
I totally agree with you on that William!
Hey Raiti! Is this still for sale in your country?
Hi joe!
Did u use oil catch can w/ your sti RA?
Or do u use them on your previous cars?
No I never did.
@@RaitisRides so I wont do it 2. Thanks!
Muuah.
48K is waaay too much. You can get a brand new fully loaded Mustang GT for that price, or even a Pre-owned Shelby GT350.
That is one of the many areas where Nissan went wrong with this car!
Hell yes it’s a damn good car and with the tube exhaust you can eat up older corvettes for dinner
Same key fob had me rolling 😂
That' Veyron comparison was pretty weak lmao. Love your videos though!
LMAO! I love trying to get a laugh in.
I didn’t know that they offered a roadster but Nissan will eventually redesign the 370z
There's a 350 roadster, of course there's a 370
Fingers crossed it actually happens!
@@MidwestDankAlumni That is a very good point!
they need a 500Z heh
Or an E Z
390Z in electric might be the next!! !!! Maybe 2023 version
this car needs a serious redesign. I can't believe they have not done anything to this car since a decade ago.
are they still for sale ? I’ll love to have one tbh !
No they are not Cody.
I wish they could make a nismo convertible. That would be cool.
Come on dude..... Auto trans.. Your Killin me
I didn't option it out.
Did you have any height issues? Im a few inches taller than you at 6'3". I haven't had a chance to test drive a 350 or 370z yet
Not at all.
240Z. The original still the best...RIP...you were to young to appreciate. The affect it had on the car world...The 900 Kaw motorcycle had the same affect...two stroke bikes to four stroke....These two are History...not this white elephant...
My favorite is the 300ZX
Raiti's Rides yea that was nice. "The fat one"...went from all sport to upscale lux...
God please gimme this car, i want this so much
Fingers crossed it happens for you.
I don’t know the sales numbers but it’s a little overpriced and maybe that’s one reason for discontinuing it. R.I.P. roadster. Thanks for one last look Joe. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are so very right Larry! The price point is just really off!
I didn't think I'd ever say this, but since I followed the channel from early days... time to revamp these inconclusive titles? I read your reasons previously for this style, but... this one could have been "The last topless samurai tested". Hmmm.... actually, ignore that!
You are awesome! I really love that one! LOL
Well its allot better then those newer pathfinders behind it. Don't even bother reviewing any of those.
LMAO! You freaking crack me up!
the blind spots are worst with the top on smh
Like this video everyone
Jeyhailio Crooks thanks for saying that!
Np
Where is it that road??? I need to go there!!
I know how you feel!
@@RaitisRides tell me what is it ...please!! hahahahaha
Bruh. My old 93 Buick Skylark had the vents on the door. That ain't shit.
The Dealership just takes orders , they never have these babies on the lot
You are so very right Shaun.
Love the car but the price is something else, 40k u could get yourself a Lexus or a luxury car tbh.
You totally hit the nail on the head!
Haha that shifter does look like a office chair wheel
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
I love Nissan but $48k for this? Good riddance. I’d rather get a used 370z nismo for 30k. Nissan/Infiniti is just embarrassing themselves at this point.. idk how they can “refresh” cars on the outside but leave the inside the same
48K?!! Sorry Nissan, I love the Z, but cmon now.
Tell me about it seriously!
Biggest zonk for me is, it’s an automatic. 🤷🏽♂️
Bon Jovi? Your so funny Joe!
I am glad that I can share the laughs with you Bob!
At $48k! Good luck for dealerships trying to sell them.
AGREED!
I can finally one up my neighbors Bugatti
I'm loving the niece'arrrn 370 zeeeeeeeee
This guy has done like 5 videos about the 370z wow Nissan must be paying a lot.
HAH! I wish! I love doing all the different trim levels of cars. Not everyone wants or can afford a NISMO.
Raiti's Rides yeah you are right, and don’t get me wrong I totally support you... I have a 350z
Damn that interior seems so dated :(
I would love to see you do a review of a Nissan Skyline GTR
The GTR is coming so stay tuned!
I prefer the Mazda Miata. Much more fun to drive.
AGREED!
I remember when I was looking into buying a convertible I test drove a mustang convertible a 370Z and a Audi A4 convertibleso far is room in space the Audi A4 3.2 Quattro have the best when it comes to space
Thanks for sharing that great input!
Office chair wheel haha
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
