Overview & Reviews
The 2009 Nissan 370Z sports coupe is an all-new replacement for the outgoing 350Z. Highlights include a larger and more powerful engine, nimbler handling and a higher-quality interior.
- Responsive and powerful V6, tenacious cornering grip, nifty rev-matching manual transmission, supple highway ride, good driving position, relatively low price.
- Massive blind spots, nighttime instrument reflections, V6 gets a bit coarse at high rpm.

Engine Oil Temp Concern - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By Alabama Driver - August 19 - 12:23 amThis is a great looking, reasonably priced little sports car. It handles well and definitely turns heads at stop signs and coffee shops. I only have 1K miles on it, but it has been a blast to drive. My only concern at this point is the high oil temperature readings. I would really like to hear what Nissans solution is for the high temp readings.

2009 370Z Touring - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By G.D. Monhollen - August 12 - 3:46 amThe car looks great and is fun to drive. The ride is a little tight, which is to be expected with the sport suspension. With the seven speed automatic transmission, the shifts are at the correct rpm and the engine idles at highway speed. The high school teens drool at the sight of the new "Z" car. I hope to keep this car for a long time...

Decent sports car for the money - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By Jim - July 9 - 11:06 amI was driving a Cayman S and the Z car is a totally different animal. I know they are suppose to be competitors but the Cayman is much more comfortable and feels like the precision Porsche Euro sports car that it is and the Z car feels like a cramped Japanese sports car which it is. No comparison but I just wanted to try the Z car for a year or two but im going back to the Cayman S next time. Dollar for dollar the Z is a good value though and if you arent 6-1 like me its probably a better value . A smaller person might not feel as cramped as I do. I just fit in Euro cars better. Acceleration was ok but the Cayman S just feels more exhilarating for some reason.

Looks good parked next to our 1978 280z - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By Tony & Lesley - June 13 - 1:10 pmThe car overall is wonderful. The only problems so far are that the seats are made for smaller/thinner people. If you are larger, they may not be comfortable. The access for a "lighter" style battery connection is up under the passenger side console. Not very convenient for plugging in cell phones, etc. The back cargo area is very limited. Our small dogs crate will not fit in there so we cant use the car for traveling. The blind spot in the rear quarter panels on both sides is bad and I have almost changed lanes on top of people twice. Limited rear view. As an every day driver though, it is fun and really turns heads. This is our 3rd Z car and we still have our original, a 1978 280 2 door

A Blast to drive - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By Alex - November 10 - 2:06 pmThe get up and go of the VQ37 engine is amazing, it oozes power. Very flat torque curve, keeps pulling harder as you shift. The car bleeds sex appeal, no matter who pulls up alongside you, heads are turning, men and women alike. By far one of the best looking sports cars out, especially for the money.

Best 1 Yet - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By The "Z" Man - October 24 - 7:46 pmI have had 1978 280z, 1984 300z, 1991 300 tt, 2003 350z, and now 2009 370z and this one is the best yet. Best looking, driving, 19" rays forged rims, interior design is much better than 350 but can still use memory seats and mirrors. This car gets looks from just about everyone.

poor mans GT-R - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By True Sports Car - September 9 - 5:06 pmWe got the Sports package with the upgraded wheels, brakes, suspension, etc. The ride is firm but not overly stiff, even with the 19s. Yellow paint has every head turning. The front plastic spoiler gets scraped on every 4" driveway. The blind spots are significant but thats why they give you 3 mirrors. Ive had a C5 Vette with the Z51 suspension, the Z rides no worse, and it probably wont leak in the rain. The MPG is mid 20s but the car is still new, hopefully better with time. I love the look, handling, ride and Nissan parts availability and reliability. The difference between a GT-R and a 370Z is not so much performance but cost of parts when tires, brakes, etc. are replaced

Wow This car is amazing! - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By Reggie - August 30 - 12:20 amI purchased this car at 80 miles last week and I already have 800 miles on it. Its such a blast to drive it. People pull up next to me while driving and ask questions about it. I have no problem with the seats(mines leather) and the bose system is awesome.The music does not distort at all even at the highest setting. Ive reached speeds up to 120+ mph easy. The manual transmission is really tight and close. It can jump off the line with no problem. The trunk can fit at least 2 mid sized suit cases. The two problems I found though is that there is a blind spot behind you and when the sun is shining directly on the fuel gauge you cant see it at all. Other than that I highly recommend it

Nostalgia Strikes - 2009 Nissan 370Z
By GAR - July 11 - 7:56 pmI owned 72 240Z and my wife had a 280ZX. I have several similar cars over the years. When I first drove 370Z I was reminded powerfully of my 240. This is a drivers car. You dont step into it but instead you wear it. You feel the road in your hands and the seat of your pants. You hear the roar of the road and judge its condition from the sound. The sport package makes the handling even more precise. The car seems to go where you want it too by thought control. This car demands your full attention but you are rewarded with an exciting driving experience that makes any trip even the daily commute fun. If you want a 2-seater sports car the Nissan 370Z deserves your serious consideration.
