Nissan 370Z NISMO 2017 review
- Price N/A
What we like
- Old-school charm by the bagful
- Nismo makeover adds plenty of style kit, too
- The cheapest way into a performance Nismo by a country mile
What we don't
- Bad road surfaces get very noisy
- A tendency to track road imperfections
- Safety stuff underwhelming
Good news! The first affordable performance Nissan in years has finally landed in Australia. Not-so-good news! It’s pretty much the same car as the last affordable performance Nissan.
Yep, Nissan’s 370Z has received a performance makeover, and is now the second Nismo-stamped model in the line-up (below the ballistic GT-R that arrived earlier this year) - breathing new life into the brand’s two-seater that went on sale way back in 2009.
More power, better dynamics and enough Nismo branded accessories to fuel a new The Fast and the Furious movie headline the changes inside and out, but is that enough to focus the spotlight back on Nissan’s iconic Zed car?
Verdict
The Nismo makeover doesn't just afford the 370Z a new lease on life, it also adds a much-needed model to the performance sub-brand's line-up in Australia. And while the 370Z Nismo can be raw, loud and heavy at times, it's also constantly engaging as a result.
Does this Nismo upgrade put Nissan's 370Z on your sports car radar? Tell is what you think in the comments below.
