2010 nissan 370z review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Convertible joins redesigned lineup. introductionthe nissan 370z fits between more expensive sports cars like the porsche boxster/cayman and less expensive, less powerful cars like the mazda miata. The redesigned version sports a shorter wheelbase and all-new styling inside and out. For 2010, the convertible version gets the same treatment. With the shortened body came increased torsional rigidity, which results in a greater feeling of agreement from all parts of the chassis. It now feels agile rather than brutal, supple rather than rigid, and it is easier to drive as a result. Quick, responsive steering also helps. the roadster is sturdier than most open-top competitors, but isn't as solid and controlled as the coupe. the 370z is fast. The 3. 7-liter v6 can motivate the car from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 5. 2 seconds. Power is readily available across all rev ranges, but the v6 can sound somewhat gruff during hard acceleration. We like the new synchrorev feature available with the six-speed manual transmission. It blips the throttle during downshifts to match revs and keep the car from getting upset during performance driving. The responsive seven-speed automatic transmission also has a rev matching feature, and it comes with steering wheel shift paddles for those who want to exercise more control. the new generation z is much improved on the inside over the pre-2009 models. The materials are much richer looking and the design escapes the low-rent effect of the old 350z. The coupe has a modest but usable rear cargo area under the hatch, while the convertible has a small trunk sized for a couple of duffle bags at best. we did find a couple of minor drawbacks. The roadster suffers from wind noise when the top is down. the nismo model introduced for 2010 is best for track use. It has more performance features but has a very hard ride and is considerably louder than the standard versions. fast, agile and with a civilized interior, the 370z is one of the best performance values on the market. lineupthe 2010 nissan 370z is offered in two body styles, coupe and convertible, and three models. The 370z base models come with a 3. 7-liter v6 that makes 332 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. The nismo has a 350-horsepower version of the same engine. The convertible adds ventilated seats while the hatchback gets a rear cargo cover. the 370z nismo model has several modifications in the interest of performance. It comes only with the six-speed manual transmission with nissan's synchrorev rev match feature, as well a viscous limited-slip differential, lightweight rays forged aluminum wheels with p245/40yr19 front and p285/35yr19 rear yokohama advan sport tires, nissan sport brakes, nismo-brand front strut brace, and firmer dampers, springs and stabilizer bars. The exterior gets a different nose with an integrated chin spoiler, special side sills, a unique rear bumper, and a taller, functional rear spoiler. Inside, it will have red leather seats and door panel inserts, anniversary seatback and floormat embroidery, a plaque of authenticity, and red stitching on the center stack, shift boot and knee pads. 40th anniversary models come with a commemorative satin car cover. options are limited. The system includes real-time traffic information from xm navtraffic, which requires a paid subscription. Also bundled in this option is a 9. 3 gig music box hard drive and interface system for ipods and other mp3 players. the sport package for the coupe 3,000) and convertible 2,800) adds 19-inch forged lightweight aluminum-alloy rays wheels fitted with bridgestone potenza re050a high-performance radials. Spoilers are fitted fore and aft, which help to lower the coupe's drag coefficient from 0. 29 to 0. 28. The coupe also has curtain side airbags for head protection. Active head restraints are fitted to both body styles, as is a tire-pressure monitor. Active safety features include anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake distribution, traction control, and electronic stability control. walkaroundthe current generation of the z is almost three inches shorter and 1. 3 inches wider than the pre-2009 models. Front overhang is perhaps still a little long, but it is in the best interests of efficient aerodynamics. Vertical bars in the front grille opening make the car look a little like a feeding manta ray. We think the front end has a definite aftermarket look, kinda like it was designed by need for speed video game players. although it's not immediately obvious, one of the most telling aspects of the new design is that the doors, rear hatch and hood are all made from aluminum, obviously in the quest for lower weight. Although the hood of the previous z was aluminum, it used steel supports. As a gesture of respect to the designers of the first z-car, the base line of the coupe's rear quarter window sweeps up just as it did on the original 1970 datsun 240z. We think that little nod to history has been skillfully adapted. In more modern vein, the front and rear lights are hooked or boomerang-shaped for improved visual effect, and they're quite unlike the symmetrical shapes found on the preceding model. Attractive z-badged turn signal markers fill the void between the front wheels and the front-door shut line. the convertible is a two-seat roadster with a power cloth top. Nissan knew early in the design process that a convertible would join the lineup, so the convertible top looks to be better integrated this time around. With the top up, the body silhouette looks more natural and less awkward than it did on the 350z. The roadster comes standard with a black top, and a bordeaux (maroon) top is optional.
