TMR Austrailia 370z review

travisjb · 05-08-2009, 12:42 AM

"The new 370Z. It’s here, it’s as good as the hype suggests, it’s a blast at the wheel, and you can buy one now. And because I’m a lucky dog, I’ve driven it.

Lighter, shorter, lower and more powerful, the new Zed is a quantum advance over the out-going model. It is also blisteringly fast and superbly balanced. Almost everywhere you look at the new car, the shortcomings in the old have been addressed and improved.

On our first test drive through and beyond the Adelaide hills, we put it through its paces. Among the cold black hearts of the motoring press Nissan had assembled to pass judgment, the verdict was all-but unanimous - the new 370Z is a superb new contender in the sports coupe segment.

If you liked the old Zed, you will love the new one. And if your first experience of Zed-motoring is at the wheel of the 370, you’ll be asking yourself “how long has this been going on?”

So, where is it better (besides everywhere), and why will you like it?"

Was one of the first to test drive the 370Z here in australia last week. Very impressed by the instant throttle response, and the new 7 speed auto. Lightening quick of the line, love the blip throttle on the down shifts. Handles pretty well as well. ended up with an average of 18.1L/km on my 20 minute drive test drive!

That is exactly what I thought the first time I test drove one.
