Professional Reviews

• “The manual gearbox shifter is delightful to use. It has short, easy throws and the clutch works well with it.” — Carpoint.com
• “...the car has a power-to-weight ratio of about one horsepower for every 11.1 pounds. For reference, this is roughly the same ratio that Mustang GTs and Chevy Camaro Z28s have.” — Edmunds.com
• “The Z is agile, limber yet sure-footed thanks to its 18-inch radials, tuned sports suspension and speed-sensitive power steering system that requires just the right driver-in-control effort into and out of corners and sharp twists in the road.” — Cars.com
• “The three-year tease by Nissan is over. Since the company first hinted it might build a new Z car, we've been anticipating our first turn at the wheel much like Cinderella eyed the ball.” — AutoWeek
• “The steering felt precise and communicative, exhibiting a nice on-center feel.” — Road & Track
• “Plant the throttle, let the tach swing north and the Z shoves you back in the seat.” — Edmunds.com
• “...even the competition-style Track trim costs much less than rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz SLK, which begins at $39,400, and the Porsche Boxster, which starts at $42,600.” — Carpoint.com
• “There's no glove box and the two small storage bins behind the supportive seats are hard to reach.” — Carpoint.com
• “Power delivery is linear and athletic, with the most fun coming on around 4,000 rpm. Redline is 6,600.” — Edmunds.com
