Nissan 370Z Roadster (10 on) - Review Review by Tim Bowdler on 26 March 2010 The 370Z Roadster delivers brutal performance, engaging handling and - as such - you could argue Nissan has managed to achieve a rare feat, which is to produce a sports car that hasn’t been compromised by the absence of a fixed roof. The 370Z drop top is almost a blast from the past: it’s like a good old-fashioned sports car built to put a smile on your face and the wind in your hair. You couldn't call it agricultural though. It features a range of sophisticated and advanced safety systems and the Synchro Rev Control system that keeps the engine revs at their optimum between gear shifts - a sort of automatic heel-and-toe - is particularly effective. In terms of performance it competes with top-end models like the Porsche Boxster, but it represents far better value for money and comes very well equipped too. 4.5 out of 5 Other Nissan reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £32,080 - £38,375 View all new prices Used price range: £17,618 - £28,193 View all used prices See 5 new models for sale from £27,451 Get a Nissan 370Z Roadster (10 on) information pack Next steps Nissan 370Z Roadster cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
