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 3 out of 5 Running costs It’s not cheap to run. Road tax and fuel costs will be high and parts such as tyres and brake pads won't be cheap either. On the plus side, Nissan servicing is good value, although the dealers don't have as good a reputation for customer satisfaction as other Japanese manufacturers.
