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.

You’re not going to save the planet driving a 370Z. It emits 249g/km of CO2, making it expensive to tax, while averaging just 27mpg. Choosing the automatic sees this improve slightly with CO2 emissions of 254g/km and similar fuel consumption.

Nissan has an excellent reputation for reliability and the 370Z’s predecessor, the 350Z, was never the subject of a recall – a sure sign of durability. The engine in the 370Z is a development of that in the 350Z so it should prove extremely reliable.
