Nissan 370Z dimensions

Cheap high-performance sports vehicles don't get any better than the 2012 Nissan 370Z. Nissan 370Z Convertible offers the following pros: Impressive handling and braking; nifty rev-matching manual transmission; comprehensive V6; compliant highway ride; luxury interior; relatively low price tag. Nissan 370Z Convertible drawbacks are: Too much road noise; V6 sounds coarse at high rpm; large back blind spots.

The 2012 Nissan 370Z is provided in two-seat coupe and soft-top convertible body styles. The coupe is available in base, Touring and Nismo versions, while the convertible (a. Roadster) comes in base and Touring only.

Traditional features for the entry-level Nissan 370Z coupe include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic bi-xenon headlights, heated outside mirrors, keyless ignition/entry, cruise control, automatic conditioning, an eight-way manual driver bench, a tilt-adjustable leather-wrapped helm, cloth upholstery and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and an optional stereo slot.

Moving up to the Touring coupe gets you leather and faux suede upholstery, heated four-way performance seatings (includes four-way driver lumbar adjustment), an auto-dimming rearview mirror, trunk space cover, Bluetooth phone connectivity and an eight-speaker Bose audio system with an in-dash Six-cd changer and radio. The Nismo coupe adds 19-inch forged aluminum wheels and high-performance tires, stiffer suspension tuning, updated brakes, a limited-slip back differential and a more comprehensive V6, plus original front and back fascias, a larger back wing and special Nismo dashboard trim details.

The Nissan 370Z Roadster comes traditional with a power-operated soft top, but is otherwise equipped similarly to the coupe. Likewise for the Roadster Touring model with the addition of heated and ventilated performance seatings.

Coupe and Roadster Touring consumers looking for more performance can add an auxillary Sport suite that contains 19-inch wheels, a limited-slip back differential, updated brakes, front and back spoilers and the Synchrorev Match option for manual-transmission-equipped vehicles. Touring models can also be fitted with a navigator with a touchscreen interface, real-time traffic and weather upgrades, voice controls, digital audio cargo, Bluetooth stereo streaming, an Ipod interface and a rearview camera. .
