Worth knowing
- Much of the chassis carries over from the 370Z, so it feels less polished than newer rivals. Early prices were inflated by dealer markups.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for higher running costs: summer performance tires cost about $700 to $1,200 a set and wear quickly, and brakes cost more than on a regular car.
- It requires premium fuel.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Performance: it adds a limited-slip differential, bigger brakes, 19-inch wheels, heated power seats and Bose audio over the Sport, with the same twin-turbo V6.
