Overview

The 2011 Nissan 370Z Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $31,450. For that price, it mainly competes with the more expensive Audi TT S. Buyers also can consider Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 and the Chevrolet Camaro from the midsize coupe segment Between 2 trims, the 370Z offers just one powertrain. It is a 3.7L V6 engine making 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed automatic transmission. The 370Z coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.1 seconds and can manage a combined fuel economy of 21 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the 370Z comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Between the 2 trims offered, the Touring trim holds the most value, as it includes opulence to the cabin by adding features such as power seat adjustments, faux suede upholstery, heated seats, Bose sound system with six speakers, and so forth to increase the comfort and convenience levels.
