    Nissan Z

    EPA MPG: 21 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There is 1 recall on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The Nissan Z is a focused and capable sports car. The current model is shorter and lighter than the one it replaced and has much better interior fit and finish. The Z is quick, agile and enjoyable to drive. Its V6 is muscular yet cultured and smooth. Shift action is a bit notchy, but crisp and positive in feel. Handling is very agile with direct steering and lots of cornering grip. The price to pay for the even better handling of the Sport package is a stiff and choppy ride that beats you up. Road and tire noise are constant and the two-seater cabin is cramped. Visibility takes a back seat as well. A convertible model is also available.
