How it scores for you10 scores
A 400-hp twin-turbo manual coupe at a working-hero price; the trade is a snug two-seat cabin, firm ride, and carryover-era refinement.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 2 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 10% of cars we track.
6.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 20% of other coupes we track.
Strictly two seats and a snug cockpit; cargo room is weekend-bag sized.
400 turbocharged hp, rear drive, and a proper manual make it a riot; the chassis is playful if less precise than the class best.
12.3-inch digital cluster and modern infotainment, but plenty of carryover 370Z hardware beneath.
Firm ride and noticeable road noise; fine as a weekend GT, tiring as a daily.
Typical resale value for a coupe.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
