The Nissan 370Z Nismo Is Outdated and Overpriced 

Thank you Doug for talking shit about this car, now prices will drop and I will pick one up for the low

Always makes me laugh whenever he rents someone's car on Turo just to roast the fuck out of it.

I went on a date with Doug when I was younger and at the end of the night he gave me a dougscore. 3/10😭

I like how he’s roasting the car while his comment section is saying he dresses like it’s laundry day

Rent your car out to Doug and watch it depreciate

I always thought Doug looked good for 45. He’s 31.

Doug suffered from not having an owner available for this video. I am a huge Doug fan, watching all his videos. However, I had a Z back in 2010 (and it was fairly outdated then) and went down the rabbit hole for the few years I had it. I modified it to address some of the gripes he mentioned. However, there are some big misses here, that are just because he didn’t do enough research before creating this video. My main issues are as follows: - The “effects” setting involves the animation and “gauge swing” when starting the car. - The tire reminder is worthwhile, because I typically got 3-5K miles out of a rear set, before they started slipping in even mild rain and required replacement - The “key slot” is not to store your key. The keyless entry is optional (or was at one time) so the slot is where you inserted the key to start it. Even if you had the option (I did, mine was a loaded sport touring), it was still valuable because the slot charged the key batteries - the visor extender was still useful when facing forward as it can slide behind the rear view mirror. - The blank switches on the center console are for the heated seats (ventilated as well on the convertible) and yes, convertible top. The Recaro seats in the NISMO aren’t available with heating, ergo they are blanked out. Most Zs do have the heated seats. - The red light in the center of the diffuser is a rear fog light in international markets. I agree it looks much better installed and is available as a brake light aftermarket. - There is a spare tire in the Z. The subwoofer is actually clever packaging and sits in the upside down spare. If Doug had dug a little deeper, removing the black styrofoam around the sub, he would’ve realized the sub was just sitting in the wheel and there is indeed a spare, hence the very shallow load floor. Overall, I agree the Z is horribly outdated, but when I bought mine, it was much smaller and more nimble than a mustang, but with far more power than a Miata, S2000 or MR2. It bridged a gap between sport roadster and muscle car, that the other didn’t do, though perhaps it did neither well. Regardless, I enjoyed mine years ago, and it’s sad that it’s exactly the same today. I found it funny that mine was a 40th Anniversary Edition from 2010, and the 50th Anniversary Edition was still the same, virtually untouched model. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I remember how awesome these looked when they came out, and 10 years later, they still don't look terribly outdated compared to brand new cars. nissan did well and I'm not even a fanboy

Doug is the type of guy to break into your car just to read the owners manual.

Imagine being on Turo "wow doug is renting my car how cool" **checks youtube next day and sees "this red piece of crap car 370z is outdated and crappy!" oh boy

Better looking than 99% of the other cars on the road, handles like a beast, reliable to beat on every single damn day...

The car owner when Dough changed all the settings: -_-

me: wow finally, a nissan Z video Doug: ~the 370z is outdated and overpriced~

"lets put manual adjusting buckets in for weight reduction" *20 layers of trunk carpet later*

People complain about 370z being outdated, but when Nissan stopped making it everybody complained that "nobody makes true raw sports cars anymore!"

I don't think looking a bit outdated is a bad thing here. I think It's why this looks better than the vast majority of new cars

Doug the type of guy to break into his neighbors car just to see the quirks and features.

Doug: man this V6 does not sound as good as a V8... Everyone: Well ya cause it's not a V8

Unless you’re a Z fanboy this car is unacceptable for the cost. Bottom line.

6:56 Roger in the studio with traffic proceeds to say “there’s a Nissan 370Z heading down the interstate at 5mph causing a *massive* backup!”

People: complain about a sportscar being on sale for 10 years. Manufacturer: we'll cancel sportscar and make SUV People: *Surprised pikachu*

READS TITLE *several people are typing...*

I like having my clock a few minutes ahead. So that when I pull in at work, the clock is showing approximately what time I'll be inside. Helpful for letting me know I'm late 😄

“Outdated” isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For example hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated power, manual transmission option. Honestly the styling still looks great. I understand it’s not exactly worth it paying 40-50k for a car that’s 10 years old. But I think the car still looks relative and besides being slightly low on power, I think it’s still a very enticing package. I used to live next to a tuning shop that specialized in these v6 engines (350/370z, Infiniti’s) and with a simple turbo kit, they were pushing close to 500 to the wheels. Some were in the 600’s. Basically a Nissan GT-R but rear wheel drive and stick shift.

girl: so tell me, what is your favorite color? Doug: traffic emphasis

Doug is the type of guy who would review the women he dates. “Too many quirks; not enough features.”

13:55 Doug smashes tf out of his finger and plays it off

I've had 5 Z cars and the 2016 Nismo is my latest. Let me tell you, this car rocks. It's perfect. It's beautiful and this car is fast enough and priced right for what you get in a Z. I absolutely love it.

"What kind of effects are we talking about here?". "Well I don't know". 🤣🤣

Doug is the type of guy that would give his wife a Doug score

Setting my wristwatch to +5 mins saved me many many times.

That key slot isn't for storage, you put the key in there in case the key fob battery dies. It senses the key and turns on the car. Also this is not a fully loaded version of the car. It comes with a touch screen if you get that option. But like usual Doug does minimal research and then makes up stuff about how things work.

What color are those pants? Doug: Well, they're my favorite color, Traffic Emphasis.

Doug the type of guy to lick his fingers when turning the page on an iPad

“Finally, a Doug review on my car!” Oh

Traffic emphasis has always been my favorite color

Doug is the type of guy to review an Automatic 370Z Nismo and give it a 6 on Fun Factor

Doug demuro favorite colors 2019 CONFIRMED: Purple Traffic emphasis Cool

Everything he says is old and outdated about this car is what makes me want to buy it.

Outdated is what makes this car appealing. No tech overload or gimmickry, just a sports car.

It's time for a new Z and a new GTR. Been time for about 5 years now. Nissan getting lazy.

Doug the news anchor: an asteroid will soon impact Earth, for more visit autotrader/oversteer.

There is a spare tire there. You need to remove the subwoofer by unscrewing the center. If you look there is a jack and tool set here. Remove the foam covers and you have your spare.

"The market has shifted away from sports cars" *Civic Type R sells out in one day in Canada*

“It’s smaller.. so it feels a little bit smaller.” -Doug

I bet you, Nissan does not even know they still make and sell this car...

“what kinda effect are we talking about here?😏 well, idk...”

LITERALLY has been my dream car that is actually obtainable since I was a kid and always will be.

My boy Doug out here lookin like he bout to go grill some hot dogs on a camping trip with his 2 kids

I've always set my clocks 5 minutes faster to avoid being late for things. But I always end up subtracting 5 from the displayed time and am late regardless.

In case you all were still wondering: The "effects" option in the LCD is for the gauge needle dance when you turn the car on.

Old car but still looks very good and modern. Can't imagine it is from 2009

He shittin on this Z like Nissan owes him money for a previous review lol

the nismo is a good deal when it's depreciated and you can pick it up on autotrader

playing weather meteorologist is my favorite thing to do in my z

7:05 that's why I love this car so much

When Doug starts reviewing your car.... * Gulping intensifies *

this man is literally flying out to review a cool car and reviewing a cool rental car before hand.

The vvel tech is actually still pretty cool tech. It’s a fantastic engine. The car is def over priced, and you didn’t note the nismo exhaust is different. Also, the 7at with the rev matching downshifting.

The dash looks like it’s from the 1990’s.

Guy who owns car: Aw sweet Doug Demuro did a video with my car! Doug: this car is severely outdated and blows chunks. It does have a cool lock near the trunk release though. Guy: **Hangs himself on his ceiling fan**

I'd buy it used. Looks amazing and I don't care for technology. Give me an aux cord and speakers and I'm happy

Doug bagging on the VVEL on an engine cover in a NA V6 from 2017. Meanwhile Honda’s VTEC is plastered on every side of their cars for almost 30 years.

I always thought it was outdated but after driving it, it feels refined and the interior has its own charm

Doug the type of guy to go on Turo instead of Tinder

Everyone gonna just ignore the fact that Doug would be the best weatherman ever?

I love "Doug, the type of guy who..." comments. Crack me up every time

6:41 I think Doug was a weather reporter before youtube.

That "fourth brake light" down there is rear-foglight, mandatory in Europe.

Doug the type of guy to shift to 6 gear shift back to fifth and shift to 6 again Just to make sure it shifted

Shall be interesting to get Doug's score on the new 400Z!

I can't stop playing that cargo floor thing over and over again😂😂😂😂

Doug, the type of guy to rent your car using Turo and then proceed to make a 20 minute long video criticizing it.

Some non car person probably saw the Nissan GT-R and was like wow that’s nice and went to the dealership and accidentally bought this

That red reflector on the rear bumper is likely the location of the rear fog light. Rear fog lights aren't mandated in the usa so they probably just placed a reflector there

All of my clocks around me are 4-6 min fast. You forget about it fast and have few minutes spared in case you need. Works for me perfect and even my kids are used to it now. It’s like having extra few liters, when your tank shows empty, but much more often needed.

THIS is a 2019 Doug DeMuro, and he is pretty good.

Doug the type of guy to give quirks and features about weather.

Doug really did the Z boys dirty with this one. He could have taken a “used sports car” approach but he saw it as a new car. Nobody buy this new so this approach that he took really is impractical. If you look up 370Zs on the used car market. It really has it all. Price, performance, look. At 20k 370z is a good deal if you don’t want a brz that’s too slow.

Got a 2020 sports touring certified $30k 1500 miles. Has more than the nismo minus the HP increase. Better seats, the 3 buttons are for heated seats and trunk release. Love the Z . Fun and fast. I do miss the blind spot detection but $8 blind spot mirrors work just as well without the beeps. It’s a hell of a car and the 400z comes out soon. If you can find a sport or sport touring in your price range grab it. I would stay away from the base model unless you are going to to tear it apart anyway to make it a drift car.

The 3 gauges on the middle of the dash are a throwback to previous z generations. My 280zx has oil pressure, voltage and a clock

I painted my house Traffic Emphasis. That's how much I love it.

i be falling asleep to doug’s vids 😭

When it's gone all the crabbers will be saying, "Remember the 370Z? That car was basic but so cool..."

I always wonder if someday Doug will get enough subscribers that he will be able to stop dressing like it's laundry day?

Key slot next to the steering wheel is to be used when the key fob battery is dead and the car cannot detect it for start up ✅

There is a spare time, it surrounds the subwoofer, you can see it in the video. And the infotainment system is a touch screen, at least it is on my 2016 Sport Touring 370Z

I like the traditional style gauge clusters

Outdated and overpriced describes 95% of the Nissan line-up.

Doug's the type of guy to use turn signals on a race track.

I like a good harsh review, helps Nissan get on their game. 👍🏾

I know this video is a year old, but I just wanted to let you know that the “effects” setting is to turn on and off the gauge sweep on startup

I want nissan to introduce a new super-sick-turbo-sports-car for a good price so these 370s drop to 350 prices lol

The secret of the "Effects" option solved. Quick Google revealed the following from the 370Z owners manual. EFFECTS Select this menu to set the dial effects described below to on or off. - The indicator needles sweep in the meters when the engine is started.

I personally do it so I’m always on time. Works well for me.

To be fair. the five minutes ahead thing is so that when you look at the clock, you forget that it's five minutes ahead and take it at face value, so you show up early to things. Like how people do it on their watches for that quick glance.

Every single person on planet Earth: The Z is in desperate need of an update. Nissan: No...

Could be worse.. look at the Nissan Frontier, they haven’t changed it since 2005 lmao

Science teacher - what effects are we talking? Doug- I don't know

I’ll be honest I love the exterior and think the interior is alright
