2016 Nissan 370Z Nismo:

For 2016 Nissan 370Z Nismo, the Bose audio feature has been offered as standard on all except the base trim level. Also the model has been equipped with added active sound enhancer and active noise control that has been borrowed from the Nissan GT-R.

The 2016 Nissan 370Z Nismo is known to be the latest in line of “Z” convertibles and coupes from the Nissan featuring the six-cylinder power and rear wheel drive. This latest generation debuted in 2009 and is known to be one of the oldest models on the market. The 370Z is still one of top tier athletes. It is has relatively affordable price and offers ample of value to the users. But then again cost effectiveness largely depends on the priorities of the users.

It is worth stating here that current Nissan 370Z has its focus mainly on the performance and handling rather than the cruising and performance. The vehicle also has surprisingly and well-appointed upscale cabin. There is not much cargo capacity offered by this model and the large tires and weak insulation lead to plenty of road noise when the car is at speed. But the 2016 Nissan 370Z is expected to be offered with minimized noise with added active sound enhancer (ASE) as well as active noise control (ANC) to all the models that are equipped with the Bose audio system. The company claims that ANC is to ensure the removal of low frequency engine noise without reducing the urgency of the 3.7-liter V6. ASE intends to make the sound of the engine sportier. Unrefined and harsh engine has been a complaint ever since the 370Z has been released. This is one of the unfortunate traits, which detract the users from strong motor.

The 2016 Nissan 370Z has no direct competitor in the market with two seats, as sports cars are mostly expensive. The 2016 Ford Mustang and 2016 Chevrolet Camaro competes with the 2016 Nissan 370Z on the V8 engines and price. Both these vehicles have larger footprints and they are not nimble around the turns. In case you are willing to save some cash, then Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ can be good alternatives offering a lot of value and fantastic handling. Then again it is worth mentioning that neither of these cars are as quick as 2016 Nissan 370Z. If you are willing to enjoy extra luxury with over all good performance, the Series 2 BMW will hit the spot in every manner.

In short, just like earlier generations, the 2016 Nissan 370Z is a niche sports car with various limitations. But it is expected to have its own value in its car segment.
