2009 Nissan 370Z
Editors' rating: 4
The good: With responsive steering, a short wheelbase, and its SynchroRev Matching feature on the manual transmission, the 2009 Nissan 370Z is an excellent car for cornering. An impressive hard-drive-based navigation system with traffic and onboard music storage is available.
The bad: Without cabin tech options, the stereo doesn't even play MP3 CDs. The engine sound grates at high rpms, and the fuel economy is weak.
The bottom line: A two-seater, the 2009 Nissan 370Z works best as a weekend sport driver and track day car, or, with the cabin tech package, a grand tourer good for short road trips.

Price range: We don't have full pricing information for the 2009 Nissan 370Z at this point, but the car should base at about $29,000. Expect to add around $2,500 for the navigation and Bose audio system, and probably a similar amount for the Sport package.
