Nissan’s classic Z sportscar gets a significant redo for 2010, and the Roadster version sees the same changes. The engine is now a 332-hp 3.7-litre V6 with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. The car is actually smaller than the 350Z that spawned it, meaning a more nimble package. Coolest feature is the SynchroRev Match option that will automatically match the revs perfectly for downshifts when the clutch is depressed. Styling mimics the themes started on the Maxima, including the arrow-shaped headlights. The soft-top folds away quickly, leaving the cabin well protected from the elements.

 

Pros

Faster, lighter

Cons

Still expensive
