Nissan has updated the 370Z for 2018

'Old' and 'good value' are two labels that spring to mind when describing Nissan's 370Z. Although it first arrived at dealers in 2009, an on-the-road starting price of £29,185 for a V6-powered coupé with rear-wheel drive is quite a bargain.

A few cosmetic changes will help the 370Z soldier on into 2018. The headlights and rear light clusters have gained a dark tint, the 19” alloy wheels are redesigned and a black finish has been applied to the door handles and the panel between the exhausts.

Unaltered is the 3.7 litre engine which produces 323 bhp (241 kW / 328 PS) with 363 Nm (267 lb/ft) of peak torque.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
