TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Nissan 370Z has a classic sports-car shape, excellent sports-car handling, and a tuned Nismo track weapon in its lineup.

The 2017 Subaru BRZ is a great-handling sports car with big value for the dollar; it's just not very fast.

TCC Likes

In base trims, can be a good value
Rev-matching downshifts feel heroic
Strong pull from V-6

Classic sports-car look
Lean, balanced driving feel
Standard nav system and rear camera

TCC Dislikes

Small cabin
Not much cargo room
Engine and tire noise

Hard seats
Busy, noisy ride
Narrow cargo opening and small trunk
