nissan z 2023 review

The 2023 Nissan Z is a proper return to form: long bonnet, short tail, and a twin-turbo V6 that actually shoves. In Australia it packs a 3.0‑litre twin‑turbo V6 with ~298 kW and 475 Nm, driving the rear wheels via a 6‑speed manual or 9‑speed auto, and it feels every bit the modern classic. The steering’s tidy, the brakes are stout, and the chassis has just enough old‑school attitude to keep you honest on a B‑road. Inside you get supportive buckets, a clear digital cluster and phone mirroring, though cabin storage and visibility are more “weekend toy” than daily hero.

Ride quality is firm but liveable; tyres can drone on coarse Aussie chip. New examples landed around the low‑to‑mid AUD $70k before on‑roads, with used 2023 cars roughly $65k–$90k depending on kilometres and colour drama. If you need a back seat, buy something else; if you want theatre per kilometre, this is cracking value. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
