2008 Nissan 350Z Coupe Enthusiast

Pros

Super Performance, Great looks

Cons

Loves high test, Can't drive in winter

Purchased As New

My second "Z". This one is a winner. Car is awesome, couldn't ask for a better performance vehicle. Could use a more all weather tire as OEM shoes just don't work well up here in the NORTH. during winter months. Don't expect a marshmellow ride, its a "Z", but if you want to drive a true sports car, for the cost its as close as you'll get. Nissan builds a heck of a car. Everything works just like its suppose to !...read morehide

Pros

Highest style ride with value to match

Cons

Don't plan on this being your winter ride

I also added a nice custom sound system with Nav / DvD. I get up 26 mpg highway and will conservatively speand about $1500 in the Spring for new rims & tires to style it out a little more.

Pros

Excellent handling, FUN to drive!

Excellent car, worth every penny. Handling is amazing, drive is comfortable. Only downside is the small trunk.

Pros

love the car

Cons

front end tire wear niose

looks &style of car is sweet great power fun car to drive i think there should of been a better stero system put in this car

Pros

Best sounding V6 ever!, good fuel ecomony, powerful,

Cons

lizard styling that looks like a iguana. fast tire wear, soft brakes, vehicle Price at $32000!

I have a silver 05 350z auto coupe. I could not afford an o8 due to the high price over $32,000. The 3.5L engine is very strong and sounds beautiful. It really stand out in traffic, but all the 350zs look the same. I have upgraded the intake with K&N typhoon and an 3 inch catback. The car runs stronger and sounds so much better. The cons of the car are it looks like a chic's car, iguana styling, front tire wear fast, brake fade, and overall manufacture's price tag. The interior is very plain with aluminum plastic trim....read morehide

Pros

Very handsome design. I have a 5 year old Z and still don't feel out of style. still got headturns

Cons

tires are expensive and do not last long. front tires wears out unevenly

i love this car a lot, eventhough it has some minuses. the engine is consumming oil every thousand miles. Great car overall. great car for the money. I actually paid more for my 300zx 20 years ago.

Pros

60 to 100 in no time, fits everywhere, responds super quickly to every move, great stereo system

Cons

makes you want to flip cops and start a chase

I travel for a living and I get to test pretty much any car you see out there for under 100k; from jags to coupe caddies, vettes, etc... and this is "THE ONE"... I get it (rent) every time I can and as other comments have said, it's very low to the ground so you will feel the bumps (not a good thing if you have a bad back), it may even give you a "sea sickness" feel after a few days if you ride it hard all the time because of the constant "pulling" feel, it's the only car I've gotten to do three full doughnuts on a regular street crossing, the other ones tend to lose control or go all over the place after half turn (and I stopped because i coulnd't see because of the tire smoke)
Gas mileage is way good for what you get in return; head turning? I won't say so but not too many people out there will not respect you. Girls love it, specially the convertible kind which seems to have a better engine sound because of the structure of the car.
Not too much trunk space, enough for a carry on and a backpack, if you're picking somebody up at the airport, make sure to ask if they have more than 2 pieces of luggage... or they will have to carry it on their lap...
Sound system is very good, I won't change it unless I wanted it to last forever. Engine noise it's not as loud as a Lambo, but it's a great sound when you turn it on and you know what the car is capable of. Controls are user friendly, etc, etc, etc.
If you are looking to dress it up: some smoke lens covers, window tinting, and maybe a classy spoiler will do the trick. Plenty of places to get accesories for this. I could go on and on about it but you won't know what any of us is talking about until you get in one... don't worry when you step on it the first time and the car tries to do something not expected, this is probably because you have never ridden a bullet...
CONS: if you have a bad back you will feel the pain, as other people mentioned, watch your speed!!! wait, it's that a con? getting in and out of it: you have to get the hand of it, doors are fine, I don'tknow why people complain about that... talking to the passanger: you don't want that, you just want to ride... if you're the passanger: shut up and hold on to the leather... don't go for a hard ride after eating... don't ride it hard all the time or you will feel motion sickness to the point where you won't want to go anywhere... if you don't believe this one I implore you to try it for about 3 to 4 days... you'll remember being warned... Not the car for very long drives (more than 12 straight hours) but still very comfy for anything else, cannot be turned into a weekend car :o)
cannot be used to impress your girlfriend's mom... but definetly her dad's... The guys who have wrote bad reviews because they rented one for 3 or 4 days don't know what they're talking about... I have rented probably about 30 of this babies for periods of up to a month at the time and based on the way I beat them up (pretty bad, 100% of the time) I consider this kind of car the strongest and most durable one I have ridden....read morehide

Pros

Brakes, Handling and Engine

Cons

Poor interior design and cheap materials. Poor build quality.

I had one through a rental company for one week. It was for the most part fun, but I was glad to turn it in at the end of the rental. The interior quality was poor. The interior design seemed to be tailored after easy assembly. Rattles and noises can be heard at every bump. Doesn't feel solid.

I liked the strong engine, brakes and handling. I would definitely categorize this as a weekend car, since I wouldn't want to sit in this in my daily commutes. It would be fun to drive around for about 1 hour every few weeks....read morehide

Pros

I love my Z great on gas long distnce. I get so many compliments

Cons

Horrible in the snow. Can't be driven.. need sunroof

For a sports car its very affordable...I love the sound of the engine!!! I have driven it 2x to NC..and I loved the experience...

Pros

Handles better than cars at twice the price. Great lines. Good finish and detail.

Cons

The only drawback to this car would be having to purchase premium fuel.

This car is a joy to drive. It will put a smile on your face every time you get in it. Make sure your wife doesn't have her own keys.
