2005 Nissan 350Z Base Review
ProsGreat power to weight ratio, 287 HP made this car move fast!, comfortable and supportive front seats, controls/switchgear were straight forward and easy to use, decent trunk space for a sportscar due to the hatchback design, short throws on the 6 speed shifter. Good brakes. Exhaust note from heaven! ConsCheap interior plastics, 6 speed shifter bolted DIRECTLY onto transmission and made for firmer shift effort + shifter always vibrated, so-so radio, no sunroof, no traction or stability control on Base Model, stability strut in the rear gobbled up trunk space, standard halogen lights aren't bright enough + no fog lights either 
3,495
For $25k ...a Good Performing Sportscar With Decent Amenities — While Nissan definitely cut a few corners to keep the 2005 350Z's price down, it was and is a beautiful car that goes fast and handles well. Power is there all throughout ..definitely not a slouch at low RPM's. Nice utility with hatchback, although the rear strut brace takes up a fair amount of space. Output from the standard halogens is sub-par though. Have to step up to the Enthusiast or Performance models to get Stability and Traction Control. Only real problem I had was a strange coolant leak that seemed come out of nowhere..other than that no real issues. Overall, a great performing and handling sportscar with the moves to match its exotic looks! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

A Car That Doesnt Get Old Driving, Ya Just Want To Keep Coming Back For More. — this is truely an amazing car. as soon as you climb into it, you have this sensation knowing you are in a true sports car. the sleek interior allows for complete fuctionallity for the driver. plenty of foot room, for even the biggest of passengers. the sheer power of the engine is well rounded, just to tap on the gas is enough to feel the car come to life. with adding a cold air intake it just goads to drive harder over 4000 rpms. its not hard to bring this car into to triple digits speeds without hardly realizing it. The Suspension is truely responsive stock. no doubt you can attack any corner with having minimal body roll. it may not be the fastest down the straight away but when it comes to cornering, this car will have them beat. styling for this car is one to truely stand out. no joke to get heads turning as i drive along in my Z. the aerodynamics of this car very much so take away that wind pushing you along the road, you actually feel how you are cutting through the air, a sheer sense you own the road. as for gas mileage what can you expect from a sports car. im certainly happy with what i get. i run premium quality gasoline through this car only. in town i seem to average 14-16 mpg and 24 once out on the open road. not bad for stock standards. im sure with a few minor tweeks and addons i would be able to inprove this. now im no mechanic bu i certainly know my way around an engine bay, but compared to many newer cars where they have just as much electronics running the engine as they do mechanics. this one is certainly much easier to work around. engine is quite compact and easy to see whats going on. this car is fun to drive. very comfortable as a daily driver, yet sporty enough to feel like you are in control of the road. if you ever get a chance, take a test drive, see what you are missing. even if you get a chance to just cruise along in one. definately one car to check out. | ||

350z — It's actually my dad's car but anyways... The car is abosolutely fantastic on acceleration as a 6 speed, you really get a good drive out of this car. The car is topped out from the dealership so it has all the performance body parts. It sold for about $45k which is decently priced. Absolutely love this car, took it on prom and it got countless looks all day/night. | ||

2005 Nissan 350Z Touring Roadster Review
ProsVery fun fast car to drive. Very good torque on the vehicle. Rides smooth and handles pretty good. ConsOn convertible the corners rip very easily upon opening and closing. Because it is a rear wheel drive it tends to fish tail when it is raining. Not comfortable on long drives.
25
Fun Fast Exhilerating — The car is great fun ride but definitely not gas friendly. Avg 100 gal for every 20 dollars. Very stylish and a nice smooth ride. Although its definitely not a road trip type of vehicle to use unless you want to make several stops to stretch because it is a stiff ride. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Not Too Bad Of A Car Overall — Not too shabby overall as long as you dont have a family. I like it cause it gets a lot of attention. Havent had a single thing wrong maintenance wise. It gets kinda squiggly around corners if going too quick Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

2005 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Review
ProsIt's and excellent/fun car to drive and have, comfortable, fast, right to the point!!! A blast! ConsNone that I know of!

It's A Neck Twister! — Perfomance- Acceleration is a blast, not the Brembo brakes so braking takes a little more than prefered, handling is excellent but would go more for s2000 rail type handling. Build quality- Has never needed any repairs up to date, regular brake pads, oil, serpentine belts and tire maintenance. Appearance- The car looks beautiful and speaks for itself, once you get in the interior trim is not as comperable to the exterior. Cost os ownership- I get about 22mpg city and 27 hwy, $40 oil change!!! Fun Factor- Hehe :-) Only comment! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Greatest Import Under 50k — This is by far the creme of the crop when it comes to imports. The only downside is the fact that every single aftermarket part costs about twice as much that a similar part for an eclipse, civic, etc. If you have never driven a z33 (350z) I suggest you do by all means necessary it is by far the most fun you will have behind the wheel of a car!!
