The base model of the 350Z is the most economical version of the vehicle, although it still comes well-equipped, coming standard with power windows, locks, and mirrors; keyless remote entry; and a leather steering wheel and shifter knob. The engine is the same across all 2003 350Zs, a 3.5-liter, 287-horsepower V6.

Drivers love the way their 350Zs look and handle, but many have had problems with excessive front tire wear, and other find the car is too low to the ground.
