Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan 350Z Grand Touring

As a car guru and major enthusiast, my 350Z GT is by far the most incredible car I have owned (or even driven).  For some people the car is ugly, lacks any real styling, but until you have seen a Grand Touring, you haven't seen THE car.

You can buy a base 350Z relatively cheap, in the mid $20ks out the door, but I highly recommend you spend the extra $10k for the Track or Gran Touring model (Nissan discontinued the Track model in 2007).

What does the Grand Touring get you?
- 18"/19" Rays Forged Aluminum Wheels
- Brembo Braking System
- Bose Audio System
- Leather Seats (heated)
- Front/Rear Spoilers
- Other minor features

Wheels:  The wheels make the car, and add quite a bit to the cost of the GT upgrade.  They are light, and are the best stock wheels I have seen on a car.

Brembo Braking System:  Nothing really needs to be said; primary braking system of Formula 1 race car teams.

Bose Audio: The best sounding stock system I have ever heard in any car.

If you go rent a 350Z for a day, you will fall in love.  Please don't waste your time and get the automatic, that takes the fun factor out.  This car wants to slide around corners and be power shifted.

Pros — Performance, styling, driving experience
Cons — Cost of ownership

I love it, simply love it. It's hard to be in a bad mood when I get in to my car every day. The handling is great... build is great... sounds fantastic... it looks awesome. This car demands attention and gets it pretty easily. Jealousy is an ugly human trait. :S

Pros — It's mine.
Cons — It doesn't fit in my bedroom.

Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan 350Z Base

This car is good all around.  Not the best in straight line, cornering or fuel economy, but it's damn good in all of those categories.  Right now it sits at about 315 hp, i get 27 mpg on the freeway, it'll run mid 13's in the quarter, and it's pretty well balanced especially with the ride height adjustable coilovers.  The one category this car excels in is appearance.  The design on this car is a 10 as far as im concerned.  Initially i wasn't fond of them, but it just grew and grew on me, and especially with some mods, i think the Z's look great.  And are very affordable, i picked this one up in 2006 with 8k miles for 22,000 plus traded in the maxima ontop of that.  

Pros — Decent on Gas, pretty fast, sounds amazing, looks great, handles well
Cons — always could use more power, if nissan made this car about 200lbs lighter, and with 50 more hp stock (350hp) it would be perfect.

Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan 350Z Grand Touring

Best ( Real ) Sports car you can get for a ( Little ) $ !!!
2 Doors, 2 Seats, Solid engine, RWD, JDM = Fun !!!

350Z or Z33 from Nissan are one of the rare pure jdm sports car on the market still and even for 50K Can$ it's worth every penny of pure exictment.
Only for 35K US$ you got the same car full equip wich is the only down point I found cause difference between $US and $Can is like $0.02 and im Canadian...

Handling is superb, acceleration and exhaust note is to kill around 6K RPM ( Limit is 7500rpm on most ).
No limiter so as long as the engine can go faster it will go faster ( Approx max speed on stock and feel safe and stable ) is around 280 KM/H or 170 mph.
Out of the box good for drifting so you can practice a bit if not worry about cops or cost of new tire !

Well it's a driver's car and please take it standard no automatic it's a shame for a true sports car unless it got good paddle shifter.No cell, no coffe, no eating !
JUST DRIVE AND ENJOY !

Pros — Performence, Reliability, Cost, Appearence
Cons — no back seats, not conveniant

Quite ok to drive. Did not cause any exitement, but you can cruise it down the road. Medium car in every way. I was hoping a little bit more sound from the engine. Brakes were nice. Interior was also better than normally in Nissan. Stereos were ok also. But not a real sports car.

Pros — looks
Cons — sound

Reviewing: 2006 Used Nissan 350Z Touring Roadster

The 350Z Roadster is a nice compromise between the zippy Soltice and Miata and the more refined Boxter and Z4.  While it's less "refined" than the German models, it's a better optioned vehicle for the money.  The rev-up VQ engine has more than enough torque and horsepower to satisfy most roadster drivers who generally prefer cruising than attacking the track.  Yet, the 350ZR can certainly hold it's own against it's German competitors in the switchbacks.

Pros — Well optioned, surprisingly decent MPG for it's performance, nice exhaust note, and well behaved handling.
Cons — A few rattles here and there that shouldn't show up in a car in this price range.

Amazing handling for stock suspension; great, aggressive sounding exhaust; a stereo worth the lack of space; and comfort of knowing youll catch the eye of many people
