The 2006 Nissan 350Z saw a number of important changes in 2006, namely the inclusion of the larger engine in more models. Available in only a few trims the year before, the 300 horsepower engine was made available in all models with manual transmission for 2006. The front end was remodeled, 18-inch wheels were offered across the board, and brakes were improved. There are plenty of 2006 350Zs to choose from: Nissan offered eight different trims, which included five coupes and three convertibles. The Enthusiast was the best seller, and the Grand Touring was the most fully-loaded. Other offerings included the base model, the luxurious Touring, and the sporty Track. The manual transmission got the 3.5-liter, 300-horsepower V6, and the automatic got the old 287-horsepower engine. Drivers are very enthusiastic about the 2005 350Z, saying they like the car's handling, acceleration, and appearance. Some drivers feel the inside materials are of poor quality, and there are a few gripes about the size of the cupholders.

What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Nissan 350Z are enthusiastic about its performance and handling, describing it as fun to drive and powerful. Many appreciate its quick acceleration and sporty appearance. However, some drivers noted issues with seat comfort and visibility, particularly from the driver's seat. The interior features, while adequate, seem to be a less favored aspect compared to the car's thrilling performance."
I have had no maintenance issues with my Z. It's a great car that is easy to drive, even in heavy traffic. For a 2-seat coupe, it is very roomy. The hatchback trunk allows for a great deal of storage. The rear strut takes up some of this space, but it is not difficult to pack around it. That's the price you pay for structural rigidity...
January 10, 2008This is a phenomenal looking car that is much more comfortable than one would think. Of course it handles amazingly and has plenty of power, but it has been my daily driver for the past 6 years and I have never regretted that for a minute. Anyone who has ever driven one will tell you that it handles like a scalpel. I would take a Z car over any other Japanese sports car in it's class.
December 1, 2014Great car, very fast. Aftermarket exhaust and cold air intake. No repairs needed except a rear bumper when I was rear-ended. Not the best mileage, about 21 mpg when I drive for gas mileage, about 18 when I don't. Very fun to drive.

August 17, 2009I love the rush I get every time I drive this car. I have never lost a street race because this car has amazing stability, performance & balance. I can honestly say I've never broken down with this car in the 4 years I've owned it. I would definitely recommend buying a Z if you had the money for it. They are dependable cars but I'd recommend you buy it as a secondary car just for summer. It's RWD so it's terrible in the winter.
December 19, 2013Awesome handling. Quick acceleration. Brembo brakes perform wonderfully, albeit extremely expensive to repair. Surprisingly few squeaks and rattles, though their is a lot of wind noise through the windows. I love the appearance, exterior most especially. It's definitely an eye catcher. The interior is eye pleasing, well laid out, however the quality is crap. The factory paint scratches off easily, but fortunately most of the interior is easy to pull out and repaint yourself (as I did). The car gets decent gas mileage, about 20 city and 28 highway... I average 24.5mpg. Maintenance has just been the regular oil changes and filters, tire pressure/alignment. The best part about the car is the fun factor, being my first sports car, it's made a good enough impression that I won't go back to just an every day car.
January 6, 2011the nissan 350z is the best car eveeer!!! although it can only occupy two people but it will give you the best driving sensation you can ever experience in your whole life. walla it is the best :P :P :P
December 13, 2009I haved loved this car since the moment I first saw it on the new car lot!!! When I drove this Beautiful car, I had to have it. The performance is beyond perfect, acceleration, braking ,handling is beyond the other cars I had test driven and owned. I have not had any problems that needed attention or repairs. The appearance is to die for. I am often asked to drive in Parades. And the cost of ownership, I can say that I am 100% pleased. I get a big charge out of driving this car whether open road or in city. Yes I would recommend this car to the young and young at heart!!!
February 14, 2009The 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.
June 25, 2008Awesome! Has loads of power. Good selection of aftermarket mods. A real DRIFTER car!
April 4, 2008Beautiful car and drives like a dream. The way this car handles when driving down the road is amazing. I'm thankful for the extra speedometer on the dash that makes it easy to view your speed.. It is extremely helpful! :)
