For 2004, Nissan added a much anticipated convertible to the lineup of their 350Z, billing the new model as "a little piece of heaven." Other than this new addition, the 350Z, just introduced the previous year, stayed much the same.
The 2004 350Z came in five trims: the base model, the Enthusiast, the Touring, the Track, and the Performance. The Touring and Enthusiast are both available as a convertible. All share a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 287 horsepower, which gets about 20/26 mpg. Aside from wheel and tire size, the five models are all identical appearance-wise, with the difference in amenities and performance. The Touring is the most luxurious option, and the Track is the most aggressive.
Owners of the 2004 350Z are very enthusiastic about the car's looks, performance, and handling. Those who own the convertible say it is very easy to open the top. Some drivers have had problems with alignment and excessive tire wear.
What owners say
"Overall, 2004 Nissan 350Z owners rave about its thrilling performance and sporty design, making it a favorite for driving enthusiasts. They particularly enjoyed the car's impressive acceleration, handling, and aesthetic appeal. However, many drivers noted concerns regarding the loud cabin noise and some interior quality feeling cheap. Despite minor issues like tight space and limited seats, the 350Z is highly recommended for anyone seeking a fun and reliable sports car experience."
FAST, Great acceleration, awesome handling and braking. Quality, very little issues, pretty good gas mileage, looks smoooooth and is really fun to drive. Sounds incredible, especially with aftermarket performance parts. Add a turbo kit and you'll be keeping up with exotics :).
November 9, 2009Performance: Great acceleration but lags power from 3000 to 5000 revolutions mostly on 3rd gear. The Braking is terribly poor since it has the same braking system of a Nissan Tiida. The handling is pure grip even without the ASR system. Build Quality: The car is built to last and take serious driver abuse but all the parts which arent mecanically related have poor built quality. Appearance: The interior has a great driving position and all the information u need on gages well positioned but it lacks any storing space and is practically plastic built. The exterior looks great except for the 17" rims. Cost of ownership: Gas mileage is very poor and u need to fill it up every 3 days max if its ure daily car. The maintenance is actually cheap and the fact that it doesnt break makes it even better. Fun Factor: This car is the most fun ive ever driven. It has loads of power and it grips like crazy at the same time allowing u to slide it around corners whenever u decide to.
February 9, 2010All this car needs more, is little more power and less weight. Well there is (VQ35DE) 3.5 liter engine with good torque. Brembo brakes: good touch and powerful. Car is nice and easy to drive. I realy can recommed this car! It look nice and there is realy little need repairs.

October 1, 2012Performance - Very silky power delivery and best value for money car in terms of power Build Quality - Not as great as say a BMW or Audi, but solid build and decent quality interior Appearance - A real head-turner, great looks with conservative yet 'loud' styling Fuel Costs - Quite thirsty with a 3.5 V6, but so worth it for the noise and acceleration
October 18, 2011What more can be said about Nissan's 350Z that hasn't already been said? It's their affordable, beautiful, fun-to-drive sports car, and I'm proud to say I own one. I bought mine used, and even though its not brand new, its still in wonderful condition. With it's 3.5 liter V6, its not the most fuel-sipping of the Nissan line up, but it fits my budget just fine. I can see I'm gonna love this care for years to come.
July 24, 2011I love this car and everything about it. The interior materials are a bit cheap, though. No different than my civic. The 370 has a definite improvement over interior quality over the 350. Don't care for the leather on the driver's seat bolster wearing out.
June 23, 2009performance- 287 bhp 274TQ 0-60 5.7 sec top speed- 160 gov. build quality- great build. appearance- beautifully designed inside and out cost of ownership- avg. 20 mpg, low maint fun factor- orgasmic? i wake up in the middle of the night to drive it. this car is very fun on the twisties, drag strip, drift...anything. all around great car.
August 26, 2008A very comfortable GT car that looks great and turns heads.Good performance from the V6 3.5 litre engine with 0-60 in 5.7 secs and loads of low down power. Servicing and spare parts not to expensive and generally verly little goes wrong with them.
January 9, 2011Great looks, excellent performance and entertaining handling. Also, in the UK they kept it exclusive so it looked different amongst the hordes of BMWs and TTs. Mine had 19" Nismo rims as well, which made it look even nicer.
November 29, 2007the Z was a a great car made by Japan, it can be made into a great track car if wanted, or can be a good daily driver. The car is super fun to drive, it drives super straight couldnt be happier with the car.
