2005 Nissan 350Z Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Drives great. Powerful. Turns heads! So Fun! Quality built and perform well... when you need to accelerate into a lane change or get ahead of another vehicle... this bad boy will get you there in style. I highly recommend you get one!

Performance: too heavy Fun Factor: Nice to drift and makes a lot of fun on the track Build Quality: is okay for the price Appearance: one of the sexiest cars Sound: It has one of the greatest OEM sound in this class

Love my Z Car. Great performance, fun to drive and looks great. I little hard to see traffic on the sides of the car - really bad blind spots on each side of the car. But I'm super short so that can be a real problem for me. The six speed is fun to drive but firs gear is really short - sometimes I just start out in second to avoid the issue. These are just minor problems for me and not at all enough to not drive my baby. I love to drive this car.

I love the way it responds when passing and I love the look of the lines of the car.

Definitely a fun weekend car to take up into the twisties or to the track. Not a lot of horsepower and torque but enough to have fun with. The stock brakes are weak anything more than spirited driving. Consider the track/Nismo edition with the Brembos.

Unbelievable value for a 2005 with only 19K miles. The car handles and drives like a machine...definitely a dream car come true!

This car has been great to drive and very reliable. I have driven it for 5 years without any issues. It corners like no other car I've ever driven and accelerates very quickly. It's really a great valued sports car.

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!

Neat car. I hate the pop out cupholder on the passenger side though. The first few times I played with it I thought, "tee hee neat." But now it rattles. And I want it to die. Other than that, its pretty fast, not hard on the eyes, and the steering, shifting feel, and brakes are all very nice. The ride isn't bad either.

Couldn’t have been more impressed. Way more fun than I expected and I expected a good bit. The acceleration was about what I expected. However the handling was off the charts. I live in the Appalachian mountains and this thing carved up the mountain roads like a knife through warm butter. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

It's the rebirth of the Z car. It's reasonably powerful, an excellent coupe, and has top notch handling. It has excellent styling which has now been surpassed by the 370Z. It's overall performance makes it agile especially when you need it.

Love my car...it's quick, looks good and performs great. Easy to modify, and with the right amount of devotion you can make one stupid fast. While it can be beaten by other cars in it's class, it's price is generally cheaper, and as stated before easy to upgrade.

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.

You get 280/300 or 313hp (depending on year) compared to same hp of a Cayman S..but 20000 EUR cheaper! OK, its still not a Porsche and the middle-engine Cayman is a class of it's own. BUT - the Cayman, the new AudiTT and the 350Z share the same general design..but the 350Z was the first of them. The rear of the 350Z is dirty and therefore know as one of the best drift-cars available... and I love it dirty! But anyway you may drive him safely (with ESP on) and relaxed as a daily car. But if you go to the edge it is definately more uncompromising than a Porsche which may drive every housewife with same speed. The 'Pack'-interiour comes along with great Bose-sound and 6CD-charger, Xenon, Speedcontrol etc.. no need to spend any extra dime..except GPS maybe.

A dream car for me. Nice V6 engine that is fast. The interior is plain and doesn't have the luxury feel, but then again, it is not a luxurious car - it is a sports car. No rear seat, unlike the G35. Again, it is a 2 seater sports car.

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!

Handling was amazing. Clutch and transmission were top notch also. There was also enough room for a 6'1 guys to drive comfortably. Acceleration was good, not great. Beautiful color; Ultra Yellow

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.

I love that you can take turns like nobody's business. It will be classic forever!!! Ownership is somewhat expensive. Gas is premium, tires are low profile (expensive), and convertible. Basically, all really expensive!! Also, everyone hits my car which is another expense. Despite these things, this is truly my dream car!

287 BHP outta the factory, can't complain there. It has very nice acceleration 0 - 60 in 5.3 (average). It looks beautiful on the outside with a drivers cockpit on the inside :) Gas is just below a normal 4 banger sedan and almost equivalent to a V6 sedan. Not much work is needed on Nissan's because they're well built. Super fun to drive!

This car belongs to my father's girlfriend who often - even though not every time I ask - give me the keys for a spin. It is a wonderful car, no question about that. Yes, it is unfortunately "only" the 280hp version (not the 300 or 313), but God it goes! I am well aware it's a heavy car, but I dare anyone who drove one of these to say that it FEELS heavy, because it just doesn't! Noisy? Yes, but that's music coming out of this exhaust system. It proved to be, so far, extremly reliable and only the brakes and tyres must be changed too often to please the owner, and she doesn't care much when I explain that it is because of the weight of the car. You don't feel it when you drive it, but the brakes and tyres do! Another issue is the interior quality. Well, it looks nice with the Satnav and the ventilated leather seats (that we fitted as a retrofit in a Nissan dealership) but the plastics, the switches just don't feel strong enough. We've had this car for 2 years now and I think it's gonna be gone soon but even in this short amount of time, the interior seems to have been made 20 years ago! Well, I'm not being fair here: forget what's inside, just look at it, just drive it ... it's probably one of the best coupes ever. And that's even before you consider the pricetag!

The car is one of the fastest you can find for the price.

I love the handling, the engine is easy to maintain unlike others sports cars it does not brake down, good on gas, no cargo or back seats, If u want a porche try the Z 350 first better quality for your money

fantastic to drive, nightmare to deal with Nissan

Interior: Black leather Bose Audio system with CD-changer and unbelievable C-cassette player! Exterior: 18 " Rays wheels Little rear spoiler Brembo's brakes More is coming until summer.

The thing i like the most about this car is its maneuverability, and how it handle any road at all speeds. Also the gas consumption is not bad. I prefer this car over my two other cars own at all times.

the car in its stock form is a blast. The color cant be beat; theres only so many ultra yellows running around and I'm pretty sure I have the only one in the area. It has power, it has looks; but it can, like anything else be better....forced induction coming soon.

Performance, handling is great, Build is amazing, I had a fender bender and the damage on my car was nowhere near the damage of the other car, it's fun to drive, great gas mileage, the only downfalls is you can't drive it in the bad weather and it takes premium gas..and insurance prices are SKY HIGH!!

Perfomance is awesome .... build quality is solid ... apearance is really sexy specially in red.... It has done only 40K kms .... love its donuts & fish tail :)... Love to race with mustang and lumina SS and give them a hard one :P

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

i love driving the car, and its a nice looking car too. lack of storage space andno back seats...only drawbacks.

really amazing, great sound helped by the V6. difficult to handle when it rains.

Responsive and beautiful! This case is surprisingly comfortable for a sports car. Mine is an Enthusiast Roadster with power seats. The seats are snug but supportive I am 61 250 lbs. So I appreciate the extra headroom the convertible top gives.

it is a gud car bt it is slw in acceleration it has a nice grt handling nd braking it has nice both interior and exterior styling it is this a fun car to drive it has low maintenance cost......

powerful fast loves to climb hills convertible is awesome in palm springs! gas mileage about 20 mpg..fun to drive only wish there was enough room to recline pasesenger seat...comfortable for tall people too...i havent had any major problems
