Zippy little sports car for a great value!
I bought this car used 4 years ago at 50k miles and have since put on an additional 80+k miles. It is a great drive, though the touring version is low to the ground and a little stiff but it is awesome if you love sports cars! I certainly do. I have had to replace the battery once and the rubber trim on the undercarriage takes a beating if you do a lot of freeway driving. Overall, I highly recommend it.

Great Drive
I bought this car used 7 years ago at 30k miles and have since put on an additional 110+k miles. It is a great drive, though the touring version is low to the ground and a little stiff but it is awesome if you love sports cars! I certainly do. I have had to replace the battery once and the rubber trim on the undercarriage takes a beating if you do a lot of freeway driving. Overall, I highly recommend it.

It is mine, I will not let them drive it lol.
I like that is really fun and fast. I do not like that I can just fit 2 people in it and it use a lot of gas.

It's a completely fun car! Put the top down and enjoy Spring, Summer and Fall!
It's small. It's sporty. It gets awesome gas mileage. It's a convertible.

That it's reliable and that I enjoy it very much. I bought it at 18 years old and I've very grateful for it.
What I love about my car is that it's so fun to drive. It's a small sports car and I feel happy driving it anywhere I go. The downside of my car is that it's only a two person capacity. I also bought it automatic so in the future I will make sure to buy a manual car.

I love it. It has held up well and the upkeep isn't very expensive.
It's the car I always wanted. It's a James Bond car. Strangers are always commenting on it like is it fast.

Reliable sports car for anyone
Doesn't have very many problems, it is very reliable. Super fun to drive but small interior. It handles very well if you enjoy taking care through mountains and on the track. The biggest downside of it all is that there is not much storage space. You can fit enough luggage for two people for a weekend trip max.

It is very reliable and actually very comfortable.
My 350z runs great and I have had no major engine problems. I love the looks of it and the convertible top is awesome. . It is also a very fast sports car which I love.

Very fast
I love how fast the Z is, handles like a true sports car. Hugs the corners, great acceleration, neutral balance. Throttle response is excellent. Brakes are fantastic.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled John M.

It is a great car overall. It looks great, is fast and handles well. Also very reliable mechanically. It is relatively comfortable for a sports car, with a ride that gives you that true sports car feeling.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled John M.

It only seats two people, so as a main or only car it would not be practical for a family. The trunk or storage area is also limited, meaning you cannot carry many items, or any especially large items.
