I've been really digging the 350z lately. I haven't driven one first hand, but really like what I've seen and read. What do you guys think about the 350z? Anything good or bad that you've heard or experienced with this car?

No back seat and absolutely no cargo room. Most people would need a second car.

 

[ANTH521]

that's a good point. not a real practical car if it's your only one.

I prefer the look of the G35 coupe so much more than the new Z. I hate cars with sloping off rear ends. Blech!

 

[joshmoney]

I test drove one. I have to say it is bad-ass. I like two seaters, so that wasn't a big deal. I was seriously going to buy one, but I decided that I don't need a race car, and the tc was about ten grand less.

Maybe in a few years, when I'm having a mid-life crisis, I'll get one for the weekends.

i dont think the z was designed around functionality.

its a blast to drive. i can see why people like them. sticks to the ground like its glued. and rear wheel drive cars are so much fun.

That's funny -- I actually feel totally the opposite...I hate the way the G35 looks.

Oh, I agree -- was just pointing it out for anyone who hadn't thought of that.

Well, I'm apparently the only one, so I wouldn't worry about it...

 

[Plissken]

No, wait!! Be my friend....

 

[basilisk4]

hehe...just to clarify, by the way, I meant that apparently everyone likes the way the G35 looks but me...

 

[lo bux racer]

I like them both for appearance, but I like the G35's lights better. I don't care for the slash lighting on the Z. They're nice cars in stock form, fun to drive, handle well, but are not practical daily drivers. Why do you think I bought a tC when I already own a Supra?

I'd still buy an Evo or STi before I'd buy the Nissan if I wanted to buy something new. Or better yet, wait for 2007 model year when the Skyline finally comes to our shores in a US spec package. That will be very cool.

 

[pyroman2000]

I dont like the Z for a few reasons. I sat in one on the lot and every part just felt cheap and flimsy and the fit and finish sucked. I havent driven one but ive heard the are pretty awsome. I personally prefer the look of the G35 and in my opinion I think that the tC has a bit of G35 in it. I'm not the only person to make that comment either.

 

[basilisk4]

I would really like to know what similarities the tC and G35 have, other than both being Japanese.

 

[zoltiz]

Not big on the looks of the 350Z. Liked Lotus Elise in pictures, but when I saw it in person - was glad I did not go for it...

Not ready for a roadster yet. Another 10 years, midlife crisis, and I'll be there

I may be there or past...depends on when midlife starts

I like the LOOKS of the Z & G35. But, as others have said practicality, value for the money, not having a garage of cars like Leno, etc, I got a tC.

 

[robotsneedlove2]

i like the looks of the 350's exterior, but the interior isn't so nice--too bathtubby. never did test drive it--was only interested in it back when dealers were complete a-holes about testing it only if you signed and agreed to buy it beforehand.
