  beware of issues - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By my2ndz - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Great performing car! However, there are issues. One only has to go to 350Z forums to hear of the many problems the Z has: sever feathered front tires that need to be replaced every few thousand miles, pourpousing on cement highways, bad alignment, manual trans being replaced several times, front seat moves while cornering just to name a few. In general Nissan has not addressed these problems. Many Z owners have filed formal notices with the NHTSA, wich are vewable on http://www- odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/complai n/complaintsearch.cfm I would check with your dealer and other owners before purchasing this car.

  Best bang for the buck - no question - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Broohaha - February 17 - 10:00 am

  My goal was to find the best performing/fun to drive car. I ended up with the 350Z. The Z is a ton of fun to drive: from its throaty exhaust, to its extremely low stance and amazing handling... For those who need a backseat: see the Infiniti G35.

  Incredible car for the money - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Daryl Erdman - February 17 - 10:00 am

  This is my third Z-car and by far the best. The price to value ratio is incredible! Sticker price comparison to my 14 year old 300-Z was only $500 more!

  dont buy a nissan - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By ron - January 22 - 11:26 pm

  Nothing but problems with the z. Front end problems that nissan didnt repair because they couldnt get the tires to fix the problem.( P.S. dealership sells tires) Air conditioning problems that they temporary fix by recharging the system not stopping the leak. ( they get $90 from me to recharge the system ..nothing if they fix it) Squeaks and flex noises that will drive you insane. And now a fuel hose recall that will need the whole rear end to come off for a fix! Would you take it up to 100 after nissans mechanics got done with it?

  Z Love - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Z Love - January 6 - 10:00 am

  the editors review basis its numbers on irrelevant factors. anyone who would consider "cupholders" relevant shouldnt be driving a high-performance sports car. dont only look at the editors final rating to consider the Z -- it deserves much higher than a 7.96.

  350 Z IS OUT OF CONTROLL - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By RAYTACOMA - December 30 - 10:00 am

  I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL BMWS INCLUDING A 2001 M3, AND OVERALL MY 350Z IS THE MOST EXCITING, EYE CATCHING CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. I HIGHLY RECOMEND IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A SPORTSCAR.

  The Black Widow - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By jefsal - December 19 - 10:00 am

  Cons: We are having nothing but MAJOR problems with the car. STAY AWAY. 1)We are in the process of having the ENGINE REPLACED. It has 14K miles on it. The engine is burning oil and requires more work than NISSAN thinks it is worth. 2) There is a major problem with many of these cars in the suspension causing the alignment to go off prematurely ruining the tires. NISSAN is quietly panicking over this 3) Had a stabilizer problem. Now fixed

  some issues with 2003 model - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Andrew Lustig - September 19 - 2:40 pm

  I had this car for 3-1/2 years - just sold it today. Loved it for the first two years, but the following bothered me: 1. airbag light kept malfunctioning. 2. front tire problems, which the dealership was supposed to inform me of, but didnt. 3. tires kept losing pressure for no apparent reason (separate from #2). 4. fuel line/filter recall. 5. No Visibility to sides and back of vehicle.

  24000 miles on mine - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Tbob007 - September 19 - 10:00 am

  I love this car like a child but like any child it has its problems. Front tires replaced under warranty TWICE for the alignment/tire wear problem. New tranny at 21,000 miles, dealership said it was preventative. Okey dokey. Brake squeek (they might have finally fixed it after 3rd try). Power window switch broken. AC compressor busted. etc. . .etc. Trying to sell it. Low, low resale value (all these problems maybe?)

  A fast, reliable, loud beast! - 2003 Nissan 350Z
  By Ski - August 7 - 2:46 am

  I bought this car at 28,000 miles. Its sitting currently at 91,000, with no problems or major issues yet and upon my full inspection, nothing building. This car is extremely fast, with the new exhaust I put on it, amongst other engine modifications Ive done, is louder than any other Z Ive been around. It definitely turns heads! Even though Im getting ready to sell my Z for a older muscle car, Ill get another one here soon. These cars are reliable as anything and are what theyre supposed to be, a raw, fast, no bars held performance vehicle.
