This Year's Model Updates:

The 2006 Nissan 350Z sports car receives a host of minor changes. Mechanical updates include an increase in horsepower, to 300, for all manual-transmission-equipped cars, larger brake rotors for cars without the Brembo brake package and a new vehicle speed-sensitive steering rack. For the exterior, the Z sports a revised front bumper and new headlight and taillight designs. Eighteen-inch wheels and HID headlights are now standard on all models. Changes inside include new cloth seat material, revised climate controls and a new navigation system. Finally, Nissan has made some adjustments to the Z's trim levels. A Grand Touring trim level is now available for the coupe body style; it features the Touring trim's equipment plus Brembo brakes, spoilers and stability control. Additionally, the Track and Grand Touring trims get new RAYS super lightweight forged-alloy wheels that measure 18 inches in front and 19 out back.

Pros:
  • Strong and willing V6 engine, precision handling, powerful brakes, available drop-top version, a bargain compared to anything that can run with it.
Cons:
  • Rough ride on Track model, some low-grade interior materials, lack of luggage space, poor rearward visibility.

  • Amazing Vehicle for the Price! - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    I purchased this car last week, and I couldnt be more impressed! Its the most perfect blend of performace and elegance. Nissan got it right when they went back to their roots and introduced the new and improved Z; its the affordable, but high performance sports car its ancestors were known for. Its sleek lines and stealth performace are superior most other cars in its price bracket.

  • Unnatural Love - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    I have an unnatural love for this car! This is the first car Ive owned that truly makes driving an exhilarating experience. It provides ample leg and head room for those of us who are 6 (or taller). I am able to see out and around the car very easily, unlike other roadsters I drove. The convertible top is a breeze to operate and goes through its whole cycle in 20 seconds flat. The manual mode is really handy for keeping the wheels on the ground around tight curves and corners and to keep the car under control through those pesky school zones. I would highly recommend this car. A great performance car, with great style at a great price. Gotta go! Places to go, Porsches to pass.

  • Nice Car - my first 350Z - Silver - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    Picked up a 350Z Roadster 2 weeks ago. It has 36K miles on it, I am the third owner. The car is very clean with the exception of showing some wear in the interior. The previous owner liked Jewelry I have a feeling. This is my first sports car. All I can say is its a blast to drive, especially with the top down. Ill take care of the interior with some time. The car puts a smile on my face when ever I sit in the cockpit. Enough said. Good value.

  • Great car! - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    I bought my 2006 350Z (base) in August that year and still love every second behind the wheel. Not only is it (very) fun to drive - even around town - but the only time it is ever in the shop is for routine maintenance. Since I live in the mid-Atlantic region, I use it year round, but I did get a set of good winter tires, which are a must if the Z is ever going to see snow. The gas mileage I get driving around town (~19 combined) is decent for the class of car and engine, but nothing spectacular. While the car is comfortable for shorter drives, I start to feel anything over about 4 hours (mainly in my right leg since the base model does not have cruise control).

  • Fun 2-Seat Coupe - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    Bought one used after deciding I needed a new car. Went with the 350Z rather than a WRX or S2000 simply because its sexier than the Subaru and more muscular that the S2000. Been extremely satisfied so far. Drives like a dream, hugs through corners without a complaint, tranny is relatively solid though clunky, and even gets decent MPG for a sports car. Definitely turns heads, especially with the Solar Orange paint, as its more rare to see than the likes of Mustangs and Camaros. My only serious complaint so far is the interior quality -- the black paint- like surfaces are easily scratched up. The interior more or less looks like a cheaply constructed cockpit.

  • The Z gets it right - 2006 Nissan 350Z

    My GT finally arrived last week, and Ive been spending the past week driving it around town. Best car Ive ever driven, and for the money, the best deal. I love this car!!!

  • The Most Fun to Drive for under 30,000 - 2006 Nissan 350Z
    By -

    It is an awsome vehicle, I trade my 1998 740il rocket for this and the only thing i realy miss is the interior space. But I will buy another one in a hartbeat.
