Overview & Reviews

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.

• Strong and willing V6 engine, precision handling, powerful brakes, available drop-top version, a bargain compared to anything that can run with it.

• Rough ride on Track model, some low-grade interior materials, lack of luggage space, poor rearward visibility.

  Best buy for the $$$ - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By L4 - December 29 - 4:56 pm

  Im a legacy Z watcher, and finally pulled the trigger in 06. Im glad i waited for the 06, I drove the 03 and 04 cant compare to my purchase. Although its not a primary vehicle its well worth it for anyone who cant or doesnt want to pay Porsche $$.

  What mid life crisis? - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By MichaelZ - December 27 - 4:30 am

  My Z is a daily driver. I chose it over the S2000 and RX8 because the Z has great power/torque without having to take it to redline. Acceleration is effortless. The automatic works well in stop and go and is still fun on the twistys with manual mode. Handling is amazing and that exhaust note... Pure testosterone. This is a beautiful car. The lines are great from all angles. The stock wheels on the 06 are gorgeous. Interior is comfortable and roomy. Whether I feel like a boy-racer or a businessman my Z delivers fun and grins everyday. I love my Z.

  Dream Car - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Tracy Galloway - September 2 - 12:00 am

  Best vehicle I have ever owned for performance, fun, and overall highway comfort. Nissan has a real winner in the 350Z and it is beginning to show with the numbers of 350s on the road these days!

  Whats Not To Love!? - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Rubydoo - August 15 - 10:00 am

  This is our 2nd Nissan sports car and we LOVE it. Cant ever imagine getting rid of it. We owned a 1993 300z when it was new and this 350z is even better. No matter where we go, people comment on the looks and think its a 75k+ car. It handles great and is a blast to drive! We have had zero problems with it.

  Its a Z...what else is there to know? - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By shabba - May 23 - 8:36 am

  Since 2003, Ive wanted one of these so it was my time to do it this month. Im quite happy I did. I own several Zs (and have owned many) so I can say this car has the Z soul. I didnt need to compare it to other cars (TT, Boxster, S2k) though I have driven them and they all have their strengths. The Z remains a pure and exciting sports car that has a soul and a personality. A fine purchase that I am proud of.

  Best Mothers Day Ever!!! - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Cheryl - May 12 - 11:46 pm

  I was absolutely thrilled when on Mothers Day my husband and I went to a nearby Nissan dealership to look at a 2006 Enthusiest. I had been saving for this car for a few months or more after test driving one months earlier. We bought the enthusiast in the Silver Alloy/black top 6-speed manual and it is gorgeous!! We have had it for two weeks now and we are so impressed with the ride, handling, performance and how easy the top is to open and close! Not to mention I am having the time of my life!! This car gets a lot of looks and the regular interior is just fine and comfortable. I would not get the leather, too hot to sit on with top down. The stereo is alright.

  WoooooooooooooHoooooooooooo! - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Dale - April 8 - 3:20 pm

  Fun to drive and powerful. Excellent quality and great lines. Tested the BMW Z4, Mazda Miata, Honda S2000 and Mercedes SLK 280. The 350Z looked and felt better to drive than the others. Great buy for the money and it turns heads.

  Unbelieveable car on twisty roads. Absolutely no oversteer or understeer. Easy to drive like professional racer.

  Still having fun - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Bob - January 16 - 3:50 pm

  Had the base model now for 6 months and loving it. The take off is astounding clean shifts and comfy interior. Gas mileage Ive been getting is around 24 mpg half highway half city. The interior on the 06 is a nice improvement over the 05. It feels far more solid. Trunk space is fine for me and I can accommodate a lot it only takes a while to organize the trunk if I do a big shopping trip. Very roomy for 2 people and road noise is low unless you run at high revs then the engine loves to growl. Passing power great even in 5th gear 6th for cruising mainly. Havent had anything break or make funny noises. Cant get a hold of an appointment at the dealership for maint to save my life.

  By Darrell Jennings - January 13 - 7:03 pm

  Very simple. If you want to have fun, buy this car. Great gas milage and even better power. Sticks to the road like glue, and definately will flat out move. Excellent Bose sound system makes the experience even better.
