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.

  Most Bang For the Buck - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By DamonH - October 29 - 4:40 am

  This is my 2nd Z. My first was an 03 Enthusiast with the 5A. I couldnt stand the car. I had it only 6 months and sold it. I bought my 06 last August. Its the base model with the 6 speed manual. This is the most fun car Ive ever owned. Its a complete 180 from the 03. The exhaust note is amazing, gas mileage is awesome for a 300 hp car, and the reliability cant be beat. This is my weekend car, while my 07 Audi A4 is the daily driver. The Z gets a little bone-jarring after a while, but I always have a blast driving.

  Rocking Red Sports Car - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Red Rider - September 30 - 6:16 am

  Just picked this up on 11/4/06 and havent had the time to really put it thru the paces, but so far..... its an amazing machine to drive. Had to wait until it was found in Redline Enthusiast package, but well worth the wait... Traded up from a 2005 Altima SE-R and very glad I did !!!! I Loved That Car As Well !!! Mileage suffers a bit by comparison, but the extra performance balances out the extra $$ Overall, a very exciting vehicle to drive and likely the last one Ill ever need to get.... Go to your local Nissan dealer and check it out for yourself.... Youll be elated that you did...

  Great Ride - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Bill - July 24 - 9:30 am

  Bought my black on black Z six months ago and fell in love with it. With the top down riding in the sun other drivers roll down their windows to comment on the great looks of the car. Im over 6 foot and find it very comfortable. The ride is better than a friends Corvette and I found it more roomy then the Honda S2000. When driving on the interstate with the top down I can hold a conversation with a passenger without screaming. Handling is exceptional and performance top notch. I would recommend this car to anyone that enjoys the open road or just cruising.

  Fun Car - 2006 Nissan 350Z
  By Alpine4e - June 10 - 5:23 pm

  I bought my Z about a week ago and absolutely love it. It looks awesome and drives even better. It handles like a dream. It doesnt have rocket like speed but it is fast enough. It turns heads wherever you go. I love the convertible.

  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!
