I Love It - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Chyo - March 20 - 2:30 pmI believe this is the best value for your money if youre looking for some performance. If youre looking for practicality, dont get this car. The trunk can be useless. If those are not an issue, get this car! The engine is fabulous and handles spectacularly. The ride is bearable enough for a long road trip, but the clutch is not to my liking (try it and you will see). Gas mileage can be good if sticking it in 6th gear (26 mpg is my best), and it can obviously drain your wallet fast if driven hard.

So far, so good... - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By NerveBag - September 15 - 3:43 pmIve had my 2008 Enthusiast Z for a couple of weeks now. So far, I love it! Cant say much about reliability yet, of course, but everything else is good. PROS: F-U-N! It is a blast to drive this car. The engine sounds great, too. You get a 300hp, road-hugging sports car for $30k. Best deal out there. And it turns heads. :-) Plenty of headroom (and Im 64") CONS: Clutch is WAY too long. Theres, like, 4-6 inches of play before it engages. You can hear every speck of dirt hit the rear wheel wells. Kinda annoying. Wheel doesnt telescope, which wouldve made a HUGE difference in leg room for me. Stereos kinda lame. The fun of driving this car easily makes up for any minor nits! Recommend!

Do your research - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By CJ - November 9 - 11:16 pmI had the base badboy for 6 months before it was totaled in the rain from doing 45 in a 55mph zone. All I have to say is that this was one of the best cars that I have ever had, I dont think a Porsche would have made me much happier but no matter what you tell yourself it is really only a sunny day kind of car. You already know why you like the car but here are the problems. Base model means no lsd something which is inconceivable on a rwd car of this caliber. Secondly the brakes stink compared to the engine power. Luckily the 370 fixed this issue. The car comes with hid which is nicel and same power as the top end models. Even nismo. . But no LSD or vdc and no brembos. Im looking into awd

Perfect match - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Nick - September 23 - 1:40 pmI was searching for a car that was a coupe, zippy, stylish, and unique. I found it all with the Nismo. Its a fun car to drive. Everytime you get in it feels like your going to an auto X. I test drove an STI, G35, and RSXs before I found this, and I beleive it is the fastest and best handling out of the 3. The performance is excellent, hands down. The interior is ok. Not fancy because things like leather and power seats add weight. The car has been purpose built. Its also very bumpy ride, because of the seam welded body. However if you like that feeling of being connected to the road like me you will love this. The exhaust roars FYI too. I tell people it runs on diced lions.

Great Value Sports Car - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Ben - August 19 - 7:06 pmI think everything has been said about whats great about this car. I took my up to Lake Tahoe from San Francisco and that was the most fun I had in car. Its definitely a drivers car. Note to wives and girlfriends out there: If you are passenger, you might not like it so much. My wife, who usually never gets car sick, did riding as the passenger. Its built very low and you feel everything. Also, if you have a bad back, getting in and out could be a chore.

Pure sports car - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Steve - December 20 - 7:13 pmBought a Touring Roadster about two months ago. Here are the pros: powerful, handles great, roomy for a two seater (interior and trunk), great manual transmission, decent bose stereo, easy top operation, nice stock rims. Cons: poor gas mileage, no telescoping steering wheel, road noise, strange rattle over bumps, poor visibility. All things considered, its a great car. The fun factor far makes up for any imperfections. It feels like a true sports car. It has this "brute power" kind of feeling. Its a little heavy for such a little car, but I like that, it makes the car feel solid and planted to the road. I think for the money, it is a great value. I would highly recommend this car.

Well worth it - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By george - August 14 - 5:43 amGreat car. Fun to drive but missing a few things. No iPod dock, memory seats, or usable cup holders. The nav system isnt worth it and the stereo sounds good but isnt user friendly. Bluetooth is also flawed, our Acuras system was much better. Power and looks are awesome. Get the windows tinted and a spoiler for the finished look. The car rides low so be prepared to replace the windshield a few times. Limited sight visibility also takes getting used to. Getting around 30 mpg under normal driving conditions.

A true drivers sports car - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Juancito Gario - January 7 - 11:16 amThis vehicle is the best bang for the buck when it comes to style and performance. I always get thumbs up when I drive through towns or cities. The body style just exhumes class and sportiness and the performance and the car is on par or surpasses vehicles in its price range.

From Frontier to 350Z - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By arsey51 - October 28 - 9:36 pmOK, Ive had the little stinker for 4 days. I traded in my 06 Frontier which I liked very much as far as trucks go, for an 08 Z. What a difference from handling, acceleration, comfort, etc. I havent driven anything this small since I turned over my 85 Honda Prelude with 300K on the odometer. Looking forward to building quite the relationship with the Z. Im not looking to get anymore power or handling out of it. Ive grown tired of pouring money into cars with aftermarket stuff. So Im just going to enjoy the car for what is - a fun sports-car.
