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.

Love it! - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Tiffany - October 6 - 3:30 amI have had my car a year now and I have not had any problems with it. I love the way it handles corners and gets up and goes. It turns heads from the young to the old. At first I did not like the color (Solar Orange) but it quickly grew on me and I have had a ton of compliments. The only reason I got that color is because it was the only 2007 on the lot at the time and I did not want to wait to get it. I have wanted this car for the past 4 years and I am so happy I did. It is worth every penny.

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!

Rag Tops Rule - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Dezert 350Z - February 29 - 7:53 pmThe 0-60 gets cut in half when you run it up to 1300rpms before you let it go! Gittyup! GR8 car more bang for the buck.

from 07 Roadster to 08 Nismo - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By geoszzz - November 19 - 8:10 pmI was given the chance to trade-down from my 07 350Z Roadster Touring (equipped) for a new 08 Nismo "even"///What a difference in handling, speed and fun..it is everthing my old 75 280Z had accentuated to the highest level and then some..The Nismo is for driving and Im sure would be fun to punish at a track; however, I just like driving it 0-60 (or so) and enjoying the cars superb cornering and acceleration capabilities...I agree with the review about the stereo being poor; but when I put my I-pod adapter in, the stereo was much better..as the speakers break-in the sound improves too...meanwhile Im just smiling and driving this car more happily than the convertible!

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.

Fun commuter - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By Jimmy Polk - November 20 - 9:23 amMy base 6M 350Z is a great car. I bought it to replace my 2007 GMC Sierra Denali and 1991 Corvette coupe and Ive done well. Ive gotten a lot of compliments and nods of approval since owning this car. The Nagaro Red just "pops" in the sunlight. The performance, styling and fuel economy are excellent and Im sure the reliability will be the same. Although I didnt buy from my local dealer (due to them not having the exact car I wanted (base 6M w/out splash guards), they are eager to service it. You get great mileage when you drive conservatively. Was able to get a great deal due to 370 coming. Overall Im very, very happy with my decision to purchase a Nissan 350Z.

Last 350ZR is the best - 2008 Nissan 350Z
By bigp - September 28 - 8:06 pmThis is my first Z and Im pleased to say that everything about the Z legend is true. The newest VQ35HR engine has legendary horsepower and torque, mated with the 5sp Automatic for legendary reliability, the sound of the exhaust is addictive, the design is an instant classic. Very respectable MPG for a little monster car like this. And cool tuned suspension/ride for the balance between road handling and comfort. Everything I was hoping for and a lot more.
