Good Points

The 350Z has many good points but the ones that really stand out is looks, reliability, performance and price. The 350Z is a well made solid built automobile its interior is all 1st class Sport Car from the steering wheel, racing seats to the hole drilled foot wear this is a awesome Sport Car in any of its 4-5 configurations. It has very decent 0-60 time far better then the RX-8 and very close to some Porsche's speed and brakes, for half the money. I personally think the Z looks better then some Porsches. I could go on and on but I won't. Drive one and find out for yourself.

Bad Points

Stiff and tight ride compared to the 79ZX, 87ZX, 95ZX 300Zs which rode better and their 5 speed shifted smoother. The 6 speed transmission on the 350Z is kind of nocthy but none of my previous Zs can match the 350Z overall, maybe in speed a 87 or 95 Turbo ZX, maybe speed wise, but maybe not pend on whose driving them.

The Z like most Sport Cars is not that practical, Like most Vehicles of this breed its a item of passion and free spiritness. Yet it does have traction control and Computer assisted cornering and brakes to keep you out of trouble. Not really as fast as most Porsches.

General Comments

The Nissan 350Z continues and improves upon the fine Tradition of past and presence Z cars. This last Z is off the chain its exterior and interior styling, ergonomics and function are 1st rate the plastic interior looks solid and well made. Comparable with any Sport Car in its class and some costing twice as much. The look of the 350Z is low and wide and fierce, like its ready to launch, it looks very aerodynamic and racy almost like the Sport Car of Sport Cars the Porsche, being that I hate to throw name brands out in comparison I won't do that again.

The 350Z Performance is all Sport Car its has a very strong engine and very precise steering and brakes. Its ride is fair on smooth rodes and bumpy on rough city roads in spots. This same ride at 70 and 80mps corner is awesome its sits down in the corners like a famous brand German Sport Car. Given a feeling of control and freedom not capable in the normal everyday family sedan or SUV unless they cost 2-5 times more.

In short the 350Z carries on the Tradition of the Z-Car and is one of the top selling mid-priced Sport Cars in USA, probably the world. It has actually started other Car Manufactures realize this is a valid market, if you got the goods. The Z-car sets this curve.
