first of all I wanna say that I am amazed with the amount of information about 350z in this forum...today was my first time with the beautiful 350z,I went to get some information about small cute micra but my eyes were busy with 350z,I went for a test-drive....OUTSTANDING AMAZING SEXY....I m now driving a 3.20ci bmw (2001) and plannig to sell it...but 350z was never in my mind until today...

the version that we get here is a 280hp 364 nm at 4800 rpm...

what are the + & - of this car?
are there any cronical problem(gearbox,etc)
does the 350z makes YOU tired after a long drive?
I guess there r many 350z owners and I am asking for a feed back,positive or negative...

cheers

 

+ it looks good, fast, great handling
- only 2 seats, too much plastic used in the interior

some people have had problems w/ the transmissions, not sure about the '05 models

i've never been tired after a long drive in the Z.. sometimes i drive for hours even if i have no place to go

 

I don't get tired when I drive the Z....I get more jazzed up. I love it. I wasn't even considering one until I test drove it. I left the lot with the car a few hours later.

 

>> is it for me?

No, it's too fast for you.

 

Absolutely terrible placement of the international-symbol-of-victory (hazard lights) button. Very inaccessible. You have to twist you body a little and reach back to switch them on. Also when you use your windshield washers when driving at highway speeds, the washer fluid works its way around and stains itself all over the driver side window. If you do it at a stop, the fluid will dribble down the side panel staining that. Its very annoying and makes me not want to use it sometimes no matter how dirty my windhshield is. Besides those 2 points, great car.

 

isnt the hazard button right next to the ebrake??

i might be nuts, i havent even seen my car in 3 months

 

o yeaaaa lots of werk and effort to move yer right hand back, extend finger of your choise, make downward movement, push and release.. repeat to turn off.. o yea time to visit the chiropracter!! hehe

I also had no "plans" on buying the car
salesman talked me into just a drive and i was hooked!! lots of tech toys, fast great looking,

only think i dont care for is the cheam interior materials but if thats how they make it affordable im all for it!!

 

yes the hazard buttoin is right next to the e-brake. I think it is a good locatrion I dont even have to move my body to press it.

 

readin the forums there r many people with transmisson problems, I don know if the car dealers have enough knowledge and back up for Z in belgium,or else I have to take to a more professional garage in germany.....

I don wanna get a car that goes fast but every month I have to fix a part....

 

buy it & enjoy it!

every car has problems

just be tough with the dealers to fix under warrantee!
