Think it's one of very few cars that looks good bone stock. Of course it doesn't hurt that it doesn't take much to make it better in so many ways
By the way Z is a total blast, no regrets

No regrets. it was either the z or the 330ci convertible and I'm glad I chose the Z. Looks are good, performance is good (for me), comfortable enough for a daily driver (which it is)
My previous cars were 2001 honda accord and 2004 mazda6 v6 and 2005 nissan altima. Mazda was good, this one is better.

good luck with your choice.

Very satisfied. However, I only put about 5,000 miles per year on it and use it on nice days (no rain) and rarely drive it in the winter. Its a second fun car. Not sure I would be satisfied if it were my only car. Too small, no storage, one extra seat, premium gas only, etc....

I'm Z-car fan from way back in the 240Z days until now. The 350Z is one of the cars I'd stare at an admire as it pasted. As for road noise and rattels that's part of owning a sports car all but the most expensive luxury sport vehicle have rattles and road noise its part of being connected to the outside or whats happening around your car. Rattles are part of buying a cheap sports car.

Overall comparing past Z-cars this is one of the best. In terms of handling, styling, driving amenties, brakes and performance only the $43k Turbo Z32 comes close. The 350Z has one of the best N/A engines available performance wise and if you can TT it smokes Z06s, not fair BC its been mod but it does.

My Car is Stock and I ain't got nothing but luv for my Z, ain't nothing finer driving wise, then taken a smooth back road full of S curves and straight away!!!

Its my toy, i dont drive her in the rain and put less than 5K miles a year on her so i can live with the loud road noise but thats mostly tires and lack of storage. The car is a blast to drive. Its fast and handles great. Plus it looks like it should cost at least twice as much.

100% Happy. I started with a 92 Chrysler Lebaron, then on to a 2000 Cavalier, manual tranny. The Cavy was a nice switch with the stick, but good god.....slow.

I drove my friends 350Z back in PA one day and instantly fell in love. Scouted around for one I could afford, and got it. I look at it from my window by my desk at work a few times during the day.

Love her <3

Love my car 2004 Touring model. Hate the road noise but hey its fun and i think the Eagle F1 tires i put on are no help because they are stronger compund rubber and project even more noise than the bridgestones. But aligned correctly 2x a year on the stock tires or pirellis and its good. Besides that i love my car only sometimes i wonder if a G35 6mt wouldve been a smarter move cause of the backseat but lol..

I liked the Z's, but f*cking loved the G35c!

i have an 08 base. the HR is great! i had an 06 for a little while, and the HR motor is noticably faster.. plus it sounds awesome when floored! ive driven alot of cars, mostly trucks. its my first sports car though, and yeah it could be faster, but it makes up for it in the handling. my dad has a c5 vette, and i enjoy driving the Z much better. (i just wish the Z had t-tops, theyre so nice) but ive been drag racing since i was 8 years old, and im 21 now, so i have driven ALOT of race cars! as far as street cars go, this car kicks a**!!

I was satisfied during the first few months, but I got used to the power really quick and I had powerless hondas before. Presently, I think the 350z is too slow. I do think the Z's body is extremely sexy with a nice drop and wheels though, probably better than any other car Ive seen so far.
