Default Which 350z? 03, 04, 05?

I am looking into buying a 350z and I am wondering what the differences are between the years.
I know 2003 was the first year so there may have been flaws.
If you know anything about the different years, please enlighten me.
Thanks, Craig

My 03 is just fine. Do some research. Make up your own mind and make the purchase you deem proper. Welcome to the forums

I believe you have to look at the mileage and how the owner took care of the car. If the car is driven daily, the later years are most likely better. Someone who doesn't daily it posted that he has an '05 (with lower mileage that I have) is having airbags issue. The only problem I have is my tint is peeling most likely the issue I have is cold garage and very humid outside. OP, just do not go full-in buying a car without prior knowledge of the history of the Z and the car you buying, the history of the owner.

Thanks for all the help guys but i think I was misunderstood.
I am not wondering which trim i want, I already know I want touring.
What i was asking is which year is best? like do specific years have flaws such and bad suspension, shifting, anything...?

Your mother is not going to buy you a 350Z so give it up.

I feel sorry for you if you have to look at nearly 10yr old crapbox cars.

VQ motors are the worst motors ever mad, matched inside pigs of 350z, and Nissan also sucks. Id highly recommend an EVO! very superior to anything, except a MKIV supra of course.

why dont you buy a srt-4? seems like a better match for you and beside they are already turbo and can smoke any 350z from the getgo. dont waste your time on these wanna be drift machines. that is if you want to drift
