Nissan 350Z (2003-2008) Buying Guide
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
by Richard Dredge The original Z cars were all-time greats; while the brand went off the boil for a while, this masterpiece made sure it didn't wither on the vine. With a free-revving V6 up front there's power aplenty while handling is an enthusiast's dream - oversteer is available on demand. Despite superb performance credentials, the 350Z is easy to drive and reliable too - and although there's no prestige badge in evidence, you're not paying premium prices to buy or run one either. |
