2006 Nissan 350Z Road Test Ratings

Hot at its debut, the Nissan 350Z is still fun to drive, but is already starting to look dated.

Plenty of grip and rear-wheel-drive entertainment. Weight hampers acceleration perfomance a bit.

Ride is a bit stiff for daily driver duty, driving position is good.

Interior is optimized for driving, featuring plentiful gauges, a nice shifter and deeply sculpted seats. However, the rear interior suspension brace limits hatch space.

This shape hasn't aged well, and certain details like the vertical door handle seem gimmicky. Interior materials are average.
