Overall

RATING

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

DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS

Dynamics

RATING

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

Comfort

RATING

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

Function

RATING

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

Design/Build Quality

RATING

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