Sleazy Dealer

I preordered a Daytona Blue Touring Model. The dealer promised MSRP only...No Premiums. The car arrived yesterday and they tacked on a $2000 add-on called "Paint and Fabric Protection Plan." After finalizing the price with the salesman months before I was shocked that all of the sudden its $2000 more than we agreed. The sleazy manager said, "take it or leave it, I have other people who want it." So we left it. The manager then replied, "Good, I didn't want to sell it to you anyway." AVOID SUPERIOR NISSAN OF CITY OF INDUSTRY AT ALL COSTS.

Car is great fun to drive, but there have been LOTS of minor issues that negate that - audio system sounds great, but repaired twice (not under warranty); crappy placement of 12V outlet and cup holders (can't use radar detector!!); driver side auto-close window doesn't work, tires replaced twice, thumping passenger-side seatbelt, etc. Anyone owning the 350 certainly recognizes these problems BUT.....to drive this car is to forget these admittedly trivial issues (they're not that trivial, but I get very forgiving once behind the wheel)........

Excellent Sport Car

I love how the handles around corners and high speed. The 3.5L engine is smooth and powerful. I drove the car from San Jose, Ca to Riverside, Ca using the Interstate 5. Over the steep Tejon Pass, the car moves effortless in sixth gear. Overall gas mileage for my 398 miles trip is 28.9 miles per gallon. It is also one great looking sport car. Great job by the Nissan designers.

I bought my orange 350s with 107k miles on it, now it has 114k and still running with no problems. A few minor things such as flex pipes for the exhaust and a door seal which the tab broke off need to be fixed. Other than that its a great car, quick, responsive, it corners tight and comfortably, and takes a lot of concentration to keep your foot out of the throttle, its clear this car was built to run on a track.

Love the Car But....

Love the Car's Performance, its a blast to drive, and it gets lots of looks... BUT...the door sills are high which makes it difficult to use drive through banking services, it is somewhat difficult to get in and out of the car, and replacement tires for this model are very expensive. FYI...You do not rotate the tires front to rear on the touring model...the tires are directional tires and the front and back tires are different sizes. The dealers do not inform you of this...I just happened to ask while I was closing the deal. However, these factors did not prevent me from purchasing the Z.
