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.

Ive had my 2003 350z since february 2014. I got it at 149,000 miles. i am now at 177,000 miles as of march 2017 with only a few maint. work done. In 2015 my radiator needed to be replaced. In 2016 i needed a sensor because the cylnider was misfiring. Other than those two things this car runs great, I just do my oil changes every 5,500-6k miles with full synthetic oil by myself. Its fast, gets decent MPG but who cares about MPG in this car? if i wanted to save gas i would have bought a Prius. The rear hatch space sucks but the front is good. The quality inside is decent if you have the Touring model like I do. This car has brought me nice comments from people. I remember this car in NFS Underground and wanting to own it in person after playing the game in middle school. Im glad its affordable now between $3,500-$5,500 where i live used.

Enthusiast Silver 2003 edition

This is my second Nissan, Overall, it is a great sports car, gets a lot of attention driving and performs well. Had the OEM battery replaced already after 1 year since it had a bad cell and would not start. The interior plastic feels kind of hollow in center console. It is very hard to see rear objects for sure while backing up. It is rather easy to update Audio\Video components in this car!

It's not a family car, but a true sports car! Very reliable car haven't had any problems with the 350. I been driving it for nine year and it's something very special to own.

1 Owner; Driven 4500/year for 13 years

Hello, over the 13 years I've owned this car I would give this car an A. Through regular maintenance, including exterior/interior detailing every 1-2 years, this car has surpassed my expectations. I've added a cold-air K/N intake system and a "cat-back" Borla exhaust system (sounds not too aggressive, but nice) performance-wise. Also, I have Nismo body-kit parts added, i.e., rear spoiler and side skirts. Also, I've installed an after-market hood (Varona) which has stylish vents and a louvre as well as a VIS-racing front-bumper cover. All of the exterior additions add a nice sporty look to the car. Oh, I also have had the emblems and the wheels painted matte-gold which goes very well with the dark maroon color of the car. I'm hesitant to sell the car, but feel I've had enough time with it. On the negative side, there are a few scratches on the exterior paint; the cup holder is plastic and is difficult to push-in (which is why I usually just leave it out); and the map lights need replacement.
