Bottom line: this car more than delivers on the promise of its stellar looks. It's a real sports car. Gently driven doesn't even begin to explain how lovingly cared for this ultra-low mileage vehicle has been. The nissan 350z is the modern interpretation of the original datsun 240z. It's pure sports car. And it's affordable, or at least attainable. The new z is as responsive as a hungry cheetah, with racecar handling, rear-wheel drive, and thrilling acceleration performance. The chassis is fantastic, as rigid as a prototype racer's. The suspension keeps the tires glued through fast chicanes. Bounce over the curbs like michael schumacher and the z will hold its line. Its fastback styling and arching roofline hint at the porsche 911. It looks like a mid-engine sports car and, in a sense, it is. Styling details like the controversial industrial-design door handles ensure this car will never be called bland. The new z is a great value for the driving enthusiast. While the previous-generation twin-turbocharged 300zx (discontinued in 1996) delivered stellar performance, it was too expensive for most of us. The new 350z is far more affordable, starting at just $26,269. And that's no wimpy base model with a commuter engine. All 350zs get the same sports suspension and nissan's superb v6 engine, which punches out 287 horsepower and strong torque. That much power, along with a six-speed gearbox, carbon-fiber driveshaft, drive-by-wire throttle, anti-lock disc brakes vented front and rear with ebd, plus convenience features like automatic temperature control and a premium stereo, do not normally come on cars below 30k. Nissan says the 350z was designed to be a sports car an enthusiast can live with every day. While its firm ride, abrupt throttle response, and awkward cup holders don't necessarily make it a great place to drink coffee, eat doughnuts, and make phone calls on the way to work, it is a comfortable car with usable cargo space, and getting in and out isn't impossibly awkward. We don't subscribe to the old school reactive mindset of putting a vehicle out for sale, marking it up x percentage, and waiting for it to sell. Bucket Seats✔ AM/FM✔ CD Player
