Nissan 350Z (Z33)
Sports CarProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Nissan 350Z (chassis code Z33) is a compact sports car in production from 2003 to 2009. It was available with several V6 engines that displaced 3.5 liters.
The successor to the 300ZX (Z32), the 350Z has a more modern styling with rounder lines. It retains a good, balanced suspension setup with good power delivery and decent reliability record.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 235L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient. Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Nissan 350Z uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
