Product Overview

Nissan 350Z Roadster (chassis code Z33) is a compact convertible sports car in production from 2003 to 2009. It was available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 3.5 liters.
Built on Nissan's FM platform, the 350Z shares many components and the general design language with the Infiniti G35, though it is decidedly sportier. During its production run, it was one of the most affordable ways to get a well-performing sports car that is rather reliable and easy to tune.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 235L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
