The thing is a DEATH TRAP!!....j/k, but the blind spots are terrible. Its really hard to see cars on the left or right side. Car is great, very reliable, butits a two seater..Its also RWD so if you live in areas where it snows, I would't recommend it. Of course, some would say RWD FTW!

you should check out my350z.com or some other z boards for insight. I currently own a 06 base 350z. fun car love driving it. but there are a few differentoptions you can go with. 03-05 models are the cheapest(just have to worry about tire feathering issues and the hp is 287). 2006 models have 300 hp but somehave been known to have oil burning issues. then last wwould be the 07-08's more hp 306 but more money. oh the only 05 i would get is the anniversaryengine because it has the same engine as the 06. good luck on your search

I have an 04 Blue Enthusiast.
-STICK FTW! auto is just dumb on a sports car.
- Not the smoothest car. But expected bcuz its a sports car
- Insurance is based on a sports coupe.
- Alot of Z have a window problem and tire feathering.
- If you plan on getting it used. get a 04-05 which is the cheapest.
- CD player sucks. Even if its the Bose.
- Mine is stock. But drop some 19s or 20s with a lip and your set on exterior mods. IMO
- Rear trunk is really small
- All the compartments are behind your seats. Nothing in front except arm compartment. 2 small and 2 big rear storage
- I dont have a front bumper bra. But if you dont get it, you'l see LOTS of rock chip. 350z paint FTL. The front chips EASILY!
Its a really fun and fast car. But feels kinda heavy. Besides that. its a really dope car. i sold my 02 IS300 and bought a 04 Z and i havent been more happywith my purchase.

89 is a bad look on a 350Z, if you cant afford the right gas you shouldnt have a Z

I don't own one but I have drove a 350z before and the blind sports were a problem at first but you can adjust to it. Also it's not a car for tallpeople like myself 6'4" and it's kind of ironic because since I was a kid i've always wanted a Z. Power is solid and handling is ok does feelalittle heavy. If you can afford the performance package i'd say that's a good pickup. Be careful in the rain family because these RWD car get alittleloose.

It's very underpowered and doesn't sound as well as bose systems have before. The one I had didn't play cd's with scratches very well either.

True...is it worth getting a new sound system?? if so any recommendations...

depends. I mean it works. It plays CDs. The bass is okay. If your one of those dudes that wants other people to hear what your listening to a mileaway, then yes. But if your koo with something that works then its not really necessary.
i changed mine cuz my CD got stuck and it wasnt worth getting another stock unit. I bought this CD/DVD/TV Tuner Player for really cheap at a local audio storeand they installed it out the door for $200. imo it works really good. The sound got better and it had everything i wanted for really cheap. I was on a budgetand think unit really works good. Its not a clarion or alpine but it works good.
