excellently engineered sports car

The engine is very responsive, I have a manual transmission. Holds the road remarkable well, good center of gravity. Would love to drive the car on a closed course. There is a slight shudder at low RPM, more annoying than degraded performance. I looked at cars in the low 100's and decided after a Porsche dealer told me the Z is more fun to drive than a Porsche. He owns a 350Z also. The Vets are very powerful but noisy, the Mustang was under powered, before adding super chargers. The Z goes easily from 0-60 in under 5 seconds. You can drive elegantly or too radical...I have never contested another driver, streets aren't safe for that. I have spoken with people who routinely leave Vet,Jag, Seline, and Boxer behind. I might liken the experience to flying....no computer just pilot and machine. Really, a sweet machine that gives a driving experience like no other. The GTR in 2009 will be awesome with twin superchargers. Tested on closed course in Germany under 8 minutes, average speed had to be 168mph. The tests are given in all types of weather conditions by professional drivers.

Check your engine oil

I have 6,800 miles on my car, it's in the shop again for it second replacement engine, not rebuilt but a new engine, first one was replaced @ 2,000 miles due to high oil useage. I was told that it was limited problem on some engines, problem solved? Car in shop again @ 6,800 same problem, no questions asked they determined that my replacement engine came from the same lot as the original one. Turns out that cylinders #3 & 5 are not true, so the rings will never seat correctly. This only applies to the 6 speed high rev engine. Beware before your warranty expires.

Underrated Pick Up Truck

For the money, the Nissan Titan is an excellent half-ton pick up option. The standard engine and tranny combo, along with the standard options available for the three trim packages make it very attractive for the price. There are many standard features with the Titan which are only available as options with the big three. The big knock on the first year run of the Titan was a brake issue. However, by model year 2006 this has been resolved. In 30,000 of service, this truck has been trouble free with no trips to the dealer for anything other than routine maintenance. Definitely worth a look as an option for someone in the market for a half ton pick up.

A fun low-priced true sports car

For the $, the Nissan 350ZR is a really fun true sports car that handles like one. This car gets complimented every time it goes out for the morning, afternoon or evening. Just lower the top to hear! Next turn the Bose off and listen to the engine purr as it responds to your commands and absolutely controls the road!

Show stopper!

I love this car! It's the best looking convertible for the price! It's so fast and the auto top is so quick to go down! too bad won't fit a 3rd person!

Nice sporty car

Like the handling.Performance could be better. Had a 98 Vette before I bought the Z,so thats what I am used to. There is an annoying rattle in the dash that comes and goes.If it wasn't for the rattle I be a lot happier. The car looks great inside and out. Got the Nav system,and it works great. If you have a passenger you can't get to the storage bin behind the seat which is not to cool.Oh well it is still a nice car.

She's a rocket!

Everything about this car is fast. The steering, the accelerator, the brakes, and the handling. This car demands your every attention from the feel of the road to the roar of the engine. Stunning!

MISTAKE

Had owned another nissan. Well, me and the wife, loved this car for the first few months, untill it started giving us this nagging problem. It began with the acceleration taking longer after being stopped, with the same amount of RPMs. Got the car checked out and worked fine for another month. Well its in the shop for the third time and is not worth the aggravation. Last nissan!
