6 Reasons To Consider the Nissan 350Z

The Nissan 350Z has been around for two decades now. The two-seater sports car has been used in numerous films and video games and because of this, its iconic look has been ingrained in the memory of many. From films like Fast and Furious to games like Need for Speed, the Nissan 350Z has served as the high-performance sports car that takes it all on from bad guys to double-crossers. Despite the advancement of technology and the introduction of electric vehicles like the Nissan Ariya, the 350Z still holds up as a high-performance sports car. As such, we’ll be listing several reasons to consider purchasing a Nissan 350Z, should you find one.

1) Engine

Despite the age of the Nissan 350Z, the sports car makes use of a powerful 3.5L V6. This V6 provides between 287 and 309 horsepower depending on the year and specifications. This means that the 350Z can hit 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds. The sports car can also top out at 155 which is pretty impressive!

2) Handling

As a sports coupe, the Nissan 350Z allows owners to hit corners with great handling and precision. The coupe features sharp steering and with its evenly distributed weight layout, drivers will have no problem cornering. The manual 6-speed option is especially sharp as it keeps drivers fully engaged. The 5-speed automatic is also good, but it really comes down to preference.

3) Interior

Another highlight of the 350Z is its interior. Inside the coupe, owners will note a high-quality aluminum material implemented on the door handles, steering wheel spokes, and shifter. A comfortable leather material also serves as the upholstery. The coupe’s exterior also earns some points as its simplicity helps enhance the overall beauty. The rounded edges and long tapering taillights help provide that dominant look. 

4) Versatility 

The Nissan 350Z comes with quite a bit of versatility and this is one of the aspects that makes it so appealing. Typically the sports coupe is used for drifting, especially given its rear-wheel drive and front-engine layout, but the coupe can also be used for drag strip racing. Naturally, the 350Z can be used as an everyday car as well.

5) Affordability

One of the most appealing points of the 350Z coupe is its price. According to the online used market, the average price of the 350Z is $12,000. At such an affordable price, the Nissan 350Z serves as a great starter vehicle for those wanting a powerful sports car. The only caveat is that it may be difficult to find a 350Z that is well-kept and free of wear and tear.

6) Customization

For those interested in the Nissan 350Z, they’ll find that there are plenty of options to choose from as far as customization goes. The sports coupe is one of the most modified cars to come from Japan and as such, there are plenty of choices for modification. Typically people upgrade the suspension, but other areas of focus include the brakes, brake pads, and brake kits. Body kits are also popular. With so many great aspects, the Nissan 350Z remains a distinctive sports car that still holds up.
