2005 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast review from North America
"A nice sports car needing some fine-tuning"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When trying to accelerate as fas as possible, the car does not seem to respond as it should. Don't get me wrong the car is great, but not quite what it should be for a 287hp sports-car. Shifting is not as smooth as expected. Th factory installed radio (not Bose) and rear Clarion speakers are in no way what this car should have. The front door speakers are great.
General comments?
The 350Z is all-in-all a good car, but Nissan still needs a little more fine tuning in order to get it to where it should be. It is a great car for highway driving, but not so great for city driving (stop and go). I am not sure what it is with the shifting, but it does not come close that of an Acura TL. On the positive side it has great handling, comfortable interior, and the mpg is not bad at all.
