This is a great looking vehicle, and a total hoot to drive. I feel like a million bucks driving it around. And driving? It doesn't get better than this without breaking the bank. My baby corners like she's on rails It's as smooth at one-hundred-forty-seven miles and hour as it is at thirty. There's no vibration at high speeds, everything is solid without rattles. The interior has every bell and whistle that was available at the time. It's an awesome, sexy car to drive.

Have owned this car for five years, and between me and the one owner before me have driven it 140,000 miles. This car is in fantastic shape for its age. The transmission is still solid after only being touched up twice, once by me and once by an unknown repair company. Manual still shifts cleanly. No leaks in the T-top after all this time. Paint has stayed in good shape. Leather seats are solid with only one tiny rip in the passenger side. High quality plastics. Digital dash still lights up and works well. All the seals still hold. The engine has held up great. Still has a lot of kick left in it. Only had to repair it once. Belts still run nice, no rattling or jerking on the gearbox. Shows the typical wear and tear signs but only slightly. One of the downsides is that manual transmissions are not commonly taught anymore so many may not be able to drive it if you need them to. Doesn't come with the bells and whistles a lot of new cars have of course. Stock radio doesn't have Bluetooth or USB or even CD. Anti-theft is a little outdated.

The 300ZX was the last hurrah in a long line of Nissan and Datsun designs. The embodiment of the '80s and its "sports car for the common man" slogan. I bought my 1984 Z31 brand new, and after owning it for two weeks I knew I would never end up selling the car. Over its 32 year lifetime I've rebuilt the transmission and replaced many a water pump, starter, timing belt, and alternator. Most would count those as consumable parts, and rightly so. I've never had any major issue with the engine or drive train, and the vehicle has fantastic aftermarket support. I've been driving this car daily in all seasons but winter. The interior is what you'd expect from a 1980s sports car, nothing fancy, but definitely comfortable. Nowadays the youth like to tear out the innards and reupholster in leather with large bass-y speakers, but to each his own.
