For how old it is (2003), the paint is in prime condition, and the car is in great mechanical shape. 130,000 miles and still running without any faults. Japan really knows how to make reliable cars. A manual car that really makes you connect with the car. I feel its presence, and it feels me.

The handling on this car is exceptional. I really feels like it rides on rails. I have driven the car 50,000 miles without any major issues with build, engine, transmission or electronic. Power is abundant at 290 HP and steering and handling are precise. Styling has held up well over the years. I think it looks better than the current design. With any sports car, bumps are felt. However, the seats hold you in tight though I recommend the leather as fabric stains. With only two seats, it is not a family car. It is a great weekend car. It is a good commute car. Miles per gallon range bout 20 in the city and 23 highway. The trunk or cargo space is minimal due to the anti sway bar. However, a plus is the bar can be encompassed into a boom box. Google custom boom boxes for 350z. This car is remarkable for what you get and I have no reservations comparing it to Porsche or BMWs.
