Nissan Z Personal Experiences: Pros

2008 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD
I flipped my 1st 350z, 3 days after buying it, got hit by a truck, and ended upside down, in a convertible with the top down. Had my seatbelt on, and myself and passenger, well, we walked out of the hospital with no more than small cuts and bruises. Wow. full 2008 Nissan Z review

6-speed manual RWD
I use to drive a 240Z and I fell in love with the classic styling and sports car handling. My next car was a Mustang Gt. I still own and love this car but no comparison to the Z. Always wanted another one. full 2003 Nissan Z review
