2008 Nissan 350z Review

[AvocadoTomato]

What's all this about being a chick magnet? Get a car based on its performance and styling, not if it will attract the opposite sex.

[Z33Samer]

My Z didn't come with a chick magnet. Must be an option on the nismo version...

[koston777]

@ 1:12 that is not 350Z's interior...

[revakna]

ok then wich nissan 350z is the fastest besides the nismo? track or touring?



[sonic911]

kevin bacon?

[Anthonee86]

I love the Nissan 350Z nismo its just to bad Nissan desighners butchered the 370z it looks so weird compared to the 350z its soo ugly its just too bad the didnt continue the 350z into the 2011 year that car looks sexy as hell and they may never again design such an affordable kick ass lookin car again, its just too bad (gtr is sweet though, if yur rich)

[Brandon22S]

@Fallout401 Damn, with 85,000$ just go buy a gtr for your first car.

[fallout401]

@Brandon22S didin't see you're comment buy my birthday is in two weeks and i'm going car shoping today :) the gtr is nice and i can afford it but the 370z ooh. i'm not sure myself what else do you think is better i'm checking the nissan website now.

[fallout401]

i'm a guy and i'm looking to buy a new car i am turning 16 and my parents told me i can pick a car no more than 85,000$ can someone help me out please i like the 350z but were in 11' so idk

[khuong1994]

@fallout401 Why do I get the feeling you drive a fkin shitbox.

[fallout401]

@khuong1994 i don't drive yet, my mom drives a mercedes and my dad has a hummer h2

[spartanxxx17]

@fallout401 what the hell?! Get a C6 corvette z06!

[TheMinimickey]

@fallout401 You are one spoiled little bastard. Your parents gave you a 85k car price limit for being 16? Wow...

[catmad8903]

@TheMinimickey well see my dad gave me a porsch does that mean im spoild no i just turn 18

[jimmydb13]

The Neeeesan 350Z lol... :-P

[willymywonka]

horrible review. sounds like a fanboy talking about his new car.

fastest car you'll get your hands on? wow drive a real car

[SilverstoneZED]

@willymywonka So, the 350Z is not a "real car"? I guess that's one opinion.

[willymywonka]

@SilverstoneZED sure it's a "real car" but you've got to admit this review is a joke. Fastest car you'll put your hands on? lol

drive a "Real car" as in a fast one.

[SilverstoneZED]

@willymywonka Yeah, not a good review. I drive a Z, and I'm surprised nobody else has noticed that at 1:14, THIS IS NOT THE INTERIOR OF A 350Z. :-)

[willymywonka]

@SilverstoneZED lol i love how a sports car review has a prius for the intro

[balf57]

how does it handle in the snow?

[LittleDragon7]

wkd car rubbish review

[eXxtrazZz]

@STAR350Z im so fuckin agree !

[Hitbychance]

got mine this summer :D

[UbeefHooked]

NeeSarn? Neesmo? 

[Deoxus5023]

@UbeefHooked Nismo i think :p

[Trickypeng2]

it has pretty much the same as a saturn sky but the saturn sky is less expensive and more body (but depends on what version of the sky you get)

[Trickypeng2]

it has pretty much the same as a saturn sky but the saturn sky is less expensive and more body

[AguyNamedHorse]

yes, everyone have 28 g's. idiot

[06109633]

hey.. im the coolest kid on the block then ! love my Z !

[paintball4symbolizm]

im gettin on of these for my first car :) cant wait......and no, my parents are not paying for it. ive worked my ass off so i dont have to drive some broke down car like most my friends

[steelyshots1]

Shitt I didnt know 08 350z Had 305HP?:O

[666stringnublet]

Rich mother fucker -_-

[theclockmace]

take a 350z and drop an r35 motor in and you got yourself a ride.

[extreme1is1me]

i want that fucking car!!! imma get it one day just gotta have soem hope.

[Brendon00000]

Frankly where i live the 350 actually costs $50,000, but it is my dream car and it has the best v6 ever made, awesome styling and a nice interior, but i hate 2008's, the 2006 performance model is the best for the price i just need to search for one, right now i drive the coolest FWD ever the famous 91 crx si

[stevenmorookian16]

This car is a piece of shit. Its really worth 5 cents a pound at the scrap yard.

[bigguyviet100]

@stevenmorookian16 you mean you're a piece of shit ?

[stevenmorookian16]

@bigguyviet100 No, you need to have your eyes checked. I clearly said that the Nissan 350z is a piece of shit. My statement is 100% true. Unreliable piece of shit car.

[GetThemLyrics]

I want a good cheap sports type car and I'm thinking about this one. Any other thoughts?

[stevenmorookian16]

@GetThemLyrics Don't buy a nissan 350z, you will end up selling that piece of shit to a scrap yard.

[Blazedone123]

that interior isnt even from the Z.....

[rockondon]

yeah im thinking of trading my 93 rx7 for a nissan 350z nissan makes great everything..but i dont wanna worry about intercooler/turbos/rotarys..ec­t

[CakeS2k]

this review suckkkked!

[LAchems]

beautiful car, but i still prefer the g35 coupe.

[STAR350Z]

Now see this my style of cars I only like to drive imports like Nissan GTR Toyota Super Subaru WRX STI Mazda RX7 Mitsubishi Evo Lancer IX MR and Nissan 350z etc

[dinmagic]

Used to have one of these babies, but since the economy is slow we couldn't pay for it anymore. I'm so angry.

[HENRYHOBBS1]

listen dipstick its compact and sexy n drives men and women wild

[demonicBerith]

I don't like the 350z,The 370z looks amazingly better

[rarejd]

370z is ugly, it's benefits are its performance

[demonicBerith]

rofl no its not.. the 350z is ugly and bland, You must have horable fucking taste because everyone who has seen my friends has loved it,even the interior looks beast. and if you think it's ugly why look it up shit for brains

[dinmagic]

@demonicBerith

No need to be rude about someone's opinions. My taste goes for the 350z models, I find them to be slicker more round. Not saying that I hate the 370z, but I prefer the looks of the earlier models.

[demonicBerith]

fare enough

[loudspeekas]

same. when I start making money I'll buy an older one for 10k cheaper. granted 40k extra miles, but that's the great thing about Nissans, well-built, cheap maintenance.

[rarejd]

You articulate like a 5 year old, and take comments so personally over youtube, that you insult like a high school kid.

I never said the interior wasn't an improvement, and styling is a subjective opinion. My comment was, subjective. Not intended to be taken as a fact. Someone doesn't see it the way you do, and you call them a shit for brains. Once again, grow up. People, believe it or not, aren't always going to agree with you, and it doesn't make them any more right or wrong.

[loudspeekas]

Dude, welcome to the internet. They should really think about creating a feature on youtube that's let's the adults filter out kids' comments.

[loudspeekas]

that*

[KoolJayJ]

@rarejd then dont talk on youtube, you should know by now that youtube produces some of the most idiotic imbeciles on the face of the earth. Alot of people dont act like they do in real life on here, they feel safe behind a computer and remaining anonymous

IMO i dont even see the point in talking on here.... other then to pass time if your really that bored

[rarejd]

Also, Nissan lowered their sales expectations from 30,000 in 2009 for the 370z to just 10,000 sales, while in the first 3 years the 350z came out, it sold over 1.5 millions z's. Economic crisis? Or people just don't like it as much as you and your friends do. I hope "everyone" doesn't imply just you and your school friends. There's a big world out there, and it's going to be a very sad day when you realize that your world is very very small, and not a representation of the U.S.

[fantana501]

This is a really great car and all but I kinda wish they just kept making the 300zx.

[Ge0vone]

I want either the 35th anv or the NISMO

[montes1000]

This was my favorite car!! But now is Nissan 370Z check it!!!

[Mickyto09]

x2 jaja

[STAR350Z]

Im in love with the Nissan 350z Nissan 350z is a chick magnet

[Ilyasem]

yea but sadly it's only got 2 seats

[STAR350Z]

so idc its still the sexiest car

[Metropolitian]

Means chicks have to queue up for getting in your car!

[Ilyasem]

nice

[disparrbadboy]

@STAR350Z My Dad Has One In Orange, He's Upgrading To The 370 z Soon :)

[STAR350Z]

@disparrbadboy thats nice i wonder how people upgrade a 350z to 370z? :) but i think thats cool :D

[disparrbadboy]

@STAR350Z i mean he's selling he's 350 and getting a 370

[STAR350Z]

@disparrbadboy oh nice

[Warpath2198]

@STAR350Z looking good a chick magnet not what car you drive.

[Talon21500]

@STAR350Z Agreed, it's a fucking sick car!

[dnaslinky369]

@STAR350Z so your telling me a 400 pound dirty slob being unhygenic can pick up chicks as long as he buys a 350z?

[DrBeardie]

@dnaslinky369 no but a ferrari enzo can :P haha jk

[89frisco]

@dnaslinky369 no bro sadly for you you still wont be able to get girls

[spartanxxx17]

@STAR350Z Is it really a chick magnet? I am looking at an 08

[112887db]

@STAR350Z lol im a chick so its a dude magnet hahah

[jasonsr3]

great car just cant get over the bad interior, Infinity has bad interiors too I love the g35/37 but interior geez.

[felip77]

check out my nissan 350z its worth 50.000 dollars click on felip77

[thecrazypeople112211]

i love the way he makes a 5.1 sound amazing

THAT SUCKS FOR A SPORTS CAR

if you are buying a sports car it should be in the 4s at a min

[koukicrisp]

It sucks for a sports car? Name another sportrs car WITHIN its PRICE that can outperform it. The EVO and STi, both cost more and neither one are as pretty. The Stang GT does it in 5.2, Charger R/T 5.5. No other car couples looks, handling, and speed in such an affordable package.

[forgetpolitics]

They've stopped producing them. The 370z is the replacement.

[lilxtom2hot]

how come i still see them in nissan shops

[forgetpolitics]

Those are mostly cars that remain unsold because of lower demand for new cars cause of the economy. Some of them were made this year but they are the last 350z's.

[1256robert]

i like both 350z and 370z i seen both

[cdude100]

300zx kicks the 350z ass

[JUNIOR6289]

300zx is a pussy against a 370z  nismo

[GDR352]

Nissan is by far the best of the Japanese car makers. For some reason Toyota and Honda remain the darlings of the auto reviewers but Nissan really kicks their ass year after year with better, more exciting cars and the 350Z is a world class sport car at cut rate price.

[DGK4life98]

nice ass bitch ill get dat and put twin turbo in dat shit

[raduqu93]

this car is awsome!!!!!

[Bulgdoom]

Look on popular sites like autotrader. I found an add there with my rebuilt tC and then found out that the guy selling it actually runs a whole business fixing cars and reselling them like that. You might also try searching on google i guess, im sure ul find something. I can't really tell u where exactly to go look.

[oarih94]

i want one. but considering that i'm gonna be getting my license soon, the insurance is gonna be a pain in the ass

[Bulgdoom]

Yea rofl, especially if ur getting license in the US, dont go for a sports car. Get an old rebuilt car that gets to 60 in about 8 sec, learn from it, go drive around. If something happens, its cheap so u won't be banging ur head about the super sweet new car u just wrecked. (I got a rebuilt Scion tC which cost me 8 grand a year ago and still running strong, shipping to Europe next week n looking for a normal used 350z)

[Pe3NuT]

Where would you find these rebuilt cars?

[joesabitch]

Thats the same with me, Im getting one of these any way though. As soon as i get my license.

[myshiftedreality]

Neesaaan 350 zee?

Silly ass yank.

I love my Nissan 350 zed

[mitsubishi777]

Oh, I see. Most of Japanese people also call it "zed". However, most of them call it "zee" when they are in front of Americans. As for me, I always call it "zed" because I was taught by an Englishman who was an assistant language teacher when I was a high school student.

[Hcivic786]

For 350z experts out there, can anyone tell me the difference between base, touring, grand tourind and all the otehr trims as he has mentioned in the vid minus the nismo. I know what nismo is capable of but I want to know the differences between the otehr trims. I assume grand touring is the second best. But what specs and features does grand touring have. Thanks =)

[Elmyud]

Base is just that, base. If possible, try to avoid this trim as there are a number of features that is not available ONLY on the base trim.

Enthusiast is the "true" base trim. This adds traction control, cruise control, aluminum pedals, dimming mirrors, etc.

From here you can choose to go luxery with the Touring or performance with the Nismo. GT adds leather seats, Bose audio, etc. Nismo adds Brembo brakes and racing suspensions. GT has all the Touring and Nismo features minus the aero.

[Junije1]

My dad just bought one of these, but the newer model 370

[kkjk7]

Ill take s2000 any day

[jzseymour]

agreed and looks better and has way way way way way way more torque! better MPG with a bigger engine LOL

[loneknight97]

my car except i have the 2009 nissan 370z

[snowskateskate]

"various aerodynamic upgrades like; firmer shocks, and lightweight wheels"

I wasn't aware those were related to aerodynamics

[firas521]

im get a z but its a Nismo

[billooboy66]

hey umm is the 350Z a good car for first time drivers cuz it might be my first car. please respond.

[seprehuoyeviglli]

I'm getting this as my first car too.

[AllenPattison]

ur getting a z for ur first car? man i wish my parents were that rich =( my car restrictions are= has to be 4 cylinders, has to get 28 mpg++ so that narrows it down to a pretty gay car....

[seprehuoyeviglli]

Pft i wish dude. I've been working to get this car every year durring summer. for about 4 years now.

so that sucks.

=(

[dhillskier75]

eclispse gsx, awd, 4 cyl turbo and gets 30+mpg

[03056932]

you could still get a 0-60 <8 second car that qualifies if you buy an import

[R350zz33]

i got the z for my first car all i had to do is work hard and save for 6 years

[nurbsenvi]

That's a fucking long time...

nearly one tenth of your life time.

[BigDietz1]

so your 60 years old

[Cmillzz860]

lol honda civic! now u cud b the typical ricer. and put a jet plane wing on the trunk =]

[mstreamer9991]

Probably not...your insurance will be sky high and the car is unpredictable at the limit when cornering, But if I were you I'd take the chance and get it you may never get this chance again. GOOD LUCK

[dhillskier75]

if your planning on driving normally and not fuck around then yes, not the best track car, it has a weird front suspension geometry that makes it have different characterisitcs at different speeds.

[moranerick99]

im looking for a car, selling my prelude, wich car will u guys recomend? a Z? wrx? evo? i would like something already that comes with a turbo, i dont know if theres any Z already turbo does anyone know?

[UberR3D]

no its a normal breathing car no turbo i believe, but then again the comapny sometimes DOES do this

[Kaelthalanthas]

Why would you ask on youtube? Perhaps more intriguing to me is why would you trust anyone on youtube?

[Piedutch]

So.. I get it, 350z is longer then 370z

[bigbradford69]

nismo sucks

[dayboyy24]

i have an 2005 burnt orange one (:

[Apoth3cary]

Thats the coolest color for these cars too! Your lucky man....

[qwertyMason]

sweet car... the dude is a fuckin flaming fagg

[Ijustmadethisup4]

"the 350z is easily one of the fastest cars you can lay your hands on"

WTF? I LOVE the Z...but damn its not that fast. For the price of the Nismo you can almost get a vette...thats ALOT faster.

[bgai3]

i want one also,,,its sooo hard to get financed, especially for a young person with limited credit.....ive only had 5grand worth of credit, now i want 20 grrand+ , lol, wish me luck

[vette1120]

ok, i might be getting this car, i dont wanna sound like an idiot, i know its RWD, and i know alot about cars, but Im curious to see how people hold out in the winter while driving the Z, cause where i live, we have some pretty bad winters, like how does it handle in the winter

[88isthenumber]

Even with all the winter precautions taken I would not recommend this car to an individual unless you are an experienced driver. If there is more than an inch of snow on the ground you are going to panic and slide a lot, but for those who can remain calm and counter the slide you should be fine. Where I'm from we are allowed chains and they plow pretty good so it's ok here but it depends on how your town/city is with winter management.

[Seany06]

Coolest kid on the block and not broke... lol, brb pulling 28 G's out of my pocket.

Very nice car!

[guitarfreak2100]

Haha Lmao bro!

[RKO1988]

the interior blows. get the 370z instead. I turned down a dealer that was gonna give me this but the interiors cheap plastic

[soopertrooper001]

want one of these so bad

[extreme1is1me]

god i want that car but imma just start out with a 2005 or 2006 cuz im on a budget lol average joe.

[lbmuscle]

I purchased an 08 350z in sept of 08..and the New VQHR engine has a beautiful sound...the car is very fast as well.

[sdlausen]

haha, I like the Z but it doesn't drive me wild, fail...

[Kokoa1337]

Wow! 28k only. That is about as much as a peugeot 206 here. The 350Z in NL costs about 50k euro which is about 75k $ :(

[pargacastorena]

@Kokoa1337 I would guess costs go up because of the importing process. How about you send me a BMW M5 in exchange for a NIssan 350z.... LOL BMW here in the U.S. are very expensive.

[Hockey4Leafs13]

getting it wen i get my g2 in june!

[mavdrummer754]

i guess its easy these days to review a car as long as you have pictures and video. It's obvious hes never sat in the car and just read wikipedia...

[XMG3]

4 years since I bought my 350Z, and I'm still loving every bit of it ! This car is lets us average poor joes enjoy how a real sports car feels like.

[Oletos7j]

lol average joes

[twshuman]

perhaps joe the plumber?

lol

[parichtang]

No engine problems right?

[amanbatra55]

when did u get ur Z. at wat age and all too?

[killacrossova621]

I'm relaxed buddy, and hold up what did I say that was wrong for you to correct me in the first place ???

I said I have a G35 and its FASTER because I tuned it you dumb Fuck!

[Marscow]

I have an 04. The only thing different with the newer years is more power. And that CAN'T be a bad thing...

I love my Z.

[eskercurve]

Not to rain on everyone's parade, but I wouldn't want to be seen in a car that is named the "Fair Lady" in Japan! Personally, I'd rather take the M3 coupe. That, and I can't stand the sound of the exhaust, and the handling is ... boring. I'd take the BMW or Audi any day. However, if I purely based my decision on money, I'd take this one.

[cliffrex]

You clearly know nothing about cars. People like you deserve german cars.

[69chevyboy]

I got a 84 300ZX but my plans is to purchase the new 370 that is coming out.

[kuala52]

my 350z is so fucking fast omg

[nismortuned350z]

since i layed my eye on this car like 4 years ago i was determined to get it and since than ive been waiting for it and i still am some hwo i can never get sick of this car :D

[killacrossova621]

I just got my infiniti G35 coupe 2005, pretty much the same thing but FASTER!

[rileybrigden]

your dumb. 1. when then the VQ35 (that's your engine went from 2005 to 2007 it went from 287 hp to 305. (in the 350Z). there fore even if you had a 350Z it would be slower. The G35 features a de-tuned version of the 287hp engine which is around 260 something hp. O and wait whats that it's also heavier and has softer suspension. Therefore the G35 is basically the car for men who will damage their aging backs if they try to drive a true sports car.

[killacrossova621]

Suck a cock cause I could give two shits what the fuck you got to say, so pathetic sitting their typing tryna sound smart in a desperate need of friends

[rileybrigden]

Well first off I was just correcting you so relax. Secondly I have a life and plenty of really good friends thank-you very much. Correcting someone is not pathetic. Reprimanding someone who has corrected you buy insulting them without even being creative about the insults is.

[ziveon]

calm down guys, we are here to love the cars, not to hate each other ;).... wait, did I sound like a pussy there? lol

[adamjaw123]

i have an 08 350z and let me tell you, the fucker is very fast.

[nismortuned350z]

haha gratz n lucky

[Camilookb]

i love my Z, its a monster!

[OnyxBIade]

I WANT IIIIIT!

In dark grey. Isn't it manual? I can't drive manual yet. hahheheheheh

I will learn for this car.

[nismortuned350z]

OMG SAME HERE Nice Dark Grey with dark interiour and manuel also loll

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Cheap as fucking chips BADASS! monster of a car.. and when you've grown up a bit.. turbocharge the damn thing to oblivion.. GOTTA LOVE NISSAN FOLKS!!

[PFCTurner311]

i just test drove the 350z, and i really liked it. its a fun car. i test drove the stang...that was just a big fuckin dissapointment though lol everything u touch just feels cheap on the inside.

[JoshvanHulst]

I love my Z... frickin' badass car!!!

- Josh

[quuaa1]

Affordable my aching ass. It costs twice that in Canada.

[irnlxkjoe]

its Definately not the most affordable, but i still LOVE IT

[Arfiande]

it still looks the same like other 350z

[06xb9r]

they showed the wrong interior

[neetfif]

is this a guy car for somebody that just got their license?

[neetfif]

*good..not guy

[irnlxkjoe]

that depends on if YOUR the person or if your get'n it for someone....i wouldnt buy this car for a kid that wont appreciate the value of it...its got a little too much power for a kid that didnt buy it and will Probably get in an accident.....buuuut thats just my whole look at it

[morgangamer22]

COOL
