Worst/Favourite Features: Excellent bang for buck. It's great fun to drive and makes a great noise. Dislike, as others have said, the fuel consumption and rust in the rear arches. I've also spent a considerable amount on maintenance, including new belts, spark plugs, banana arms, a new clutch, rocker cover gaskets (oil leak), fluids, a burst coolant pipe repair, wheel refurb, and now she's currently in the garage whilst I chase a mystery misfire.

 

There are moments where I think about moving on and getting something a bit more sensible, but then I fire up that glorious V6 and it all goes away!

Bought mine for list (IIRC) in March 2004 - traded for a Polo (for the wife) in December 2010 'cos it was using oil - replaced it with a DB9 - spent lots of money on it during my ownership mainly in finding out what was causing the clunking noise from the suspension ha ha

I had mine for 18 months. Spent £2000 bought for £5200 traded at £3000 for the 370Z Nismo.

 

Banana arms, rocker covers, disc + pads, service much more. Had a few comments at work. But hey ho if youre a petrol head you wont be driving Tom Dick and Harrys collection.

 

Each to their own as they say. One day I might look at a 240Z.

 

Looking at getting another 370Z late next year. Got an itch to scratch with an RCF or LC500 one day but not now. The 350 for me is a better car than the 370Z.

 

Better on fuel, better seating position, sounds better, more rigid and stable, doesnt tramline and still turns heads. The nismo was more of a looker and more refined. 

 

You hear a certain sound turn around and there goes the 350. Cant miss it.

Length of ownership: 3 months

Price paid: £5,000

Spent during ownership: So far, only £70 for an oil change... 

Vehicle Mileage: 105,800

Rating /10: 9/10

Worst/Favourite Features: I love the sound, the power, the equipment, and the all round value for money. Things I'm not so keen on are the easily scratched interior plastics, and the fact there is nowhere decent to rest your arm on the centre console  nothing major really. Fantastic car.
