I've had my Z 2.5 years and love every minute of it. Added a rear spoiler and a front lip greddy spoiler. Gives a much better look to the car.

I purchased a 2005 non-anniversary edition Silverstone 6 speed Grand Touring 350Z about 2 months ago. I test drove the anniversary edition with 300HP and mine is straight up faster. 13 fewer horse, but more torque. It is a ROCKET!! I love the leather, the gauges, the headlights and the looks from other drivers. I just turned 30 years old and this is my first REAL sports car. I love EVERY minute of it. Though don't expect a sedan like G35 ride in this. You'll be disappointed. It's a mean sports car with big wide tires and you hear and feel the road, but what an absolute blast to drive!! The thing takes off like a Saturn five and corners like it's on rails. Plus 20 mpg city and 27 Highway. 350Z, there is no substitute.

Good to see an objective review that covers everything inside and out. I just bought a brand new 2008 350Z a couple days ago and I love it. Coming from a 500hp Mustang GT I didn't expect to be as happy with this car as I am, but it sure moves for a V6! The suspension is tight and feels solid unlike the cow that was my mustang.
I do have a couple complaints though: I don't think the dealer properly balanced the tires during the PDI (I specifically asked them to) because I have a little shimmy in the steering wheel, intermittently at various speeds, as well as a slight pull to the left. Nothing a simple alignment/balance can't fix and it will be under warranty.
Also, the throwout bearing, while normal, is VERY loud and could be unnerving to someone who doesn't know anything about a manual transmission.
Only thing I'd say about the above review is that the manual definitely does not cost more; it is about $1200 cheaper.

I have owned my 350 for about 5 months now and I couldn't be happier. As long as you keep in mind that you are buying a sports car and are not expecting a sedan, there is nothing to be disappointed about.
Also, on the open highway, I easily get 28mpg cruising at 70mph.
