  For the uninitiated, Nissan's GT-R is a bit of an unusual proposition. It's a big car with a compact cabin, room in the rear seats only for small children or legless adults. It's a heavy car, but one that feels light and nimble, more at home on the

Nissan 350Z used car review - Drive

But these days, as the industry and consumer tastes continue to move forward, some of those retro cars have become a little less desirable. Sometimes it's a case of the whole retro thing wearing a bit thin, other times the cars themselves have shown their true colours over time, and it hasn't always been pretty. One car that wowed us in the day was the reborn Nissan Z-car in the form of the 2003 350Z. The combination of a big, rorty V6 engine, rear-wheel-drive and aggressive looks meant the 350Z was in hot demand back in the day, but now, just over a... In fact, with the replacement of the 350Z in 2009 by the even wilder 370Z, Nissan itself helped take the heat out of 350Z retained values. Nissan eventually softened the suspension as a running change, but in the original version, even the allegedly softer Touring model rode like a dray. That said, the wide track and rear-drive handling characteristics made the car good fun and it was a decent thing for track-days. The only real catch with the rear-drive layout combined with the relatively short wheelbase is that the driveline took up plenty of space, making the car a strict two-seater.

Nissan Z Series & Nismo Tribute - Automoblog.net (blog)

Nissan has come to great lengths with their GTR, but what about the Z lineup. Let’s step back in time with the original 240Z. I would like to give my regards and condolences to his family, Nissan Japan, and Nissan USA with the recent passing of Yutaka Katayama. Yutaka Katayama is also known as Mr. K, who was the original designer of the Nissan S30 (Fairlady Z in Japan and Datsun 240Z in other markets). The Nissan Z has since been established as a great, affordable sports car. In the year of 2003, the Nissan 350Z was released. There were various models ranging from base, touring, enthusiast, track, and finally the Nismo/Autech variant (Super GT inspired aero, special edition wheels, Nismo tuned suspension, seam welded chassis and Yamaha performance dampers). The car went from a standard DE motor (6800 rpm) to a DE Revup (7000 rpm). Not only was this a much better engine ( 306hp, 268 ft-lbs torque ) but featured an even higher red line of 7500 rpm. In addition, the engine also featured a beefier set of connecting rods, ladder type girdle and a larger oil pump gear, hence the increased red line. Source: www.automoblog.net

Mystery leasing of luxe sedan paves way to celeb-studded LA-Michigan drug probe - The Detroit News

Detroit - - A federal grand jury is weighing charges in a case involving a fugitive and a $200,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom that's been leased, stolen, hidden and hunted by federal agents along a digital breadcrumb trail. "This case," said Peter Britton, a lawyer involved in the saga, "is about phantoms. , leased a silver and black 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom with suicide doors. The deal was for one year and $33,000. The deal disintegrated almost immediately. 24, 2010, a month into the lease, an insurance company said her driver's license was phony and canceled her policy. Five months passed and by February 2011, there was still no Phantom, still no "Audrey Cretser. "This car," Oregon car leasing company owner Marty Kehoe said, "just disappeared. High end, high risk. Kehoe, who owns the Phantom, specializes in high-end leases and high-risk clients, a segment he targeted in 2008 after traditional lenders disappeared amid the auto-industry meltdown. The Phantom might have been missing, but the dream car wasn't exactly hiding. Source: www.detroitnews.com

  remarkably wide power and torque bands that ensure quick response whether you're dealing with a tedious commute or out challenging some twisty backroad. Ideally backed by the slick-shifting manual gearbox, the 350Z's electronically controlled automatic sacrifices little quickness in return for its added convenience in stop-and-go traffic conditions. Well-engineered structural reinforcing maintains the Z's sharp handling while minimizing body shake and flex while driver-selectable traction/stability control systems let you take full advantage of the multilink suspension's phenomenal capabilities – although the ride can get a bit choppy on broken road surfaces. There's an equally positive feel to the car's speed-sensitive power steering, and potent anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) add a reassuring measure of stopping security, especially the premium Brembo units on Grand Touring model.

  Review Last Updated: 4/11/13

  The 2009 Nissan 350Z roadster has comfortable seating, a high safety score and a powerful V6.

  The 2009 Nissan 350Z has the same 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine in all three of its trims: Enthusiast, Touring and Grand Touring. Each of the trims either comes with a manual or automatic transmission that get 17/24 and 17/23 mpg city/highway, respectively, which are below average for the class. Reviewers loved the 306-horsepower V6 engine, saying it’s just as strong as competitor’s V8 engines. Test drivers said the clutch on the manual can be tricky, and they recommended drivers who drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic stick with the automatic. Reviewers noticed the 350Z's tight suspension gives it great handling but a bumpy ride. They praised the 350Z for its precise steering.

  Reviewers did not find the cheap-looking interior of the 350Z attractive, but they appreciated the comfortable seats. Many of them commented on the spaciousness of the 350Z compared with other two-seaters in the class. However, don’t expect to fit too much luggage in the 350Z; it only has 4.1 cubic feet of cargo space, with or without the top down. The 2009 Nissan 350Z roadster has standard power seats, automatic climate control, a power soft top, cruise control and a CD player. Available equipment includes satellite radio, heated seats, Bluetooth, navigation, a Bose audio system and leather upholstery.

  The 350Z has a high safety score for the class.

  Other Cars to Consider

  According to reviewers, the 2009 Honda S2000 handles winding roads with ease. With the standard four-cylinder engine, the S2000 gets better fuel economy than the 350Z roadster.  

  The Nissan 370Z replaces the 350Z coupe for 2009. Test drivers loved its sporty handling dynamics, and appreciated the upgrade in interior quality over the 350Z. Automotive reviewers said that Nissan designed the 370Z to accomplish everything the 350Z did not. The 370Z has a higher reliability score than the 350Z.

  Cost of Ownership data coming soon

  There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2009 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Roadster at this time

  2009 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Roadster cost of ownership data is powered by

  Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.

  Regardless of the “value” claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is “what you pay” and the ownership costs are “what you get.”

  Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

  Basic Warranty: The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.

  Drive Train Warranty: In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.

  Roadside Assistance: Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.

  Rust or Corrosion Warranty: Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

  What's New for 2009

  The Nissan 350Z coupe has been dropped -- it's being replaced by the new 2009 370Z. However, the 350Z roadster rolls into 2009 unchanged.

  Introduction

  With all the gee-whiz technology available in today's cars, it's easy to forget the joy that an elemental sports car like a 2009 Nissan 350Z provides. Nope, this car won't give you the weather in Cincinnati or make you a cup of coffee as you drive into work. But the Z has everything you'll need to get a rush no caffeinated beverage could hope to match.

  With its compact dimensions, spirited V6 engine, sharp handling, rear-wheel drive and well-balanced chassis, the 350Z roadster continues to be a sports car in the truest sense. And even though this generation of Z is in its last year, the styling still turns heads. Nissan will be selling the all-new 370Z coupe for 2009 and is keeping the 350Z roadster only until it has the roadster version of the 370Z readied.

  Compared to pricier rivals, such as the Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Porsche Boxster, the 2009 Nissan 350Z lacks polish, both in terms of handling finesse and interior design and materials. It's also not as nimble handling as Honda's S2000. But this is still an affordable and reasonably comfortable sports car that delivers plenty of grins per mile. For its final year, the 2009 Nissan 350Z rides into the sunset with its head held high.

  Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

  The 2009 Nissan 350Z roadster is available in three trim levels: Enthusiast, Touring and Grand Touring. The Enthusiast comes with 18-inch wheels, a power soft top, a wind blocker, a limited-slip rear differential, bi-xenon headlights, automatic climate control, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, full power accessories, power seats and a CD/MP3 audio system with steering-wheel-mounted controls. The Touring model adds leather upholstery, heated seats, an upgraded Bose audio system, satellite radio and Bluetooth. The Grand Touring comes with more powerful Brembo brakes and stability control. There are but two options available for the 350Z roadster: a navigation system and a gray (versus black) soft top.

  Powertrains and Performance

  The rear-drive Nissan 350Z roadster is armed with a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 306 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. Putting the power to the ground is either a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. EPA fuel economy estimates are about average for a six-cylinder sports car; with the automatic transmission, the 350Z checks in at 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined.

  Safety

  Antilock disc brakes, traction control and side-impact airbags are standard across the board. Stability control comes standard on the Grand Touring trim but is unavailable on the others.

  In government frontal-impact crash tests, the 2009 Nissan 350Z roadster received five stars (the highest possible score) for the driver side and four stars for the passenger side. In that agency's side-impact testing, the Nissan received a full five stars.

  Interior Design and Special Features

  The Z's instrument panel features three gauge pods that move with the tilt steering wheel. Unfortunately, the wheel doesn't have a telescoping adjustment. All of the controls a driver might need are close at hand, but some of the materials used in the cockpit seem low-grade for this price range. The roadster's trunk offers just 4.1 cubic feet of capacity. On the upside, the soft top is easy to operate and can be dropped in about 20 seconds. Around town, rearward visibility is poor, as you might expect. Of course, that's a non-issue when the top is dropped.

  Driving Impressions

  The 2009 Nissan 350Z offers performance equal to that of some of the best sports cars available. On a curvy road, the 350Z rewards its driver with a high level of outright grip and balance. The steering is a bit coarse in feel, but otherwise, it's quick and well-weighted. Around town, the V6 is quite docile. Find some open road where you can let it out, and the engine produces an enjoyable and throaty growl. Power delivery is robust and particularly entertaining at higher revs. Although the automatic transmission matches revs on downshifts, a manual transmission brings out the most in the car. The six-speed's shifter feels heavy through the gates, but it's fairly precise and clutch take-up is smooth, though a bit stiff.
