See also the main fact sheets for the Nissan 350Z.

Gas Mileage

Gas mileage will vary depending upon which trim level you choose. For the 350Z, FuelEconomy.gov reports the following city/highway numbers:

• 350Z Coupe manual - 19/25 mpg
• 350Z Coupe automatic - 19/25 mpg
• 350Z Roadster manual - 19/25 mpg
• 350Z Roadster automatic - 18/24 mpg

Safety

In tests carried out by the NHTSA, the 350Z performed relatively well. It received 5-star ratings for both rollover and front side-impact crash tests. However, these results are somewhat diminished by the fact that no information was available for front-impact or rear side-impact tests.

Reliability and Maintenance

The current generation of the Nissan 350Z was unveiled just a few years ago in 2003. As a result, reliability information is only available for that year's model. The good news is that, according to Automotive Information Systems, the 350Z had no major problems to report and received the organization's highest rating of Green for all categories. Only time will tell if Nissan was able to maintain this high build quality from year to year.
