did the owner really try to fix the paint on the inside of the door with a sharpie!!!?? lolllllllllll
Justin Dorsey lol that's ridiculous
I just peeled mine off and I'm going to put something like a carbon fiber wrap on it
+David Chang wrap
+Andres Martinez That's a-peeling.
Justin Dorsey I'm still dying at how fucking awful that "touch-up" job is 😂😂😂
i dont want to hear the word "cubby" ever again
cubby
I read this comment before I watched the video, I understand your pain, like holy shit guy, you can use more than cubby to describe a storage unit.

The little smirk he gets everytime he says "alright so we're coming up to this backroad here" is hilarious
Then he busts a nut
Excellent review. The 350Z is a life improving car. I got one a year ago and I haven't stopped smiling since.
You still have it with you?
Update
Thats how i feel and i just got mine lol
@@nachoyoutube3378Getting mine next weak, can't wait!
@@azraelitegraal2538 congrats!! Its been bout 2weeks for, everytime i get out the car.. walking away i look at it lol
Just bought one of these! 2008 58,000 miles...... absolutely in love!
TeamEpsilonRacing for how much?
*****
not true. the hr is lame and you cant mod it as good as a de.
19DaRiO95 I thought the HR holds up better to mods than the DE...
RedLineRevs
nope. it will get way more expensive, there are less tuning parts, ...
the VQ35 is a worthless engine anyway...
*****
atleast i made the experience my own since i own a 350z.
This has to be the best car review I have ever seen. The look of joy on your face while driving the 350z is priceless. Talked me in to buying a Z.
I must have watched this video at least five times now. Can't wait until I get mine :D
Is the model he tested a Touring? didn't catch what style it is from the video
+Neil Wright I think it is
+Neil Wright yeah bro
You get yours yet? I've had one for about a year now, awesome car. I have some videos up of mine if you're interested
Getting an 07 tomorrow :)
Am I the only one who likes the 350 than the 370?
I also prefer the 350Z over the 370. Drove both,the 350 to me feels more fun and is a better value. 359 all the way.
i prefer 350z too ;)
Me too dude
Yeah 370 is ugly.
Nahh 350 is better, they should’ve kept the production going for the 350z for at least another few years
I was 10 years old when the 350 came out and it instantly became my favorite car.....I'm now 21 and nothing has changed! Buying my first one very soon :) Awesome review by the way!!
Dude...literally exact same here lol
Ever get it yet?
Hope you got it friend and have had a blast. Was my favourite car as a kid, got mine when i was 25. Never ceases to make me smile when i drive it.
Happy 27-28 years old
wow I cannot believe how much you love the Z. Didn't see that coming haha
you actually commented lmao
Why did we all just notice this comment?
Tj Hunt has a crush on SUBARAUWARAXMFAN. BRZ - BRZ. 350Z - 350Z.
Yo TJ wtf this was like 4 years ago lol that’s when you first had the brz
Tj Hunt brotha the Z is the shit, you gotta adventador now but get back on that Z, especially with this whole quarantine shit brotha. good content
That smile on the face when he drive it :D
Thanks love the car nice
My gf and I just bought an 05, metallic yellow convertible with only 20k miles on it for about 10kUS up here in Calgary Alberta!!! 6 speed, near mint!!! We cannot be happier!!! Long live the Z!!!!!
I just bought a 2003 350z touring and I gotta say I love it. What I love even more is that I snagged this beauty at a cool 6.5k. There is nothing I could have gotten better for ghe money
***** It's been checked out by a mechanic, I don't need a new transmission. Tires are aftermarket with plenty of tread
+Tyler Hough how's this car ? eats a lot of gas / oil ?
Yellow Waffle only rev up versions 300hp. The 280 and 313hp don have this problem
I'm saving and hoping to grab one in spring. I don't wanna drive boring, sub 100 hp cars yet. These cars aren't getting any younger, 2017 is the last shot to get one for couple of years of enjoyment, before I settle down.
Time flies, you're suddenly having a family and regretting for not getting one, when there was a chance years ago. Regret would feel much worse than wasted money on gas to me.
You got the car?
+Daud I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
Sub 100hp? lol dude all these regular cars are fast nowadays.
@@DigitalSubset, regular cars really aren't "fast" they aren't engineered to be fast. They are engineered to be the best of everything
PizzaPlaysBlitz WoT I know but I’m saying most are designed to be sporty in a way. Even economy cars have a sport mode mine does it’s not the fastest but it’s not slow 2017 sonata sport
This video was the one that really swayed me to purchasing my 350. Had it for almost a year now and I love it.
I'm glad the video helped you!
Lol I just got the deal of a life time, 2006 350z 50k miles for 8k
+Cameron Clark I have an 06 350Z touring with around 50K. I'd like to think my car is worth more than 8k, but congratulations!
I got a lowered 2003 350z with a borla exhaust 15k miles and drift rims and tires for like 6k!! And yes I am 13 and afforded a car by saving for 5 years and help by grandes and my dad! So yah!!!
+Consumer Reports awesome bud I'm 18 and I'm getting my 2006 twin turbo z next week so hype
+Consumer Reports OMG dude I want to be you, I'm 16 years old and I'm also saving for a 350Z, but it's hard to get your hands on one here in Belgium, and do you really already own one at the age of 13? that's crazy! I'm so jealous right now :P
+Cameron Clark O_O NEVER SELL IT! (Or sell it to me!)
Cmon Matt, this review makes me change all plans for a mustang in my future and want to get a 350 lol, awesome review as always
dude im grinning from cheek to cheek watching your solid review bc as a 350z lover myself, i appreciate at how much you've grown to love this monster. SOLID REVIEW!!
I'm the same too. I have my 350z and it's just the right car. I like the review. Every time you drive a Z you want it and especially the 350z. The 370z is nice but the 350z is just right. The more you drive the 350z the more you will love it. It's just you and the car. That's how I finally understand why they didn't care to put back seats in the car. It's just all about the bond between car and the driver. :)
I love how he gets soo happy when he revs it 😂
I have an 04. Great review, you touched on a lot. Only contention.... you drove the 370Z in the rain, which is why the road noise was so bad. The 350Z is just as bad. Often in the rain, I will damn near pull over to see if something is wrong. They skimped on sound insulation for sure, lol.
And yea, the BRZ is precise as hell, but it's precise beyond what you can use on the street. The Z has the perfect balance of power, comfort and precision. I love mine.
drink every time he says cubby
This video was a big reason that I bought my 2003 350Z after tens of months researching my next car purchase. I love it. Thank you!
This is has been my dream car since forever and I’m glad to see it puts a smile on your face!
First off, great new into! I love it man.
Second, as an owner of a 350Z I can completely agree with you, this car is stunning. It does nothing but put smiles on my face constantly. A very good car for the money, I love mine so dearly. I also think it fits you very well, I'm not sure but I get a good vibe from it. Definitely try and find you one!
im 21 and I have all the money I need... now I need to a find a clean 07 or 08 touring manual... patience is virtue though...
Just check all the used auto sites. Edmunds, auto trader, cars.com keep looking every day. As you said. Patience is a virtue. Eventually you'll get it. There's a couple good ones near me and just yesterday 5 of them were updated for sale. So just keep looking lol
+KevTheHunter1 blasted new York is killer because it's a popular winter vehicle state. I have one dude selling for 16k, but maybe I can talk him down more. it's almost been a month but I'm wearing him down doing the whole talk once a week
+Richard Gollen i am doing the same but i recommend the 06 rev-up track model (it comes with r 34 gtr brake package ) you save around 3000 dollars on average over the 07/08 and that will get you a tune and nice wheels and honestly will pawn the 07.... i am waiting till October before starting my project
+BUILDSforDRIVING I would but it's also gonna be my only car in New York. lol gotta get it ready for snow next year. I wanna do some snow drifting
lol sounds fun ..i am Australia not much snow
Firstly Matt and his motoring channel is superb, but this review is one of the reasons I purchased my 350z back in 2014 and have absolutely loved the driving experience ever since. The 350z is such an amazing car. UK Z Owner.
bro
because of your review, i bought the 350z and i Love it
thank you soooo much
Omg, the intro is too cute, he's so enthusiastic
Good review! I owned a 2007 350z for about 4 years and I must say it's quite more of an improvement over the 06 and below and definitely worth the extra penny. In my opinion a 350z 06+ is the best bang for you buck if you're in the market for a sports coupe. I now drive a 2015 WRX and although it suits me better for my daily driving and needs, I will forever miss my 350z and i plan to get another one in the future.
Brandon Aristizabal nah
I love how after a few hours all your previously stated complaints disappeared! I just got an 03 and I absolutely love it
I remember looking through a magazine in 2002 and seen an ad for the brand new 350z I fell in love with the design. Been my top 5 cars to own for years. Beautiful car.. I own a gti,but have a family. Maybe one day.
Liking the new intro! Great review and IMO I wouldn't mind seeing you doing weekly updates in one of these bad boys.
They really are a great car to drive. Ive had mine about 6 weeks and love it, best driving car ive ever had.
You finally put to words how I feel about my 2006 350Z which I got brand new 14 years ago, now it has 51,700 miles. . It sat in my driveway for more than a year and three days ago my brother-in-law helped me with new battery and oil-change. Now my 350Z has been my work car as it did 14 years ago. This is truly a fun car. The bonus part is it reminds me of my youth lol. Btw I got the same smile like yours whenever I'm driving mine. Thank you Matt.
Picking mine up Monday. I have wanted one of these cars since they came out. So excited!
this guy look like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead.
esp. at 7:19
J.Lethal 😂😂😂
J.Lethal hahahahahahahah
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha im dead
Damn at 7.19 I clearly saw the similarities 😂😁
because of this ill be picking up an 06 350z on monday...
UR 5TEP DAD 4 years later, I’m doing the same thing
Insert Name Here how’d you like it
Have you still got it? If so what's it like? In 15 and it's my affordable dream car
Another thing, great intro! Perfect car selection (glad it included the 2015 Subaru STi, that was a must lol). Perfect length of the intro, and it was the perfect volume too. Definitely is your best intro yet.
Hey man I've recently started to watch your videos as a result of trying to find my first car and they have been a great help. Keep up the great work!
Good review man. Your review makes me want this car too lol
This generation was the last of the simple good looks for the Z cars. 350 and under were beautiful.
This is the only video I can find that gives a good, in-depth review of this car. Thanks!
Coming up on five years of owning mine, and it's an '06 Touring model too, and it makes me smile to hear the things that I love about my car.
Love my 2007 350z. Sure it has a few minor aggravations, but for the price it has been a reliable fun car to drive. Even the stock power is awesome because of a great engine. The door handles break because of cheap plastic, seat belt light will come on due to loose connections, top won't go down due to worn elastic straps, etc. But most repairs are relatively inexpensive and often can be done by the owner with You Tube video assistance. Great car for a great price!
Thanks to this review i just purchased my 2003 350z touring 6mt in brickyard red with 87000 miles on it for $8365. It is my first car and i absolutely adore it. This review and your s2000 review made me go out and test drive both and i came home with the Z. Thanks Matt!
+Jacob Kaplan should've got the s2k. 350z's don't hold their value for shit, especially a 2003.
Good choice
Jay Bosslingo wrong, they do. S2ks are also slower
Jacob Kaplan hell yeah man! I’m saving up for a Z rn
Thanks for your review, Matt! This video actually helped me decide to buy a 2007 model. I would like to add, for those watching, that the subwoofer in this particular car is where the factory Bose was actually located. (which sounds amazing, by the way) Overall, one of my favorite UA-cam videos. These cars definitely make you smile.
Just bought one of these 1 year ago 2005 revup std 300k miles new engine transmisssion chasis still running strong 💪 good review man
YES YES YES. I'm sooo frikkin excited because of this review. Thanks Matt for the review. Right now I'm saving up to buy a Nissan 350z for my first car. I really can't wait. Thanks again Greetings From Hungary.
Have you got the car?
The number of times "cubby" was used gave me a chubby
I really like this guys pure love for cars. So positive too. Keep up the great work.
I've been daily driving mine for over a year now (except when there's snow) and I love driving it everyday. The driving position is just soo perfect.
I have a 2001 Mustang GT and i really want a 350Z to be my next ride awesome review just makes me want it more now lol
Tired of hitting crowds?
I much prefer the 350z over the 370z
Your best review ever! You talked me into test driving one and I had to buy it on the spot.
Dang.. I'm getting a 350z tomorrow and this review made me even MORE excited to get it. Awesome review, I'll tell you how I like the car!
Amazing car. Bullet-proof engine
Not what I been reading
03 350z models apparently had a common oil leak issue with the VQDE35 engine. But my budget now, I could only afford the 03-05 models. Screw the oil leak, the engine/exhaust sound is one of a kind.
Love the new casting Mike looks GR8 in spectra green!! Great Job! Keep it up!
I just bought a yellow 35th anniversary edition 350z with less than 35k miles on it and got it for around 10 grand. I can't wait to register it and bring it home! :D Love your vids man, keep it up. Been a real og. been here since the brz
Dream car !!!🙏
Love the new intro! The 350Z fits you really well. But constructive critisism. If you want your reviews to look proffesional, please do not wear flip flops..
I like his flip flops...
Talking about "professional" you cant even spell the word..
I come from Sweden so excuse me for not being able to spell some English words. And he is the one doing the reviews and wanting to grow bigger, not me. So get your wise-guy comments somewhere else.
I love wearing flip flops and changing gears. Feels more open and relaxed so I can enjoy the car more.
Yeah man, I mean I honestly only trust reviews where they wear a fill body racing suit with a full race harness and fire resistant clothing... I mean who does this guy think he is? Wearing everyday clothing on a public road...
I love your enthusiasm when accelerating 👍🙌
bought mine two years ago. Been my dream car ever since i was little. As a first car i couldn't ask for more. I just wanted to say think this was a great review. You hit all the good and bad points. You made a really fair review which i rarely see. Nice job!
drive a 300zx twin turbo that'll put a smile on your face
BTW im a 2006 350z owner and if your gonna buy im highly highly highly recommending buying 07+ NON base model. everything but the base model has an Excellent LSD the base models have open difs i believe. 07+ for the VQ35HR you want the HR. high reving slightly more horsepower on paper but its more than that. plus much better for moding and getting power out of
Picking mine up tomorrow, very excited.
Love the new intro Matt!!!!! If you want to own it go for it. We will all still support you and it would be nice to see you in something more sporty but don't forget the mini is still good. I know you're probably not getting a new car right now but it's still always an option.
Nice review....I owned my 06 Z for 8 years and never once missed 3rd gear, I thought it shifted great. Also my interior wasn't all chewed up like that wow lol, did freddy krueger own that car? Clutch engaged a little high, but you get used to it. Miss my Z..... had several mods done to it...Recently sold it to by a lifted Tundra. Looking forward to the next Z car
Im thinking about getting one of these its about time i treated myself to a decent car
Hell yeah
Mine friend... you have just convinced me to buy one of these bad boys... thank you for this review.
I saw this video few years ago only came back to see how acceleration excites you again and again. :)
Damn, i always ruled out 350z because of the insurance costs but you're making me not care lol. I'll have to drive one. I drove a g35 and that thing was ON POINT. I can only imagine what less weight and no back seats is like... yeah i need to go drive one right now.
PioneerDC4 look into a g37 coupe :D
Insurance cost is worth it, but really any sports car is going to be more expensive.
i watched this review which made me like the 350z a lot, so i did a insurance quote with my 16 year old son on it and it was exellent compared to the camaro zl1 he wants me to get him. i might introduce him to a 350z.
paul merlino If you love your son make him work for his first car
paul merlino
If you love your son don't give him 300 rwd horsepower with snap oversteer.
Get a 350z!!! The Minis been alot of hassle for you already. I'm hopefully getting a z in a few months :D
Watching this review and those accelerations made me want to hop in my 350z!!! (At 2 am lol) Glad to see you love the car and gave it such a great review, it deserves it! Awesome car. Get one man!!!
Congratulations for your review we can feel your passion and it's a great car for sure.
I just about died when you said it starts getting weird where you said there's no glove box so there's that tiny little compartment to put change in. I have this same car and that is literally the most awkward thing. It's so small I can't even fit my hand in it and I'm a 17 year old girl. Have fun getting that change out. Lol
EndlessSky on other Z's cars it has a cup holder in it
You need to drive an 07-08 Z. Nissan fixed the trans issues with the 07-08 & they shift a lot smoother. Also you get more power & a 7500rpm redline
I love my 07 Z
Agreed, I had an 03 and then an 07 350z. The 07 is perfect. They do have a "heavy" feel but the power is nice (not too much but fun). The styling is holding up ok too.
The transmission issues were actually fixed in 2006 with the CD009 transmission. Prior cars had issues with synchros going out prematurely. The only difference between the 2006 and 2007-08 transmissions are the 07-08s have an internal slave cylinder (that was known to fail prematurely).
frostydc4 I know this is an insanely late response, but for anybody reading comments who sees this, this car has the same trans as the later models. The only difference between a 2006 and 2007+ is the engine itself. They have more power, a higher redline, etc. But it's the same interior, trans, and the outside is the same except for the hood.
Brilliant review mate,i loved your enthusiasm and how much you were enjoying the accelaration and that car sounded great to when you booted it,im in the middle of looking to change my car and i think i might just go for one of these now,i live in England and you can get a really nice one for around 5 grand. Really enjoyed your review thankyou.
You've gotten a lot better. This is an excellent review.
the Zs are some great rides and Nissan has steadily improved it from the 350 to the 370. my cousin used to let me drive his 2009 370z touring. The only gripes I have are:
1) There's no reason why Nissan can't make this car sub 3000lbs. In that sense, it's not a proper sports car, but more of a grand tourer. You really feel the weight during braking and cornering.
2) Factory-engineered understeer by Nissan - compared to other RWD "sports cars." For "safety purposes" - ostensibly done due to not trusting consumers with a high hp/torque RWD car. It's understandable, but kills alot of the fun in taking corners.
3) Slight throttle lag as Matt referenced in his 370z review. Also, the shift throw is still a bit mushy and long for my taste.
I would love a 2.0T version of the BRZ - I'd jump on that in a second, would even trade in my S2000
what year is your model? The one I drove was their first release '09. Also, I did not notice a TCS or VSA button - can you turn those off?
The throttle response in my 07 is immediate. Never noticed understeer either.
Tell us about the cubbys. You never really mentioned them.
I bought my 350z because of this video. It's a 2003 with only 65k miles. I just love it!!!!! Tks a lot!!!!!
Hi Matt awesome car review as usual. Been following for awhile now. You do a very good job briefly covering aspects about the car. The only thing I would like to see added in your checklist is a view of the motors, maybe pop the hood every now and then. That's just a personal preference I'd like to add, thanks.
Getting one tmrw :)
How is it?
+Toren Thompson I got a twin turbo Bmw bro
+Mwahooli Jr well how is that
Getting a 350z tomorrow, gets a twin turbo Bmw. How does that work?
was the 335i reliable so far?
if only you got this 350 instead of that mustang...
Thanks for the review, just went ahead and brought a 2005 red 350z in the UK. I think i am in Love.
This dude you can tell love cars and his smile made my night better
I highly recommend doing a review of a 2007-08 350z. They had the HR engine, which was racier and revved to 7500 RPM, like the 370z. I owned an 05 and an 07. They were both fantastic, reliable, and incredibly satisfying to drive. I too prefer the 350 over the 370.
Can't beat the 370 back-end though.
Tell me more about the DE vs HR, what's the biggest differences. I'm thinking about getting a Z.
Reese davis The engines share the same displacement, but they use different blocks. The DE is the same block used in a lot of Nissan/Infiniti vehicles. They redline at 6600 or 6700 RPMs, and have a 10.3:1 compression ratio. It's a really good engine, but doesn't hold up to high horsepower (over 450ish) without replacing a lot of parts.
In 06, they had the "rev-up" engine. That's basically a slightly reworked DE with a 7000 RPM redline. They tend to be more prone to oiling issues.
The HR started in the 07 model year. It uses 80% new parts, versus the DE. They rev to 7500 RPMs, and have a 10.6:1 compression ratio. They hold up very well to boost and high horsepower. The HR has a dual air intake setup as well.
Dual throttle bodies too.
+Reese Davis are you still thinking about getting one? If so drop a comment on one of my videos, I can tell you a lot about the differences if you want. I've had mine for about a year
I am 19, and just got my 350z, youngest owner in the UK I think! You should definitely look into getting one. The engines are bullet proof and some have gone 200,000 miles easily and are still just as reliable. If you have a de-cat exhaust system like mine in my video, you will find it difficult not to make a lot of noise!
You are truly a joy to watch. Some may take the mickey with the way you react to the hard accelerations you do, but I really admire how enthusiastic you are and the joy the cars you review bring to you, always makes me smile.
PureCombustion also 19, getting mine next week hopefully. Are you insured through Adrian Flux?
That's a really nice looking Z! I didn't know about the engine and exterior tweaks from the refresh, seems to be very well thought out of. Great review!
Your face says it all when you test the acceleration! I'm definitely buying a Z but unsure if I want the 370 or 350!
9:36 made me giggle
What's up with him and the hand gestures
hahah
100% of his videos thumbnails are with this guy making practically the same hand gesture it drives me nuts! He also gets super excited when he goes fast which is understandable except the fact that 350z's and Si's are slow lol
SuperJoeTendo people tend to do that when they explain stuff
Solid review this helped me buy my first 350z I'm at 130k miles now and no problems. Still turns on as strong as it did when I first got the car. I beat this car everyday lol this car is a champ. Ps I'm moving on to the 370z soon .
I love your enthusiasm haha it makes the vid really fun to watch :)
every single time this dude floors a car his face is classic lmao!
looks way faster than it really is. i remember when i was young i thought this was like so stupid fast it could beat any car out there even race cars. now know just how slow it really is. not saying its slow but well its not the fastest car out there hell its not the fastest car Nissan makes. but the thing i love so much about this car is that you can mod it and bam its the fastest car around. this car is defiantly the voice of a generation. its a every day driver sports car and it does it really well.
"Now just know how slow it really is" ... "Not saying it's slow" ok there smart one
+alex brewer You drove one? I thought they are plenty fast, handle fantastic, are a great low cost performance car and a great used buy.
ok next to a mustang. its fast. next to a viper or ferrari its slow. thats what im trying to say. if all you have drived in the past is econobox's this thing is crazy fast.
Are you serious dude?Of course a fucking v10 viper is gonna smash on a v6.What kinda statement was that?"Well put a 10 grand car next to an 80grand car and it's nothing in comparison." ???????????
sayimscum1 give me a 2jz inline 6!! with another 20k 😎I'll take out a viper
Thank you for the review! I ended up with an 06 touring and LOVE it :)
the pure joy on his face when he drives is amazing
