The 350Z Enthusiast is equipped with a Nissan 3.5 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Jatco 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Nissan.

The 350Z uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

350Z Enthusiast Statistics

The dimensions of the 350Z Enthusiast are 71.50 inches wide by 169.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 52.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 104.30 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the 350Z is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 60 months or 60,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $28,510, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2008 350Z's normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 20.00 gallons.

The 350Z Enthusiast received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty five when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 2008 model year was unsuccessful for the Nissan 350Z. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Enthusiast version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
