First Impressions of the Nissan 350Z for 2005
The 350Z Touring is equipped with a Nissan 3.5 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Nissan 6-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Nissan.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 350Z comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the 350Z Touring are 71.50 inches wide by 169.40 inches long. It sits 51.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 104.30 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The standard warranty period for the 350Z is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $36,100 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $33,010. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2005 350Z is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.
The 2005 350Z gets 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 19 - 20 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.
We Think...
The 2005 model year was telling year for the Nissan 350Z. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Touring version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
