Nissan 350Z Roadster 3.5 Review: Ever watched "A Knight's tale"?

We never took the 350Z roadster seriously until now, and we have good reason to do so. When push comes to shove and performance is the key, the Roadster comes close to its Coupe sibling. VERY CLOSE.

Luxurious Z

What you do get in the roadster, however, might surpass equipment levels of the coupe. Our test car had heated leather seats that barely fit (they were comfortable though) my rather wide shouldered, European body.
They come with full, electric adjustability, as well as a 240-watt, seven-speaker Bose audio system with an in dash CD player and navigation system.

There is also a reverse camera, 18 inch alloys, and a glove box that is strangely located behind the passenger’s seat. The storage compartment covers, lower dash and center console, felt as showy as the coupe though.

I loved the real, metal interior door handles as much as the very easy to read instrument cluster. Don’t be fooled by that metal on the steering wheel – they’re actually plastic. Couldn’t tell? Neither could we until the staff of Nissan opened their mouths. It was really high in quality, and was overall reasonably chunky to grip.

Get one if…

You appreciate the joys of open top motoring, and you demand little sacrifice from a convertible. The 350Z Roadster thoroughly surprised us, as it was really very close in terms of all out performance to the coupe.

Quite possibly, you might only get this level of coupe-roadster performance similarities on terribly expensive, top notch European marquees such as Ferraris and Maseratis. We’re not kidding. This car is not to be brushed aside or to be toyed with.
