Nissan's hot 350Z coupe rekindles the glory days when the Z-car was king. After a hiatus from our shores, the Z returned in 2003 as a stylish performance coupe capable of running with (and in some cases outrunning) cars costing twice its price. The current model has changed little from the 2003 version and remains a high-powered, two-seat terror offering lightning-quick performance, razor-sharp handling and a price tag most find quite reasonable. A sometimes jarring ride (a tradeoff for superior handling) and limited storage space are probably the 350Z's biggest downsides.
