i daily a 350z at 16 and honestly its pretty cool fast decently reliable no problems yet and gas isnt so bad i say for anyone who wants one to just get one just be careful and treat it nice and it will last
The DE ones are especially more reliable. I have a DE that I daily drive with occasional hard pulls. No complaints. Just keep up with the maintenance and you’ll be good.
@@AlmondSchlatt-jc9on I mean yeah. If you want to build a lot of power then the HR is the way to go. Otherwise, if you want a low maintenance, low cost motor. The DE is still superior in that regard.
This video is awesome, I daily drive my Z and it was definitely a consideration when going to purchase mine on practicality, love watching these videos as it’s taught me a bit about mine.
Back in 2003 my wife and I daily drove our then new Track edition 350z for about 4 years - no probs. We now have a mint condition 2005 350z Anniversary as a weekend toy (re-living our past) but could easily use it full time. Our current daily drives are VW Arteon and a current Alpine A110, both fab cars but I still just love getting the 350 out !!! - Cheers from Brisbane
Hell yeah you can drive everyday it's a car I'm single so I drive mine everyday probably get another 350 soon I'll have two feel like a kid at Christmas getting into it
Have had a 06 c6 , 2012 SS, 05 Gto and now I’m on a 2007 HR and so far it’s been really good to me and the GM cars I had all really had long throws and gears
I use to daily my Z to go to school and its cool to daily. In in opinion I would choose my z over my truck everyday and I would get car sick if I don’t drive my z lol.
i bought a 350z from a dealer it’s a 2003 DE with 88k miles i spent $13,000 on it because it had one owner and was SPOTLESS like interior and exterior, also it’s a brickyard 350 but sometimes i feel like i spent too much on it
I miss my z wish I never sold it just cause it was an automatic!!! But honestly this is a great daily!! My wife and I picked up like 300$ in groceries before!!
I have a 06 auto with 89k miles on it. I always have two cars after I got my z so I only had 20k in 7 years(my other daily’s were 05 civic, 08 manual mustang and now a 23 bronco and also pandemic made me drive less). Every time I drive my z it will make me smile no matter what tranny it has. It’s sensitive, powerful and accurate. Recently I’m doing restoration work, replacing broken plastic parts, interior and exterior paint(and rust spots thanks to rust belt area), weatherstrips due to rubber hardened by UV, give it a wrap and 90k routine maintenance. Almost stock except upgrade struts(not coilover) and trunk lift. I would say it’s more than enough for me to enjoy driving a car
If you really need a back seat just get a G35! I just got a 350z but I haven't been able to drive it yet because it needs some TLC but it's going to be my new daily:) My second car was a g35 and man it was AWESOME!
Man, I've really thought about getting a G35 haha!! Done right, they are so clean!! Plus, like you said, you just can't beat having back seats!! Maybe one coming to the channel in the future! :)
@@JohnnyB. Dude, a G35 would be awesome for the channel. It's really hard to find one that was not abused though. Every street takeover in California has like 50 G35/37 coupe and sedans rolling deep! Definitely one of the most abused cars ever made :/ so sad!
When I worked I drive it daily. I drive it 70 miles a day. Since I no longer work, I only drive it 2-3 days a week. She has 149,850 miles abs is a 2004. Pretty good I think. Runs like she’s new 💙 zoom zoom
I am going to buy a 08 Z I have inspected it and it's well in alright ish shape Still a bit worried about the car cuz sure it's fire,but the repairs ,ohhhhhh
I’m thinking of getting this baby for my first car, not sure if I’ll be driving it everyday, just to school and back and practice, but does 70-90k miles on a used one good for me? What should I look for, possible budget: $11k
Yes! 115k miles is pretty low still, in my opinion. Motor should be good for at minimum 250k! It'll always be hard to know if the previous owner abused it. Check out the buyers guide video I made for things to look for! They usually need new clutches at around 150k miles, but that's about it besides regular maintenance like fluids! Appreciate your comment!
@@kilomedi1099 I got it in Simi Valley on California some old rich guy had it sitting in his garage, he also had a 240z and a porche 911… I should of took the porche instead 😭
Hey Kris! Depends on a few different factors like manual/auto, convertible/coupe, miles, and overall condition. I've seen low mileage(40k or less), mint, stock examples going for as much as 22k! I see the average between $8k-$12k with the mileage ranging from 100k-170k. Hope this helps as a ballpark, I appreciate your comment!!
Cmon on bro be honest this car is bad on gas mileage and premium gas is really expensive. Also really bad blind spot, but there is really nothing like a Z. My 300z was my favorite. The 2003 350 not so much
You sure about that? I mean yes, you can't put half a million or even 250K miles on it and expect zero issues. But compared to most cars, I'd say they are pretty high up there in reliability.
@@tom11zz884 You're comparing Nissan's reliability to car makes of practically legendary status. That's like saying that an R35 GTR is a really slow car* or an ND Miata is a super fast car**. * compared to the Model S Plaid ** compared to a beat up 50HP Nissan Micra
Augh ignorance is bliss!!! 350z in Japan do 400 thousand kilometers without anyyy issues. If you're in America you probably have better quality on fuel! So it should last even more!
Don't worry I had 3 Nissans 90,000 you just breaking the engine in just keep regular oil changes use 93 octane only regular coolant changes filters changed regularly you good for probably over 200,000
Yes / No; depends on your financial situation 🤷♂️ -Yes if you have a high paying job or money is not a problem … or you just don’t have responsibilities / care about saving up. - No if you have a low paying job / trying to save up money. I daily mine cause I love driving it… but I hate pumping gas these days.
Getting a 350Z on Sunday, It'll be my first car and planning to daily drive it.
That's awesome! Getting a 350z as a first car is so cool!! Enjoy that thing, and stay safe out there!
Lyckkyyyy
i just got my 05 350z a month ago (im 16) also my first car. i’ve never been happier honestly.

You said it perfectly! Treat it nice + be careful and you'll be good! Very reliable cars. I appreciate your comment Marky!
Which engine?
Which year
I have an 07 350z. I said yes at first. After putting 20,000 miles on it within the first year, I vote no now.
I completely understand, If you've got as second car, it's nice to be able to keep the miles off the Z! I really appreciate your comment!
Good lord where was you driving. I drive about 8,000 a year
@@Charles-jo8ub 34 miles a day for work, 6 days a week, plus just driving around on the weekends, vacation, etc. lol still too many miles though
Yep I sold mine after having it for a year and got rid of it
@@ksmooth1973why?
I daily drive my z everyday with 138k miles and I’ve had no issues at all. Just a couple oil changes and basic maintenance so short answer yes
Good to hear might be picking one up with 138k this Saturday lol

Awesome. Would love to see your cars if you have any videos on your TH-cam channel.
Hell yeah you can drive everyday it's a car I'm single so I drive mine everyday probably get another 350 soon I'll have two feel like a kid at Christmas getting into it
I daily drive 2005 g35 coupe and 2008 g35 sedan both have 180k+ and they still drive strong!
Have had a 06 c6 , 2012 SS, 05 Gto and now I’m on a 2007 HR and so far it’s been really good to me and the GM cars I had all really had long throws and gears
I don’t daily drive mine but I do get it out once and week to drive her
Makes me jealous watching you drive your see because mine is currently sick
Hope it feels better soon!! I really appreciate you tuning in my friend!
I use to daily my Z to go to school and its cool to daily. In in opinion I would choose my z over my truck everyday and I would get car sick if I don’t drive my z lol.
My z has heated seats and let me tell you is makes a difference in the winter
I’m 17 abt to get a 03 350z for my first car and it’s a 6 speed w 80k miles only for 6300
Good deal
In my opinion, YES
If you have a normal life, I can't not understand why it should be a problem
I agree, love daily driving this thing! Appreciate you man
I cut grass last year with mine works great 👍
Don't forget to occasionally swap out the blades, certain grass can dull them over time! Appreciate you tuning in man! :D
@@JohnnyB. I just used my weed eater and gas can.
watching this video after buying the z as a daily driver >>>
You made the right decision! Love daily driving mine. Enjoy that thing!!
@@JohnnyB. i already love it. such a fun car!
pretty reliable for a sports car daily driver sucks in the snow and rain. If anything The only negative with daily driving is the attention it gets
Get clear front bumper reflectors
350z are great daily drivers

valve covers and oil seals/gaskets. at least for my 04 DE
Thats the least im worried about fuel

$100 a month for 2 cars insurance at 19?!!!
I’m 19 I daily a Mazda 3 currently and em paying $420 a month insurance on 1 car

Hope it goes well! Appreciate you tuning in Dean!
Mikey Musumeci is that you?
Time to upgrade the head unit with a double din😂 better with wireless CarPlay and android auto but wired is a must
If your at higher rpm’s does it use more gas, I average 8 miles a gallon
8???
Yea sadly
Have you replaced your spark plugs/ coils ?
I got a 350z yesterday and the oil is leaking
How much did it cost timo fix?
Man I wish I was paying 100 a month for insurance I’m 19 with a 07 350 with a 93 tune and the cheapest full coverage is like 608 a month lol
