The Z32 appeared on the scene in 1990 following a long line of fantastic "Z" vehicles, well known for their performance, appearance, and affordability. This generation 300zx also boasted a twin-turbo version outputting a generous 300HP to the wheels, elevating it to the upper echelon of Japanese sports coupes. Although my Z is over 15 years old, it still runs like a veteran thoroughbred and brings me joy every time I see open, winding curves ahead. I would highly recommend it to any automotive aficionado due to its classic styling and impressive performance.

Super fun car. Fast and reliable. Had no trouble out of the car. Mine did not have the twin-turbo, but it was nothing to cruise at about 140 MPH down the interstate. I blew Chevelles off the road in this car. The car was awesome. I recommend this car to anyone looking for a fun weekend car. Find a good mechanic if something goes wrong though. This car is no fun to work on.

The acceleration is wonderful for a girl her age. Clearly still putting up a fight against things released to this day. The car drives like a dream, as you make your thought of hitting the apex, its almost as though she knew. Darting the nose into the turns, you feel a complete sense of control over the slightest motion. I bought mine used, one previous owner, as besides the engine and transmission replacement (which were caused by my very spirited driving), I have not had to outright replace anything. The styling is absolutely remarkable, having won car of the year 10 years running. Mind you, this beauty only was in production for 10 years. As of 2010, GQ Magazine voted it the most beautiful car of the past decades, with subtle lines, beautiful styling, and an emphasis on simplicity. Its gas mileage could use some love, especially with the fact that I've only ever run it on premium, V-Power. Under spirited driving, you will not make it more than a few hundred miles between fill ups. But perhaps with a lighter foot you could manage to squeeze an extra hundred out of that. As far as the fun factor? I can sum my experience up in one word. Wow. Everytime I get behind the wheel, my problems melt away as the suede and leather interior just remind me nothing can bother me in here. Its a little world of pleasantry, where the only problem you can run into is the police.
