New 350Z Compared to Vibe

Post by JohnC »

My wife sold her suv and bought the third Z car she has owned. It is a base model. I have to say as far as fit/finish and materials for the whole of both cars the Vibe seems to be at the same level. Pretty good since it cost half of what the Z did.After two years/56k miles I am still very pleased with the Vibe.

Hard to beat the low-end torgue of the Nisssan 3.5L engine - sweet. Especially compared to the Vibe ! The Vibe is no comparison to my Maxima, but I guess they are targeting 2 different audiences.

Comparing a 350Z power to a Vibe is like apples to oranges lol.The dealership company I work for owns Nissan but I work for the Subaru department. Our techs for Subaru get to perform the alignments on nissan vehicles including the 350Z. For some reason they don't have anything good to say about the power of the 350Z compared to say an STi. But I still like how they look
