20 Years of the 350Z - has it aged well?
Discussion
I think they still look and sound great, I would have bought one were it not for the tiny boot.
I often wonder if that massive strut brace was really necessary, given that so many of its contemporaries do without one.
It looks really cool, but it was a total blocker to me buying one as a daily driver. I went for an Audi TT 3.2 instead, because the folding rear seats gave me carrying capacity when I needed it.

I think they've aged extremely well.
Took me 3 attempts before I bought one. Test drove a new one but couldn't part with my Alfa GTV. Few years later found a used one in my choice of colour, orange with orange trim, but everyone told me I'd never be able to sell it in that colour so I bottled it. A couple more years and I ended up with a nice blue one.
Have to say I don't think it compared to my earlier 300 ZX TT, but although that perhaps hasn't aged well it's worth few quid now.

How does it compare to the old school Gtv? Miss it?Took me 3 attempts before I bought one. Test drove a new one but couldn't part with my Alfa GTV.

I think it has aged quite nicely, more so than the 370Z which I’ve never really liked and found a bit unresolved (sorry Lee 
).
I agree with the comment about the front looking a bit weedy compared to the muscular rear, though the HR bonnet line improves this a lot.
I also like the rear lights. Unconventional, certainly, but not unattractive.

I think so, I was driving ours the other day and it struck me how well screwed together it feels inside. Aside from the usual Jap car rust issues underneath it's still a very nice car to drive. Quick enough, comfy, makes a good noise and handles well enough. It's not the be-all and end-all in any category but they still look like nothing else on the road and stand out well.
