350z
My sister is looking at getting a new car and she has fallen in love with a 350Z. I don't know much about them, so educate me please!
She is looking in the 04-06 range. Is there anything to stay away from? Known things to be weary of? She really wants a convertible-how is the roadster version?
Thanks!

Z is a great car. The roadster is fun to toss around.
The interior is And feels very cheap. Not terrible though. The 370z very much improved this 100x over.

She had a G37S, which is a very similar, but nicer car. Why change? A vert up north will be the suxor.
Oh is it in the genetics to need the new car?
sorry had to give you the poke 
in the ribs
synth had his all modded out before he sold it, I am sure he would be a great source

My friend's 03 350Z has the aforementioned camber issues and the synchros complain when he tries to downshift before the tranny is all warmed up. I believe they fixed the synchro issue in 05 or 06, though I'm not sure if they ever fixed the camber problem.

Get the latest 350Z model you can to avoid the above mentioned problems.

Most of the VQ engines burn some oil. Not a lot, but some. Every VQ engine I have owned and I'm on #4 have burned a little.
I think the G is a lot better than the Z. That's just my opinion.

The G coupe are longer...not made for the track like the Z...specially the new 370z since it went even smaller (a nice change of pace for the way car growth has been managing generation changes)
Top that off...the G35C is still WAAAY better than the G37...its like the designers made the most awesome car first...then followed it up with what looks like it might have been the first gen design.
I do not like the G37 coupe...step in the wrong direction.

She has found an 04 with 50k miles. Very clean car, just an auto. I hear that the auto is ok-is this true?

yeah my friend's 03 Z went thru 3 transmissions in 6 months because they kept giving him ones with bad synchros.
