How do base model Nissan 350z's do in the rain?

Question

As I understand it the higher end ones have good trac control, but the base models don't. I'm looking for a fair priced reliable car with a half way decent warranty and a ton of power. These struck me. I'd go for the WRX STi or Evo, but the price is a bit high.

Answer 1

Just depends if the rear tires are bald. Good tires the Z runs Thur water well. Just don't drive in deeper than 6" of water. the 350z will be around a long time after the Mitsubushi and Sube are blown up and gone.

Answer 2

i guess it depends on the kind of rain thats pouring ...  the Nissan 350's base model cant be pushed too much in the rain.. there are higher chances of a slip and the reason of course is that it doesnt have trac contrl.

Answer 3

They are RWD so they are still slippery and you need to drive more carefully in rain.

My frined has the base model and it has traction control that he can turn On and Off. I have driven it.

The STI and Evo are much faster cars and more practical too, but the cost to buy and insure are higher. And they are safe with the AWD.
