Looks great, but ....
The interior is seriously dodgy, and I mean quality and not design. I drove one a few weeks ago, superb! Handling and oomph were excellent and an exhaust note made in heaven, BUT the interior ...... should have spent some more cash there. Felt cheap, and was in a bad way in the car I test drove. Saying that I would love one!
Enjoy a top car!

Got one too Matt - identical to yours (didn't I see these pictures posted on www.350zuk.com ? 
) Not as raw as an Impreza, nor quite as quick, but a pleasure to look at and a joy to drive - enjoy it
Sorry, but got to disagree with Mossman about the interior.
It's not up to German quality, but it's miles better than my MY00 Scoob.
In my opinion, it's as good or better than you would expect on a £24K - £28K Japanese car. Maybe the test drive example was in a bad way? My one is seven months old (and I'm not a cleaning/polishing addict) and still looks like new. No annoying dash squeeks either.... which is nice

I also have to disagree about the comments on the interior - I cannot fault it in one way.
As mentioned before, the exhaust note is absolutley fantastic, and I haven't even been over 4k revs !
Its definately not a car you'd want if you don't want to draw attention to yourself - the looks you get are
PS RichS - you may have seen those pictures elsewhere

You do get a lot of looks, which is quite nice sometimes, quite worrying at others.
I didn't go for my first colour choice, Azure Blue, as I thought it would draw too much (unwanted) attention. Pity really, maybe I should have...

How much do they start at?
There is only one engine / performance level available - 3.5 litre V6 276bhp. Excellent Brembo brakes all round, rear wheel drive, great handling (except for the rather lardy weight) etc etc etc....
Another £2.5k adds the GT pack, which comprises of heated electric leather seats, cruise control and the Bose sound system (like Matt has).
Another £1k adds the 18" RAYS forged wheels, like Matt has. (The standard wheels are nice too and are also 18", but the RAYS are better, and lighter.)
Add about £350 for metallic or black paint, although I think the Chilli Red is the only one which isn't metallic or black.
Add in a few hundred (or thousand) for extras like 350Z mats, luggage net, sat nav, "orange" leather, parking sensors etc etc etc

Very very nice, my first choice of sporty motor at the moment, and it just so happens that you buying it comes at the same time that we are launching our performance and styling section for the 350Z! Loads of stuff being added daily!

Very nice mate! 
I nearly bought one. I was offered the Top of the Range 'Gran Turismo' edition with leather buckets and 18" 'Rays' alloys for £20k! So nearly bought it, but went for another Scoob instead.
The interiors typical cheap Jap crap though! (cant say much coming from a Scooby though!)
