Actually I have purchased 2 Caymans since I got rid of the Z. The first was an '08' manual. I then drove an '09' with PDK and PASM and traded the '08' in on the '09'.

The original plan was to buy a Nizmo when it came out. My sales guy new I wanted one. This gets back to the original point of Nissan's costs.


Then the solution for Nissan is simple. Let the journalists drive the car on the highways.


I'll give you the rear main seal. I replaced 2 on my 996.
20% failure rate at 60k. I don't think so.
Just spoke to the regional rep today about the intakes and carbon. He said it can be an issue on DFI engines. Gasoline type and driving style are players in this game. The Audi R8 has this issue as well.


VW may will fix the issues. However, it is a given that Carlos will merely go the smoke an mirrors route.

Robert, thanks I am really enjoying the new car.

Almost forgot, the oil temp issue was my only complaint with the car.




Alan………….I give you a +1 for your honesty…………Ok, maybe it’s a little less than 20%, 15% +/-, it’s still above the normal engine failure percentage.
