There are always lot's of choices but I've had problems with cars with price points far above what the Z costs - different vehicles from different manufcturers and/or that cost tens of thousands more are no guarantee of perfection; either long or short-term.

The Porsche Boxster engine problems (requiring brand new engine after relatively low miles) comes to mind for one example; a current edition of which starts at around $47K for the base or $57K for the "S". I consider Porsche to be one of the best manufacturers in the world but even they "aint perfect".

I understand where you are coming from. We are simply at the stage in life where time is more important to us. This morning we had a serious discussion about the car, and the fact that she does not trust it where she was going to be driving it and the distance from home—it now has one strike against it. I guarantee if she were to take it and it defaults to the limp-home mode from overheating (and I know the stretch where it is most likely to happen) then she will never drive it again. Summer is coming and the last thing I want to do is listen to a Service Advisor/Manager feeding me crap if there is a factory issue. I will simply encourage everyone that encounters it to file a complaint with the NHTSA to push the issue into a government mandated recall, and sell our Z.
