2nd year cars are better for novice drivers. Because companies have worked out 75% of the kinks n quirks. By year 3 you are looking at 97% of quirks gone.
Unless ur a enthusiast and/or a diy mechanic. 1st year cars should be avoided.
So the forums don't get filled with non existant problems.
That use to be the case but I think a lot of things have changed in the last 10 or so years. The 370Z engine has been around for the last two years and while the 370Z platform is new there is a lot of stuff that is very similar on the 350Z, G35 and G37. I've found this new car to be surprisingly unquirky. There is the odd thing but not really an unusual amount even for a vehicle that's been produced for a number of years.

That being said at 5300KM I had burned a liter of oil. Not too concerned about it....

since the G37 was released.. a few friends (who work at or with Nissan/Infiniti dealerships) have advised me that many 3.7 vq's are loosing oil.
At one dealership, 3 g37's were waiting on new motors.

So once again, OC issues arise with our beloved VQ motor.. Coming from 2 revups, I can feel your pain.

If I do purchase a 370z, I will def be waiting on the 2010 model.

Gonestly sir I really couldn't agree with this because when u have a new vehicle coming out a factory with almost all brand new components. You will see 1st year issues.
Even on porsche u see 1st year issues.
But hey, as long as we can disagree with respect. Thank u for your response on not nit picking on 3 or 4 typos.

I think he meant he stopped "cold-turkey" without easing out of doing it.

i think the 370Z engine has been around since 2006 as I thought it had its origin and (detuned) debut in the 2006 XTerra per the Nissan master mechanic who lives right next door to me.
