Crappy windshields, weak components in general, and thin paint. This is my first and last Japanese car, thank god at least it's pretty and fun to drive around town. When everything is going well, it's a decent ride, but since I have owned it it has had far to much that doesn't go well.

Really forming a dislike for this car with this being my latest complaint. Probably why I don't post much anymore except when **** goes wrong.

Obnoxious power steering noises---Nissan says normal
Warped rotor that required them to turn it twice at 10K miles
Windshield that breaks when you look at it (broken on day 3 by a small pebble on the interstate)
Tires that hydroplane at anything above 55mph---Why, Nissan? Much better choices...

I guess this is my 16K mile, 1 year rant. Luckily resale on this car should be very good, and maybe once I put better tires on it it can take a corner without pushing.

Part of this of course is being pissed at the sawed-off little bugger that designed the console, but part of it is legit distaste for Japanese mindset when it comes to a car, apparently, as I had much the same feelings about my G20.

I've heard it all now.

Guy wants to trade in his Z because the cubby lid is to complicated for him to figure out how to remove it. You definitely make it sound like you have at least some sort of mechanical knowledge, but you were nearly defeated by a piece of plastic that takes 10 minutes (TOPS) to remove?

Other, slightly more valid rants:
Power steering makes noises: Noises like what? Like it is working? I am little confused on this..

Crappy windshield: Huh? So the glass breaks when it is hit with a rock. Yup, it's glass. Owned 1 other Japanese car (subaru) for a total of 6-7 years and never had a windshield break on me. Surely if this was a valid or actual issue there would be more people on her mentioning it?

Tires hydroplaning: Are you doing 55mph in a downpour or something? In the 2 years I've owned my Z and have driven the piss out of it, it has yet to hydroplane anywhere. Maybe different tires would fix this for you? I would guess a downfall of having performance tires is they aren't the best in the rain. Then again, if the Z had less grippy tires everyone would complain how it handles like garbage in the dry. Pick your poison..

You make it sound like all american cars are dreams to work on, they aren't. Have you ever tried to change the sparkplugs on an LT1/LSX? Change o2 housing on an SRT4? Tried doing anything on a CTS-V or SRT8? If you think a German car is going to be any easier, you are really going to be in for a surprise. Please man, most cars aren't the easiest to work on, that's why there is a group of people out there who do it for a living so normal people don't have to.

You obviously don't want the car and are making excuses to get rid of it, so do yourself a favor and sell it off.
