I wrote the above post after owning my 2009 Z 1.5 years and 5,000 miles. I'm now at 4 years and 12,500 miles. The problems I've encountered are relatively minor and as follows:
1) Thin paint resolved with ClearBra from day one of ownership. Bought the brand new and perfect. She's still perfect and looks showroom new.
2) Steering lock module. The unit never failed on me and was nevertheless replaced preemptively under recall.
3) Inaccurate ambient temperature module-replaced under warranty.
4) Horrific cabin noise-resolved by replacing crappy stock tires with Continentals
5) Sticky back hatch-new springs installed under warranty.
Aside from those relatively minor items, common to the new model in 2009, the car has been fine. I don't track her, so the oil temp has been within normal range in normal daily driving.
Had I to do it all over again, I would, especially as I bought the car at the end of the 2009 model year, cash and no trade, at a price below dealer cost. He was glad to move the car and I was glad to buy at that price, so everyone's happy. I expect to keep the car 10 more years for a full 100,000 miles.

I must be in the minority, but I really haven't had any problems with road noise or paint.

Steering lock is my only gripe

I solved the cabin noise problem by getting a non resonated FI exhaust:happydance:

My only issue was with the push button start. Had the steering lock replaced under warranty but that was not the issue.

Turned out to be the clutch pedal sensor. Coming from the 350, road noise is minimal in the 370.

I guess another issue I have with my 370 is that it came with "the mod bug". It kicked in about one month after I purchased it.

I don't like the fact how there is no trunk release button for my Z. Kind of sucks how I need to get out of my car to open the trunk for my passenger.

If you're in the car can't your passenger can push the button to open the trunk?

LOL I have to wonder who the stupid one really is: the gf or the guy that would call his gf stupid in a public forum. I hope she has a great sense of humor. ;)

Lucky. I haven't even had mine for a month and I have already bought LEDs for the interior, GTR start button, GTR map lenses, stillen g3 intake, springs, UCA, and LCA.
