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.
