In summary, even though I am used to German engineering, I will buy another Z in a heartbeat.

what is this German Engineering malarchy? Is it immune from defects? People go on about German Engineering as if there is no better. Porsche rear main oil seal anyone??

I don't get this whole "good ol' days" thing. It seems that in just about every discussion of anything, people seem to have a filtered view of the past. I imagine it's probably related to human coping mechanisms. The painful memories are always obscured in favor of the good. It's just how we're wired.

In this case, cars today are far and away supperior in just about every way to cars made just 10 years ago.

Sure, there are things that could be better. Sure, there are some mistakes made that can be eliminated. Sure, cars made 10 years from now will be much better than the cars made today. That's just the nature of technology and manufacturing.

If a person can't deal with a few minor mistakes when considering such a fantastic car as the 370Z, then they should simply go buy something else. It's that simple. Of course, that other car will have it's own issues as well, and a person could go on an elusive hunt for the defect free car that would be on par with their distorted memories of cars in the past.

Or.. you can just get the Z and be happy with it's strengths and stop fooling oneself about what cars used to be.

Good ole days = days before the Internet

Before there were discussion forums, nobody knew about the high pitch noise "that guy in California" has or the oil burning issue "that guy in Texas" has.

Ignorance was bliss.

Mr Miata,

there is no absolute in life; no guarantees; and, nothing is perfect. Did anyone say that German cars are immune to defects? No one! I, for one, did not.

Did you ever own a Porsche before?

Do you even own a Z?

And now back to me, did I not say that I would own one in a heartbeat?

You are reading to much or perhaps too little in the messages.

In either case you read my message incorrectly. To others if you read my note the same way as mr miata, my aplologies. Again I LOVE My 370

cheers. Let's watch "The Sound of Music" together for peace and harmony.
