Is Nissan 370Z reliable ??

- First week of getting the car steering lock issue. Luckily was able to bang it out of lock, then pull the fuse.

- Trunk latch unable to open on first try. Took out the weight in the hatcback and now unlocks first try. -> added a sport spoiler and does the same thing, nothing major, just an annoyance.

- A month later, Brake Switch failure, causing TB to not fully open, unable to go WOT

- 3 months later, engine blows a rod. (oil was checked a week prior) checked again after rod knock and oil was dry

- 4 months later after the car's engine gets fixed.
clutch pedal goes soft, able to pump it back up meaning CMC is going out not CSC (no signs of leak either)

unable to bleed clutch now, because shop snapped the bleeder valve, now NEEDING to replace the CSC.

out almost 1.5k for a new clutch setup with HD CSC and CMC (with labor)

- couple months later, burning from engine, checked to see that the belt is slipping on a partial spinning AC clutch. (only partially engaging)

- ac stops working, ac compressor/clutch changed for a used one from z1 was told it would work, came unplugged, and doesn't compress cold air. stuck with the bill drove the car without ac. happy that it's at least able to run now.

- swapped tranny oil to redline mt 85. smooth shifts, but not scratches in 5th gear (a lot of manual 370z's are known for 5th gear scratches.)

- steering pump went out, replaced.

- RANDOM limp mode every blue moon.
sensors checked, no codes, won't happen until the next year once. glitch? idk.
Spent weeks reading forums and online, no one can pin point cause.

I have owned performance cars with common major issues and problems that could have ended up costing over 15 to 20k to fix. Our most costly common problem is the CSC which can be fixed for 2k and that is it....Stupid things like hatch latch problems etc. all cars have similar hateful crap to deal with but that is no big deal... Most performance cars have big common problems like engine, supercharger, transmission failure things that will cost you 15 to 20K + to fix...we do NOT.....So I consider it one of the most reliable performance cars available.
