Is Nissan 370Z reliable ??

LOOOLLLLL. Who cares about CR at 140K anyway? Cars are like people. More trips to the doctor as they get older.

My father has run Lexus and Toyota from 2005~2007 year until now - around 120k miles without any expensive repair. (Only one small repair was about a navigation button - but uncomparable to my Z though..)

It is true that now my 140K is high mileage, but actually I expected far better reliability than what I've experienced from my 370Z (and also to all Japanese cars: at least for three major brands - Toyota, Honda, and Nissan).

Want to talk reliability?

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth

Bought brand new with only 11 miles on the clock. Traded it in 2 years later with just over 7k miles for the Z.

The Abarth was in the shop less than one week after I got it, and was in the shop for over a week. That doesn't include the other 30 or so times that it was in the shop, sometimes for days, sometimes for a week or two, and once for over a month.

2 different turbos, two complete brake replacements (front and rear, rotors, calipers and pads), both window regulators, trans syncros... Just to name a few.

On the plus side, it looked good, and sounded great! Better exhaust note than even the Z, and I could make it backfire on demand!

Less than 2 years old, less that 8 thousand miles total, and probably in the shop more times than your 2010 Z in its entire life.

Italian cars and reliability. These words cannot be in the same sentence.

Yeah, but after 50 years and modern technology, you'd think they'd get their $*** straight.

Yea and one thread on this forum is all high on the Alfa Romeo Giulia, a car that reviewers are having die out and stop working during testing. The sad thing is the guys on this thread are trying to say that this one will be reliable....yea good luck with that....

at least you can tell people the Abarth has some Ferrari character in it:

Spend more time on maintenance than driving.

Yeap EVERYONE caps on Camrys, but my womans 2005 Camry has 240k miles on it, and still, somehow, keeps going! She's been rear ended two times, and she's still going!
