Is Nissan 370Z reliable ??

Dreadnaught

I think the Z and the VQ37VHR are pretty damn reliable. I had an 06 G35 coupe before my Z and all I did was regular maintenance. I put 110k on it. Didn't baby it, but, didn't abuse it as either.

I'm sure my Z will run like a freakin gladiator as well.

I"m a diesel and line tech for a Ford dealership and I can tell you first hand that the people that take care of there cars don't have that many problems with there cars besides stuff that just wears out over time. Some people think that they just have to keep putting fuel into the car. I don't know how many times I've had to install a new engine all because someone didn't want to change their oil because it's too expensive but they have money for a $900 Iphone but then b1tch about their car being a POS.

I also think since someone has had to have a repair done everyone will have the same issue as well and that the car is unreliable. Besides the dreaded CSC issue, and stering lock issue, the Z overall is reliable.

I too was a dealer tech for years. First MB then indie vw/Audi, then dealer Acura and finally Chevy before leaving the field and yes taking care of the vehicle goes a long way but there is something to be said for Japanese reliability in general. Every time I do even a basic oil change or sway bar setting change I am so glad to see a bright shiny silver engine without a freaking drop of oil on it which is 100% different than German, although MB isn't that bad but vw/Audi well let's just say it could be better, and I was actually surprised Chevy was better than I thought but still not good and lots of pin fit/ stupid issues, Acura you have one place that will leak on the v6 which is the oil pump to block RTV after like 120k and a simple fix. Was never a Nissan tech but a friend is a master Nissan tech (but now at Acura) and said Nissans are pretty good overall. I would buy again, been happy so far.

Oh and my dad is in his third vq35de (Altima, maxima and new maxima sr) and was a regional sales manager (lots of driving mi) and all were very reliable, sister who isn't the best on taking care of cars is on a 2011 rogue and it too has been good at 67k.
