Given the high cost of this car for a weekend/summer toy (not my DD) and given the fact that I plan to keep it in the family indefinately (at least 25 years or so), I obeyed the break-in instructions meticulously. Since break-in ended, I've driven my Z sensibly and responsibly and enjoyed every moment. I'm not a racing guy.

Issues: None. Car's been perfect since day one.

Year: 2009

How I Drove: I drive pretty "normally" day-to-day but occasionally I enjoy some spirited driving. Nothing ever too intense and I'm always carefully to let me car warm up before I go anywhere, regardless of how short the drive is.

Current Miles: 4900

I bought mine the first week they were out. Drive it 60+ miles a day so it did not take long to get to 1200.

Current Miles: 800ish
Mods: center console garage door opener.
Issues: Tire air pressure sensor was TU on arrival. Dealership had to order a new sensor. I'm waiting to have it installed until after my plates arrive.
