2010 Consumer Reports Owner Survey says Z is 45% below average in reliability

Perhaps the Z drivers go a little harder on their cars than the average G owner?

Aside from transmission problems with the 6MT, I think the Z is very mechanically sound. But I agree that the paint was terrible. It's the worst I've had on any car. I know some people had some chipping issues on the front and rear bumpers (I didn't) but my Z was riddled with squeaks, rattles, and of course, ECU whine (2009).

But as far as I'm concerned my issues were all quality issues, NOT reliability.

Quality and reliability are two completely different issues that people can confused with each other.

To me the car is reliable and has some quality issues like the paint.

No car out there is perfect!

Anyhow the Z is a great car!
