CR says that if they get over 3% of surveys with those complaints, the vehicle gets a black circle for that category.

Wow... that's a really tight tolerance.

I could understand maybe 3.5/5 stars for quality because of some of the issues the Z's have, but reliability?

Aside from the problems some of the 6MTs experience (CSC failures and bum synchros) the rest of the mechanical reliability problems seem to be anomalies only.

Pretty unfortunate if you ask me. And yeah, given the number of buyers that consult CR before making a used vehicle purchase this could definitely impact resale value for the negative.

I am referring to the overall reliability not each individual category
