Would you buy again?

Jordo! · 11-03-2010, 12:39 AM

Fvck yeah.

Unless they offer some kind of super wazoo turboed FT-86 (either by Toyota/Scion or Subaru) in a year or two, there's really no other car I'm interested in.

Actually, I already bought my Z again. Just had a deal that was too good to pass up(fully loaded, ultra low miles, same color + offer to move my mods to the new car as part of the deal). Would I buy the next gen Z? Depends on what life throws at me, but if I'm able to buy another I would in a heartbeat.

Consumer Reports gave it a black circle.

never buying a nissan again. oil consumption scares, pre-mature brake wear, noisy and annoying clutch/tranny.. grinding second gear and sixth gear... clutch slave cylinder, and nissan consumer affairs suck.

I haven't had oil consupmption, but just the fact that there's a tsb for it, worries me. I want a car I don't have to worry about. My rotors are making noise now too and the car only has 12k miles on it and I barely drive it. I got my front rotors warrantied at 10k miles!!! Never had to do so much warranty work on a new car. it's obnoxious.

I want a car I don't have to worry about... I just wish toyota made a sports car, or Honda made something with torque.

I would suggest stepping up to a Porsche. That really is the next option in a similar vehicle with better QC.

Consumer Reports ratings on the 09 are all red circles except for two half black circles, one for engine cooling and one for engine minor. There is a full black circle for predicted reliability though.

I see a "For Sale" sign in your future.

If you want a car you don't have to worry about, you shouldn't have bought a sports car.

or perhaps don't thrash it quite as much. Every car will have its dings and failings. Even porsches. And if you drive a performance car hard, it will wear quickly.

you sneeze on the paint and it leaves an etching

1. haha yea I am selling it actually. I need to post up my for trade + cash thread for my powdercoated nismos first.

2. seriously? My car's been warrantied like 6 times for stupid crap, and oil consumption is unacceptable. BMW had an issue with their 335i fuel pump, and are actually BUYING people's cars back. Nissan would rather die than even offer. Now my REAR rotors are ******* up, when I drive the car like a grandma like 15 miles a week, and nissan won't cover them because i'm 500 miles over the warranty on brakes... because apparently brakes have a seperate warranty that isn't anywhere in the manual. Plus, I don't know if anyone saw that thread about the front bumper dent that like 90% of the cars have... I have that as a cherry on the sundae.

I guess the main reason im pissed off is because I had an 06 350z.. and figured after all those oil and bs problems that nissan would get their crap together for the new model...

nope

spitfire9200 · 11-03-2010, 12:14 PM

but hey don't get me wrong guys...

I admit i'm a little more finicky and OCD than a LOT of people.. so my gripes may not be other peoples.

I just haven't encountered even a hint of this type of lack of quality control with the hondas and toyotas i've owned... ironically they were driven into the ground, too. I baby this thing....

sheps58 · 11-03-2010, 01:04 PM

I have the base model 6 speed MT. I think I purchase a car with the sports package or the Nismo.

puckshaw · 11-03-2010, 02:08 PM

I voted no for a couple reasons. I love everything about the Z except the engine. I'm getting really frustrated with how hard it is to squeeze power out of it. It's weird seeing people get excited about $700 mods that barely make any power. Just seems like I might be better off with a different platform next time around. That being said, I can't think of a single car anywhere close to the price range that I'd replace it with. There are so many things I love about it that I just can't find in anything else.

The other reason I said no is like others mentioned: I just would want to change it up.
