Consumers Reports Reliability Rating

Nismodean · 07-26-2012, 12:46 AM

Only issue I've had is that the color of my car (magnetic black) is true to it's name, I've been hit 4 times in 8 months by morons. Other than that it's been an absolute pleasure to own! Yes, and it's a 2009 model.

Only use reports of others peoples opinion (biased or otherwise) as a guideline, never as gospel! Know the facts yourself firsthand before making a decision.

Every major issue is well documented on this forum. Several were fixed with later years. There are some other common but minor issues. You dont see a lot of people posting with oil consumption, exploding transmissions, weird electrical issues, etc. You should have a good idea what to expect after reading here (bad luck aside)

My Z is no longer reliable because it wasn't hail resistant.
