If Consumer Reports called me, 'reliable' would not be in my description of this car. I've said it before, but after 22 years of Nissan Z's (and two Nissan trucks and a Maxima) I am done, I won't buy another Nissan.

you do know they stopped putting in the steering lock on the later 2011 and up Z's don't you? as for me, have gone through a 2002 altima 4 cyl. 2005 altima 6 cyl. and now the Z and have not had one issue with any of them that wasnt my fault to begin with for neglecting things such as maintenance. at worst the only problem i ran into with my Z was the passenger side power window motor burnt out and was replaced no questions asked. it all really depends on the dealer you deal with and sadly for alot of people that come to be dissatisfied with the brand often times it's because of the way the dealership treated you in some way or another.
