I don't think this is their thinking as, as I recall, for example, that the $30,000 level Miata is on CR's BEST USED car list.

Yeah I guess someone from CR is in bed with someone from Mazda then I don't think CR's opinion is worth jack sh!t anymore. Especially nowadays, anyone who is researching a vehicle will resort to the internets and find places like this and other reviewers. I know me personally, I always read REAL persons reviews as part of my research when buying anything.

Also, what kind of person in the market for a used 370Z is going to let CR steer them away? I'm not worried about it.

The car is new. It has to many issues, to even think of buying a used one! There is another post in here with the TSB's on the 370. Way to many TSB's!

To be fair, a lot of that has to do with door quality.
