Main questions are...

1. How reliable have these cars been?

2. Any common mechanical issues?

3. Do these have any tire feathering problems (I doubt it)?

4. Is the automatic transmission of good quality?

5. Reasonable MPG expectation and tire longevity (I know, subjective)?

I don't mind a couple trips to the dealer to work out minor bugs, but I did see a few posts here (when I searched) about common problems (paint & oil temperatures mostly) and it got me thinking a little.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help you could give. The car looks great and I love the way it drives. The price is right and I know it would make me happy, but coming from an S2000 (not a single thing broken other than the speed limit

) I just want to make sure this is a good decision.

P.S. Yes, I know this is a group of Z owners who love their cars.

1. I now own the Z for a year and about 3-4 months. so far no single problem.

2. none that I know.

3. don't even know what that is

4. the 7AT is awesome, pretty quick too. prepare for "LOL AT IS FOR WOMEN" posts.

5. the MPG is pretty good and I still have my original tires.

though PLEASE get the sport package. it looks way better + LSD, bigger brakes, bigger wheels(hooray rays), spoiler and so on.

though I would also get the touring. I love my nav and seats.

I bet they think Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati are for women too huh since most are sold as AT.

That's our usual response to the 7AT bashers. Vegitto like to pull out the Ronda R as the first example though
