For me (in 5 months of ownership and 2,800 miles)...

1. Diver foot rest (small aluminum part) is some weak piece just there for looks. I put too much pressure on it and it bent. Looks like crap now.

2. A couple places where paint has peeled from plastic pieces where they mate against the sheet metal. Want dealer to fix but they'll probably just dab touch up paint on there.

3. Oil temps. This summer I've run about 220 degrees just freeway driving and if I have to climb a grade it hits 250 degrees easily. No, I'm not heavy on the pedal and yes, oil level is perfect.

4. I get some kind of wind noise on driver side pillar (by windshield) and it's very annoying.

5. The AT shifts pretty quick in manual mode but the 2-3 shift is sluggish. Not really a problem just annoying.

My Z is perfect in every way for what I need and expect it to do. Haven't had a single problem that is worth complaining about.

Another problem is, coming out of stores and restaurants, you might find droolers and gawkers around your ride???
Other issues or symptoms of Z ownership may be may be muscle car drivers envying your cars uniqueness, which may cause them to spew rants of v8 superiority. Hateration from germaphilles. and finally your biggest problem will be keeping your azz out the drivers seat. The Z is way too addicting. That cockpit design just makes you feel like you're flying a fighter jet. After a little bit you begin to believe it is and you will want to make the car fly:driving:

HAHAHAHAHA..!! Something to look forward to.. 6 days until I pick up my 2013 370Z..! :D

Second 370Z as well. First one was FI after the odometer hit 2800 miles up until I traded it in at 19,900. That was on a stock block and tranny, I also ran the piss out of it. It still had zero issues when I put it back to stock. Strong cars.

I think nissan did that did that on purpose so that you dont spin out or cause your traction to kick in all the time.

VDC is great if you want your car to get stuck when you need power.

VDC= Varies per Driver Control. Only real drivers don't need.

I've got 25k miles on the car and other than cabin noise w/the Bridgestone Potenza OEM tires, no problems whatsoever. The oil temperature issues seems to have subsided once the engine had 10k miles on it. I don't track the vehicle. No rattles, solid vehicle.
