How has your 370Z held up?

No major problems here. Coming up on 7,000 miles.

The majority of the 'problems' are caused by my car-OCD

Relatively minor issues:

I had an oil leak from a bolt that was maybe 6 inches above the oil filter location. I traced a trail of oil up to the bolt, tightened it, no more leaks after 1,500 miles. It felt like it was torqued to about 5 lb/ft before I tightened it..

My vents blow out warm air with the a/c off (no, heat is not on)

I'm probably forgetting some other minor thing I've posted about previously.
Happy with the car. It always starts when I need it to

Funny, my '07 Maxima does the same thing. It can be 68°F outside, the climate control temp will be set to something less than that (i.e. 65°F) and the vents are blowing what feels like 80°F air. A/C is off, and it's not in recirc mode either.

I haven't investigated if it's a temperature mix door not fully closing off the heater core or if it's drawing warm air from the engine compartment. Definitely something that make me wonder....
