Maybe I missed it, but what is wrong and what are they doing to correct it?
How would you feel if your Toyota ran away into an intersection? You would say the same crap. But your massive sample size of 5 didn't include that experience, so you think they are perfect or something. When you can find pph to back up your claim about Nissan 370z vs. Toyota, ill be satisfied. Until then, I'm sorry, Toyota kindof sucks. When I worked for Ford in '05 we were already rated higher in quality. Toyota is just boring and their quality isn't what you think it is. I'm not defending Nissan, I just think your faith in Toyota is not justified.

Sorry, just saw the issue. I'm on my cell. Dude. That's so minor its a joke. I have had other brands do it too. It's not brand specjfic. It's like hating Nissan because the windshield wiped motor went out twice. It's not a quality marker, really.

:tup::tup::tup: IMPRESSIVE mileage on those Z's sir!! WOW 11 Z cars, impressive as well:tiphat:

OP, nothing is perfect in this world. SH1t is gonna happen. Things are ALWAYS gonna break.

There is no point. End thread

Thanks, yah I will update the info on the intelligent key link.

:iagree:

Please, keep on going. It is quite entertaining.

If a no start on a z bothers u, never go out and buy a ferrari, or lambo ar anything of that nature....

every car has its thing. maybe u got lucky with the yotas, but some people havent been so lucky. dont let this one issue scare u away from a company forever. that wouldnt make any logical sense..

Still doesn't hold a candle to someone saying a brand is crap because their car wouldn't start and needed a couple of minor parts replaced and a tow. You don't have any real information to share, just wanted to whine. I understand, it can be frustrating.

i love my nissan, LOVE IT!

oh and btw, IBTL

Followed up by....

I smell double standard.

My family (extended included) have owned a Murana, about 4 Maximas, 2 Altimas, 2 280zx's, a 50th Anniversery 300zx, an old red pickup truck (no idea on model name) and my 240sx and 370z. Most of mileage on these vehicles was over 130k before we got rid of them. My 240sx has 235k on it.

The extent of issues we have had on these vehicles is the 300zx does not run smoothly because my uncle neglects it and the 240sx needs a new transmission after 200k miles.

We also have a Honda Accord that has gone through 3 transmissions before the 135k mark. Kind of crazy if you ask me, but it doesn't mean the whole company is trash.

All makes have their lemons, just means you need to add some sugar and make lemonaide!!!

I do have to say that even with my beloved Zeda being winched onto the flatbed, it still looks sweet!

:tiphat:

Indeed. Nice pic

The people jumping on the OP have probably never had this happen to them before. It's not a good feeling, especially if it happens twice. Getting stranded sucks and it makes it difficult to trust your car especially if it's due to something like an electrical gremlin.

I'd cut the guy some slack. It's very easy to get emotionally hot when you have to deal with a situation like this.

I hope the car gets fixed and you can get back to enjoying your Z without any more problems.

If only the forum as a whole could be more supportive instead of defensive.

- Dr. Phil :p

I prefer to think of myself as "experienced", not old. :icon17:

Also, I may be 51 and old, but I refuse to grow up. Ask anyone. When maturity comes knocking on my door, I pretend I am not at home.

I've seen all those NSFW posts. ;) :roflpuke2:

Thanks. I like Z's and don't know why exactly.

Agreed, like I said I think my next car will be a GTR. I am suprised and pleased by how well my Zeda does in the snow and ice with Blizzaks (I thought I was going to have to buy another Tacoma) so I can only imagine how fun a GTR would be in any weather.

Been there, done that, multiple times. It's frustrating for sure, but unless if was something more serious I never wrote the brand off. Hence I bought a vette even though my fbody had tons of crap go wrong, almost killing me(randomly died on the freeway, once right in front of an 18wheeler), stranding me, etc.
and hence I'm getting a 370z even though my g20 has been junk.

You've been everywhere.

"A True Z Fanatic" - No false advertising there :tup:

I am right there with you about the Vette. It is also pretty awesome being a Z owner in Colorado where every guy out of college owns a STI. They really can waste me off the line, but they are still driving off in an ugly, boring Subaru.

That's why I bought a Nissan! I am a victim of high expectations.

That makes me reminiscent of the way this forum used to be. :shakes head:

The way people would have responded in 2009: "That's terrible man, what's the problem?" :everyone chimes in to help:

The way people respond in 2011: "WTF MAN, NISSAN IS AWSOME!!! HERE ARE ALL THE REASONS YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!"

If I were stranded somewhere, I'd probably be pissed off too. I don't see any reason to jump his *** about it.

:iagree:

I wish I had a dime for everytime someone posts how terrible the Z is. I'd be rich. People should.... if they really hate this car as much as they say.... just move on!!



And... ibtl !!

With the right tires and common sense, cars are limited in snow only by ground clearance.

Nope, I'm looking forward to the z, but I know its limits. I think ill be very pleased, glad you are over your frustration, btdt, sucks.

:iagree:

Regarding my issues with Zeda, I have extremely mixed emotions about them which you can maybe understand by reading this:

http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...asey-zeda.html

Now that you guys think I am a jerk, you can think I am a panzy too!

Meh, the OGs have your back. :tup:

:iagree: Anyone who thinks you're a jerk because your car left you stranded and you're upset about it is no one to give a piss about.

I love the passion of Z owners...I am joining the Z club here in Colorado and am looking forward to hanging out with the Z-heads!

Thanks for the empathy and support :tup:

You are definitely not coming off as either a jerk or a pansy. :tup:

We have all experienced loss on some level and get emotional over plenty of things. I try to remember that a lot of tone is lost or does not translate well into words on a forum.

Truth

:iagree:

Man as much as I agree with everything you said. Its not the situation or his anger. Its the way the thread is written. Look at the opening question? Are you proud of your Z. Then he's goes on about hondas and toyotas. And camaro and vette owners laughing at him.
Man i'd be hella pissed in his situation too. But my thoughts wouldn't be in what vette drivers are thinking seeing me here. If his frustration was written in the actual situation and not what camaro mustang and vette owners think about him being stuck. He wouldn't need a flame suit.
There's different ways to express your frustration with a car or its operational malfunctions.. he just struck nerves. I think if he would have been more direct and just said. "I'm tired of my nissan stalling. I'm going to look into another car. Or I never had this problem with other brands." People would have been more eager to help.

And in 09, even though we had more experienced guys that helped a lot BUT there were more flamers and harsher ones than we have now. And everyone was in little groups flaming people. Many were also pretentious and acted like the Z was a ferrari or did the complete opposite. We had overly passionate members back then.
I think today. We are a much more united forum even though many are less experienced. :)

He didn't ask if we were proud of our Zs. Re-read what he said.

The question was directed at NISSAN...

And it's quite obvious it was a heat of the moment thing. We all know we say things we don't mean or we shouldn't when we are pissed.

Man, be honest and accurate. The thread is directed at Nissan, but you misquote the thread title which is: "Are you proud of this Nissan". I never mentioned Hondas once.

I think Nissan should have a little shame, and yes, due to my experience with Toyotas I have high expectations of Japanese cars (freaking shoot me).

The point about the Camaro and Corvette is that is exactly why I bought a Nissan. I didn't want to be the guy in a Chevy stuck in the parking lot, having a Nissan driving by me validating their good decision not to go with a Chews-Heads-Eats-Valves-Yearly. It makes me feel foolish thinking that I could expect the quality I have experienced with my Toyotas.

At risk of getting more hate directed at me, I can list the other ridiculous issues I have had with Zeda (notice I refer to my car by her name, not my Z).

But like a few women I have dated in the past, she is beautiful, but has a few issues (I will leave it at that).

Also stated by me:

1) I love Zeda and driving her everyday and will not get rid of her
2) My next car will probably be a GTR
3) I chose Nissan because I was impressed by how well they held up as rental cars

It is one thing to criticize for my statements, but it is another thing altogether to fabricate statements and then attack me.

You don't think Nissan engineers should have a bit of shame for seeing that picture? I think you would be singing a different tune when you merely want to grab some coffee for the purpose of driving your Z, then not being able to drive back the mile back home to start the work day.

Again, you don't have any value for my time, but I do. I think you read into it what you wanted...and for what purpose?

"In the heat of the moment?"So you're telling me he wrote the thread on the side of the road??? That kind of heat of the moment. Yeah I guess I need to go back and read the thread.
