True delta is right from the consumers at hand and I trust these statistics way more than any other. I subscribe and I hope all of you do too.

Had mine since July 2009. Zero problems, zero issues, zero warranty problems.

Yeah, I'd say pretty reliable.

This is worthless. Ask any statistician, estimates without confidence intervals are meaningless.

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

I've had mine for a year and a half, 19 k miles and zilch issuses. I had an annoying rubbing sound behind the drivers door that went away with some silicone spray.

What about the floormats though, did they start to wear out? I hope my Z doesn't start to falter....

I get it.

Beyond just the sample size, the data is self reported, which introduces a whole new set of errors...especially since the method of survey distribution is through enthusiast forums.

i cant testify for the Z, but i can tell you that i will never own anything exept a nissan. i have had six, and the only one that had issues was a 1992 sentra 5 speed. i had a 92 maxima, which got the stink beat out of it, and i was smoking the tires on a launch when the tranny finally quit at 166,000 miles. i had a 1987 hardbody pickup (big red) that i drove through the river (hood deep), tore up the salty beach in it, ran over small trees in the woods, and drag raced everywhere. (also a 5 speed). couldnt kill it. 2007 frontier, 1997 maxima, and currently own two 2011 maximas, (one for the wife). i loved her car so much i bought one. i trust nissan and i have put a million miles on the road in nissan vehicles.

Brand loyalty.

Jk. I think you could argue the same thing for Toyota.

Or Ford. My Dad would usually get about 200K miles out of his Fords before they needed much of anything. This is after the police department put 70K miles on them, and they usually needed a new transmission from that, out of the gate.

What impressed me about my first Nissan product is that EVERYTHING in the vehicle worked. AC, radio, power seats, etc. After a decade, it all still worked. I have never owned an American car that can lay claim to that at that age.

cossie1600 · 02-29-2012, 07:09 PM

I rate it average.

CC_370z · 02-29-2012, 08:02 PM

I rated it better than Ford.
