2009 370Z reliability

Red__Zed

TD uses way too small of a sample size and their methods results in far too much sampling bias for them to have any meaning

Engine and drive train are vastly improved

In what? A 7AT? I don't understand the need to change things that work just fine. I mean, I could understand if they wanted to add more power but I don't think they've done that have they?

I actually track my car which means I push it to it's limits and it's given me no problems in doing so. And what you're telling me is that Nissan has vastly improved, not just improved but VASTLY improved the engine and drive train for.... the 98% of the people that will never even realize any difference since they putz around on the street without any hard driving track use?

This doesn't make any sense to me. I mean I can understand wanting to give the press something new to write about but c'mon Nissan...


Edit: I don't drive the 7AT so if it was experiencing some sort of drive train problems, I didn't know it and that would be understandable.

So? You're saying the Z is not reliable? Yes their sampling size is too small and might lead to sampling error. But that applies to all the cars on their site in the comparison. It's not impossible but highly unlikely that their estimates would be too far off.

No, i am saying the data is largely meaningless as a whole.

As a direct comparison, though, it is very meaningful.

Doubtful. He makes it pretty clear what he is saying:


To paraphrase a bit, the sample size is to small to be really meaningful. Nothing more, nothing less.

He never mentions or implies any reliability issues with the Z. And yes, I know he had tons of problems with his, but he makes no mention of it. He comments only on the sample size and the sampling methodology. Not the reliability of the Z.
