Why are reviewers so hard on the z?

They are probably referring to oil consumption when they talk engine failures.

The transmission has been a major issue for Nissan for quite a while.

Steering lock issues certainly don't help the reliability ratings either.

I think if you are taking your "which car to buy" advice from MSN, something is wrong, though.

Unless it is a major magazine or publication. These morons that write for the online blogs and other "auto-news" just copy what they read they don't do any tests and these DB's don't know a thing about cars, and they are failed writers. They get paid to do as little as possible when coming up with intelligent commentary about automobiles. I trust Motor Trend, Top Gear, and a few major mags. Yet most are paid extra today to give good write ups for crappy cars and are now biased.

If you guys think journalists are tough on the 370Z, you should be glad you don't own a Corvette.

Ouch.
