Let me make you guy feel better, not a sports car but just use this as a comparision,
2008-10 honda accords:

rear pads wear out in 10-15k
4 cyl oil consumption issues
vtc actuator issues
key fob module issues
xm receiver issue

06-09 civics:

engine blocks crack
motor mounts are junk
front pads 15-20k(some lower)
wheel bearings
low idle issue
rev hang on si's

These are just a few, very few issues, the lists go on and longerfor some models.
NOTHING is perfect, and stuff breaks or has design flaws, just hte way it is.

even with all the crap I read on 350zs, I bough one, only real issue were the window motors.

I sold my 350z, and I am buying a 370z, but now I know the problems and how to avoid or fix them now.

i don't and won't take much stock in anything these wanna be weekend race car drivers/ hack writers say most of the time......

imho it's how the car preforms over the long haul and how dependable it is during that time NO car is perfect..... but these wanna be Jimmy Johnson's
take these cars out and drive them like they stole em. then another set get in
and do the same thing over and over. i don't care what car you test if you kick it in the xxx enough it will fail.........................

my experience 09 47,000 miles never a failure. no oil burning or over heating....
no rattles car is as tight as the day i bought it with 3 miles on it......

and i redline the gears at least once or twice a week just because i can....

sorry to ramble......................
