Quote"The fact that a Nissan is on this list proves that no automaker is invincible, not even one with a great track record for reliability. A 2009 redesign of this sporty 2-seater has unfortunately brought a host of problems that didn't exist before, particularly related to the engine and transmission. The drive system, suspension and brakes are also failure-prone."

Did not know there are many big issues with our Z,,,,,

There aren't. Magazines never really give the 370 its due credit. Just use them for what they're meant for: firestarter.

lol...... i can understand teething problems with a new car but to avoid it all together is a bit much.

I just read it and was going to start my own post. I've had no problems with my '09 in reference to what they speak of. In fact, after 18k miles of which 10k was from a previous owner, I've had no problems at all. I'm not worried especially since they list the Mustang for an alternative to the Z. Yes the Mustang is nice but I try to stay away from cars that have so many versions from granny's around town base Mustang to a Shelby 500 GT. At first glance they all look the same. Not to mention that it's....a Ford! Still lov'n my 370Z!
