Love our 2009 Z. We know the issues and will deal with them as needed. Have no plans to trade it for a later model. Believe the 09 coupe with MT will be a very desired car in the future by collectors.

There's always a price to pay if you're an early adopter, but the problems isn't as widespread as that article is saying. Lemons are bound to slip through the crack. It doesn't matter if you're buying a Z, a Porsche...heck a Ferrari. You're gonna run into something sooner or later. Get an extended warranty if you want a bit more peace of mind and call it a day. Honestly though, even with our bias, would you believe us or some idiot they hired to write an article who likely never even stepped foot in a Z.
