Good CR Report on 370 Z

OldGuy

December 2012 issue of Consumer Reports presents 2012 370 Z as a much improved vehicle and now certifies it as CR Recommended. Nice to hear good things from these folks for a change. Frankly though, after all the adverse postings about the 2009 (like mine) regarding poorly performing hatch springs (like mine), whiny ECU's, crappy paint and expensive steering lock failures, they probably were right in having reservations about the early model(s). I've had no problems with my '09, but I'm pulling my steering lock fuse pre-emptively anyway---didn't expect to have to do such a bush league thing on a car of this level. It certainly should be covered by Nissan on our out-of-warranty models through a recall.
