90 days? Who gives a crap about the first 90 days? I would expect a $6000 Kia to run like a top for the first 90 days.

Well it's still top 5, which is a good thing!

well obviously thats not the case or every car made would be tied for #1 on this list. Like Toohip said its still top 5 and thats a good thing. being a first year run for the 370Z I think its a positive and a good initial sign about the cars overall build quality.

They must not have noticed the missing oil cooler!

More importantly they didn't see the thread here about the car's top problems. I'm researching a car to buy and it seems ALL cars have problems. BMW? fuel pump and quality control. Subaru? Engines blowing up. Mitsubishi? Tranny issues.

I used to be brash like you when I was younger, but with time and wisdom grasped from others shooting down my comments etc., I realized I wasn't as "smart" or had foresight into everything. In other words, I was humbled to realize I wasn't the "right person" who knew all the "right things."

Anyways, my friend. This top-5 list has 3 Toyota products, 1 Hyundai and the 370. Toyota has always throughout its legacy been reputed to be durable cars with the least problems. If you read the report's captions at least, you would've realized that every car on that top-5 list had at least 100 problems per 100 cars. That means, each car could've had at least 1 problem, or none. Each car had at least a 100:100 ratio.

It helps to understand nuances.
