It affects all 2009 through mid-2011 370Zs. They deleted the SLU in mid-2011. If your 370Z has a SLU, it's prone to failure.

I guess it depends on what one's definition of is "that many" is. I've counted 112 ppl reporting SLU failure on this site alone. There are more reports, but I'm almost two weeks behind on updating the list.

I agree with other members who have said the 370z is a perfectly competent (and fun!) DD, but there are some caveats.

If you already have a toy car, I suppose what you're looking for in a DD is pretty important. There's a lot of road noise in the Z and the fuel efficiency is nothing to get excited about.

My guess is that a slk250 will have better fuel efficiency, and might even be quieter with the top up.

Fuel efficiency is that much better if at all on SLK's believe it or not... I was a bit shocked which is another reason I was thinking I wasn't losing anything by going 370....
As far as track time I save that for my Corvettes so this would be just a fun car show... going to the beach.... work car and as I think I said I have a truck for snow and rain I'm going to keep around.
I see coups I like but I've never had a vert and I'm thinking I really want to do that. Have 2 cars set up to drive next week and I'm looking forward to it after hearing from you guys.
