Sorry... But GTFO... This bitch has left me stranded and it wasn't a steering lock issue

Nothin' wrong with the car.... But JD Power?

They make up categories that their client's cars will fit. Virtually every one of their different customer's cars has a "best" award...........

"Voted best sports car with a 3.7 liter engine and a Z in it's name"

"Voted best car that doesn't come in the color chartreuse"

etc etc etc.............

SS_Firehawk · 02-15-2013, 06:42 PM

This is the first time I seen a Z in any JD award actually.

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-15-2013, 07:32 PM

Is there a reason all the cars are from 2010?

but yeah, the z is really dependable. I'm glad to see the camaro as well. I was struggling between buying a Camaro and a Z initially. lol

Lag for establishing reliability.

I always laugh at their classes. The Z topped out a class that consisted of it, an e-class, and the Volvo c70. :|

Never mind their statistically inept method of establishing reliability.

Lol, it's a sports car, tranny gone at <30k... Joke right?
My 01 Avalon had a MUCH harder life, and it's still kicking

enkei2k · 02-15-2013, 11:46 PM

In that link, they mention it's 2010...yet why do they show a CY 370Z? I thought that was only available on the 2009 MY

Nice to read this and no surprise. My model year 12 GTI on the other hand just received a new motor LOL!!!
The Z is a great car overall. Yep we report issues here. Thats the problem with online forums the issues are magnified beyond reality. We have a couple big ones; Steering Lock, CSC etc but taken in context this car is reliable.
Surf other forums and you will find the same. Nothing is perfect if touched by our wonderful human hands lol!!

shadoquad · 02-16-2013, 01:23 AM

Zero issues here. All models have clunkers and single examples that last forever. Every car is built differently from the others on the line, and all lead different lives with their owners.

So far so good for me, but I also don't put stock in jd power

Suck it Mercedes!
Yay us! Boo them! lol

(I pulled my fuse anyway, you know... Just in case)
