Default 2010 370z base model no problems

I have a 2010 Z with only 10000 miles. I have no problems. I realize I have low miles.

Look at Porsche Cayman's Boxster's and some 911's IMS failures and a class action law suit.

z man, DEpointfive0,

I understand how you guys feel. Had a different car brand years ago and it gave me tons of problems, swore I never would purchase another. Years later, gave it a 2nd chance and bought a different model, kept it for 11 years without a hiccup.

Bad luck happens to even good people, hope things get better with the Z for the both of you!

Op,

Im very sorry to hear of you're "The Perfect Storm" issues with your Z.

I don't think anyone here would blame for feeling the way you do.

I could only say that the issue's accumulating on your car is NOT normal sure some will get one or another but dude yours is falling apart.

The thing I could say is once you have all your issues fixed you should have a trouble free car.

Luck would have it if you decided to give on it, and sell it? The next buyers going to enjoy it since you've already fix the most of issues.

Hopefully you get things fixed quickly so you can start enjoy it once again.

I know I've been pretty lucky with my Jan 09 build.

OP you got lots of feedback from legit members who've been around the forums for a while as well as from those with real life experiences with their cars. The CSC IS annoying but there is a fix. Quite common but it does not make the Z a bad car. There are numerous '09 owners who has had nothing but excellent things to say and have 0 issues. There are many other upgrades mentioned here that will fix it and give you a much greater experience. 5h!t happens you know.....the good news is any 5h!t can be wiped off clean and fixed.

Don't listen to those who shoot generalities about the brand. He's just scorned. Good luck with you and your Z.

I have a confession to make guys, Im bi polar and actually really like the Z most of the time. Its a love or hate relationship. I am a fan of Nissan.
I still have my Frontier and will probably keep it for life. I'm sorry to rustle jimmies all the time.

Well that answers... NOTHING!!!

Cars = fuckload of mechanical moving complex components = **** breaks = if **** isn't breaking... it will for some sooner than later for others visa versa.
