Thats because it isnt a $50k car.

Find me a new 20K car that has 332HP, or can handle better than .9G on a skidpad...

Find me a red 370z that doesn't have purple spots all over it. There are three sitting at the dealer I bought mine from and ALL THREE have the same defects.....

Maybe you should have waited on the 2nd year model, ever think about that? This car is well worth the money whether you think it is or isn't. Stop complaining about how much you hate the car and be more helpful as to how other people can be helped with if this situation happens to them.

I don't "hate" the car...I just expect that it be the quality I paid for...especially when it comes to the paint! I don't think it's a lot to ask that my Red paint be nearly flawless....

Look buddy. U got a warranty. Use it. If nissan doesn't fix it. And or give u a higher grade paint formula. Then u can complain about quality. But from what I hear. Nissan has turned around n given people new cars over paint issues. For the 90th entry. If u guys want a perfect car off the bat. Buy second or 3rd year. Bmw135 wasn't perfect in 08 either.

Bmw has great fit and finish but the engines though have great performance hav sloppy build quality n that's y u spend your whole warranty getting the car fixed.
Bmw engine quality is so bad they give u 4 years of free maintenance. 6 on an extended plan for certified. Says a lot bout quality.
Id rather have a paint issue than a reliability issue.

LOL. This must be your first Nissan. You want to see horrendus paint? Try this:

1. Walk up to a 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec-V*.
2. Lightly apply pressure to the paint using your fingernail.
3. Witness the carnage.

*This experiment will also work on 02-06 Altimas.

Seriously, you couldn't even wet sand a B15 Sentra. If you did, there would be nothing left.
