Fear of an '09.... Real or Overblown?

Its absolutely fine, oil consumption only on the engine breaking period and overheating is the other prob can be fixed by an oil cooler, steering wheel problem can be fixed

Its absolutely fine, oil consumption only on the engine breaking period and overheating is the other prob can be fixed by an oil cooler, steering wheel problem can be fixed after u start ur car and pull the lock fuse. Other than that is the slave cylinder on manual trannys, but if u dont ride the clutch its ok, well i dont have any problems with my ride so far and its early 2010 21k miles driven hard in nyc.

Not true. Oil consumption was a problem with some motors, but it would have been replaced by now. CSC failure has nothing to do with how you drive it. It's just luck yours hasn't failed.

I agree with first year models and bought extended coverage, thus far unnecessary.

I'm happy with my 2009Z.
