370z rates nearly last on CR's owner satisfaction survey

That is true. I guess some drivers might experience it on the right off-ramp with a low tank.

I usually refill at around half a tank of gas but I've run it down to a few dots above a quarter of a tank with no issues on any of the ramps I took at reasonable (but fast) speeds.

If/when I race the car - real air to oil cooler, brake ducts, pads, brake fluid, CSC and the surge tank would get it working pretty well. Oh and a real mechanical LSD. That's not bad for what is arguably a $32K car.

i usually don't let get under 4 dots and i haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood) lol.

it's not bad but considering the nismo is 40k and they didn't even fix the issue there, it sort of becomes a bad trait. they should offer at least free installation for the after market CSC or fuel pump.

When you put things into perspective - the fuel starvation and the CSC issues are fairly minimal problems in the grand scheme of things. Both can be rectified with aftermarket parts if you're serious enough about fixing the issue. No car is perfect.

At least your airbags aren't exploding in your face or your start buttons setting the car on fire, or the car accelerating on its own on the interstate or in the garage.

I mean... everyone's grenaded a transmission due to a launch feature the car has, right?

I have never owned a car that didn't have some sort of quirk to it, and I never will. It's knowing what the quirks could possibly be, determining if it's the proper lesser of evils for your expectations, and getting into bed with them comfortably. Kind of like marriage.
