370Z replacement...suggestions?

ImportConvert

Probably has something to do with the fact that America can produce tens of thousands of mustangs a year and Japan can only crap out 5,000 370's or so. You will also note that the current mustang gt's are more reliable cars than the current 370Z according to every survey you can find. I'm finding that to be the case, myself. None of my friends with 5.0 GT's have had issues, and some of them are quite spirited with the cars.

No, you're not responsible, but I'm not going to jerk the car off like the rest of you just because I drive one. I'll call it for what it is--shoddy engineering with a pretty wrapper.

I am not sure what the 5.0 or Circle jerkers have anything to do with your brakes? If you just want to argue and complain, just say so.

I think I already stated that I was pissed and wanted to complain and when this was fixed I'd be find for a month or so until my car broke or had an issue again.

Noone has anything to do with my car being a POS but Nissan, but people who stick up for the car and say "You're the problem" and then show me pictures of cracked rotors clearly wouldn't last a day in my car without breaking some fragile something.

My car's been towed twice due to fuel stravation and the steering lock, I also had a gas tank replaced at 10K miles. I would be the first to say the car is not bulletproof and I hate Nissan Corp as much as you as getting warranty work with them is a nightmare. At the same time, you are calling the car fragile because you have a vibration from your brakes and got into an accident? If you want attention, just post as a girl and you will get the same thing.

MX-5 Miata had a pretty good run, they did what 23 years? Their VIN starts with a J....

Actually I think the car held up DAMN WELL! in the accident I was in, and am proud of how well it was engineered. My issue is with the quality of the material used regarding "hard parts" like brake rotors, windshields, body panels, etc.

It reeks of "cheap" but the price-tag doesn't reflect it. There are all kinds of steels that can be used for things, I refuse to believe that Nissan is using a quality alloy for a brake rotor. I realize it is cast iron, but it warps like pot metal.

Miata is a damn solid car, but it's not in the same league as the Z, although I have considered one. The doors...oh god...those doors...those doors are the reason you see cops on TV using car-doors as cover from rifle fire.
