JD Power ranks 350Z on top for 05
All I hear all the time from people is how supposedly horrible Nissan does with regard to quality and reliability. My experience with the 3 nissans that I've owned has been just the opposite..and now I can actually back it up with some evidence.
Z takes JD power's top honors in the premium sports car segment for 05.

Anyway, I agree with you. Nissan's build quality is underrated. I think they make fine automobiles, and the first few year bugs are common among all cars. With any new body style/major change to a car, you should expect a few bugs to work out... I think that people complaining that the 350z is bad because it breaks just don't have common sense. Weither its a Corvette, Mustang, 350z, STi, or WRX... the first year of a major change always has a few bugs to work out.
Nissan rocks IMO, they are definitely one of my favorite car companies.

what criteria did they use? number of recalls/complaints?
the z is great for $30k, but my 01 TT looks way better and is much better built than my Z was...

And i think your last comment is just kind of silly. My Z is great for the money, but my Ferrari Enzo is waaay nicer, faster, and better built than my z.
