Most reliable cars 2006 - consumer reports.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/AUTOS/10/26/...ble/index.html
I think these are 'predicted' reliability for '06
Didn't see the Z, but they mentioned two Infinity models being rated the best...M35 and M45.
Did the Z make it on there for '05 most reliable?
(Kinda skeptical b/c of some of the issues people have been having)

I am sure suspension is being blamed for the tire feathering, which has alot of people heated up. People always like to complain... but most aren't gonna go out of their way to compliment. Of course the feathering still exists with 2004 models, etc. Once I got rid of the stock crap-potenzas my feathering went away on my '03. And as far as "suspension" aka "handling" it is still the best. Go buy a luxury car if you want a smooth ride. And quit using sh!tty Potenzas on your Z

Yea the Z has had a bad rap, although to be fair Nissan didn't help with their image by playing the denial and blame game. They have totally changed now and are really trying to improve. Nothing but props for them on my tranny swap. Fast and professional service all around. My survey will reflect that.
I do remember the Z winning most reliable sports car somewhere in 05, can't remember.
