Default Worst car I have ever owned

I know I am going to get flamed, but my 2005 350z is the worst car I have ever owned. Under 15,000 miles and it has been in the shop at least 20 times. Two crankshaft position sensors, a new flywheel, the car idles at 300 rpm's (According to the dealer normal), a broken window motor, rattles all over the place, numerous other problems and as of this morning a new pedal Position Sensor. I just can't wait till I can trade it in and never buy another Nissan product again!

05 Z touring, 12k miles have never had any problems. Maybe the old computer saying applies here too: PLBCAK.

I have an '03 and it's been to the shop a bunch of times. Still worth it though. Probably won't buy another Nissan unless it's really good.

Buy an Audi. Then you'll really know what poor construction is.

bought it new in December 2004, haven't been able to mod a thing. At this point I am scared to mod anything because of warranty issues.

Man that's some patience, I would've given up at the 10th maybe 15th time.
