Default I don't think...

it gets any safer. Not speaking in terms of actual testing or stats rather, just the posts that I've read here. I drove a 928 a bit and that felt pretty solid to me as well. Either way, I really don't want to find out first hand

The Z is unbeatable value in terms of performance and driving pleasure. I've never owned a vehicle that was this much fun to drive, and had so much heart and soul in it. As for reliability, I can't say yet, but it's sort of mid-pack according to JD Powers.

I was actually thinking on the way home tonight about Z meets and stuff... you never see a line of 350Z's on the side of the road on the way in/out broke down....

I ran with some older Z's and we never had to stop... We would pass Corvettes and others routinely that were broken down.

Despite my consumption problems I still do not regret my purchase. I love the car it's just unfortunate that there was a major design flaw. I plan to get an 07.

Interesting enough, I don't think there are many I totaled my Z and died threads.

because Z's look so good, after getting into the car, thieves just sit there with admiration, then they get caught...
