As for the 07 it is brand new and there no telling what could go wrong with the new car. 06 is a fairly stable buy.
worst logic ever

Most of the things on that list should be the same across every year. The fact that 03s have the worst ratings on everything is most likely due to the fact that they've been on the road longer. So overall they've had the most problems.

The things I DO agree with on that list for the 03s are:

-Tranny problems
-Suspension and tires causing feathering
-Drive system - axle clicking problem

The 06 should have a dark circle for "engine major" as should the 05s for all the rev-up motors.

I think 04-05 have slightly less problems but I've never had any problems with my car except the passenger side window motor.

My 07 is so unstable... It's like a ticking time bomb. </sarcasm>

07 has no engine troubles. But I will say the clutch problems exist on the 06-07 as well but so far mine hasn't had one issue.

That’s OK. 90 percent of those who post “I am thinking about getting a 350Z” never do.
