Default Are there any Happy, Trouble free Z Owners?

As a member of several 350z forums, there have been more problem and reliability threads than I care to read. It would be nice to hear if there are any good Z's out there.

Let's hear it for the good Z's

I've got 24000 miles on mine. No problems and I still love it. Maybe even too much. On a bad note though. I got a big bird doodle on it today!

badbee, you have to realize also that not everyone that owns a Z is on this forum. The only reason you hear a lot of stories, good and bad, are because this is a type of media source, per se. And with any type of media source any issue good or bad will be exacerbated.

Im sure that if you go onto any vehicle forum you will hear of good and bad stories, recalls, etc...

As with any type of vehicle, when you start to mod, you will have issues.

Dont get discouraged.. There is more to the Z world than this forum, though there are a lot of great guys who know everything about the Z here so you can probably learn everything about the Z just by reading a lot of these threads.

Good luck..

More often, people will make threads regarding issues with there Z for input and such.
Not many ppl will make threads saying that there Z has had yet another problem free day of driving.

BTW 04.5 here, not a single problem

I have a 06 with 33k & no Oil consumption problems, I did have the dealership replace my transmission, drivers side visor, and left front led died but that's all. I can't say I’m having any oil consumption problems. But I do love my Z. But the moral of the story is no matter what manufacture produces a vehicle someone and something will be wrong about it so if you want one get one, other than that you'll always wonder? I pacified my own curiosity and bought one and don't plan on looking back despite what I read this place is great. Tons of knowledge just do your searches any one here will testify to that. Either way Get one you’ll love it. Especially the Attention you'll get!

I've seen hundreds of Z pics, this one ranks high. I like how you black out the Z logo. May I recommend you do the same for the door handle. Anymore pics?
