06' owner on board. Absolutely no problems with mine. Always a pleasure to drive, good acceleration, smooth shifts, quiet cabin, higher rev, too much to mention. Not a single problem or down fall.

 

It's kind of a mixed bag. I bought an '06 rev-up a year and a half ago. In the first month, it burned almost 3 quarts of oil. The next three, it burned one quart. I took it in for the oil consumption test - failed - and got a new engine. I'm now burning ~1/4 quart every 5 months or so, which given my driving seems perfectly fine to me.

Your drive train warranty should cover five years or 60,000 miles I believe. Personally, I'd say go for it if you find a good deal, since if it's burning then you get a brand new engine anyway (assuming you can deal with the service time and break in time). Ymmv however, but my engine swap was fairly painless and it fixed my issue.

 

OP - where in S. Jersey are you located?

 

Yeah, that wouldn't really be a huge problem for me. It's basically an RX8 as far as oil consumption goes.

 

What I meant was that there is a large thread (101 pages) already in place dedicated to this discussion in the Engine & Drivetrain tech area

i have an 06.5...no oil consumption problem here (knock on wood)

 

After 18K miles no issues but still got a new engine from Nissan after I mention the oil consumption
Now with 2K miles and still loving it!

 

I bought a 6MT '06 new 46K miles ago and have not had any problem with oil consumption.

 

No issues with my 06 in the 7 months I have had it. Yes, many of them have consumption issues but it's not like the majority of them are lemons. Good luck with finding a quality Z.

 

In my last car I had to replace the engine twice because of oil problems. Now I check the oil almost every time I pump gas. Its a little over the top but better safe than slow

 

I have an 06 with 6mt and I love it. I have had no issues with my car at all. I have run the car 30+ times at the drag strip. I have drove it to the track and raced for 7 hours (20min on track, 40 min off) then drove 3 hours home. It doesnt burn oil and it still runs just as good as the day I brought it home from the dealership.

 

Now it all makes sense. My build date was july/06.

 

I have an 06. It had really bad oil cons. problems. Dealer replaced the whole motor for FREE. Now it runs great with no cons.

 

Ive had mine three years with 28k miles on it no problems.

 

I add a quart between oil changes ...auto tech at dealer says its normal ? my built date jan 06.

 

Get the car checked out and if it qualifys enjoy it, i love my revup moreso then my 287 DE more power and better quality car overall especially and far better speed sensitve steering.

 

I have an 06 and I have to put a qt of oil between oil changes sucks but great power band and you could drive it in lower gears for longer "keep the revs in the sweet spot" I love my 06

 

I have an 06 with 28,xxx miles on it no problems... DD it and love every second i drive it

 

Mine consumed and I got it replaced. I actually bought another longblock that I'm building right now. If you happen to build the engine, I believe that solves the consumption.

 

I ordered mine in Oct of 05 and received it in Jan of 06. I have never noticed any oil consumption issues! Knock on wood! I think my build date is Nov or Dec of of 05. I am reading some say 06.5's. But I would think that I have one of the earliest 06's and have never had any issues either. Each year seems to have some sort of trouble. Just look at it like this. They made good and bad in every year. I made sure when I ordered it I asked for it to be made on a Wed! All the Mon and Fri cars seem to be F****d up!!!!
