I'm scared to buy a Z
 

Somebody please reassure me the reliability problems aren't as bad as they sound:(

An easier solution would just be to not buy one, if you're really that scared. In fact, that's what I recommend for you.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of reading the same inquiry over and over and over and over again. Seriously, if you're asking for reassurance from total strangers, exactly how comfortable are you going to feel regardless of what we tell you? Plus, there's this thing called 'forum search' - look into it.

yeah, dchengmd is totally right.
i was frustrated too since Z had so many problems.
but i didnt care.. cuz i fell in love with it when i saw one at dealer's parkin lot.
Currently im having one major problem with my Z.
but i still love my baby Z.


Ji.

Honestly, from what I've seen the problems are mostly limited to the MY2003 Z's. Though I've only had my 2004 about a month now, after 2000 miles it's been rock solid.

In any case, the Z is under warranty so if you have any issues they'll be taken care of without charge.

Don't buy it.

You sound like you would be scared to buy any car.

350Z is a damn beautiful car but the problems are rampant.

Is there any car that doesn't have problems? If you're really that hesitant to get a Z, then it's not the car for you. Good luck!

Every car has problems, but thats not the issue here, the issue is other cars don't have half the problems as the 350Z does.

This car is a friggin piece of shite. Its got so many problems, I would rather die than buy it. Beware my friend, beware. It's the devil's venom. Hoo, hoo, whoa, HAHAHAHAA!!!!!!

Problems are rampant? Considering how I lurk these boards I really have heard any problems on the 2004s. If you want to talk about cars that have problems go look at the RX8. Over 20 members on rx8forum.com have had to have their engines replaced completely already.

To my knowledge the only major problem the Z had was the tranny in the 2003s. So far I don't think I've read any problems with that in the 2004s.

But everyone is right, go buy a civic. You can almost bet you'll have 0 problems with that car.

Only problem I've had is window grease..and driving in Snow (dont do that!) 03 model

Yeah i suggest you check out rx8club.com...those things have more problems than I even know existed

BTW what is flooding your engine mean? I heard that it happens on the RX's but i dont know what it means

Please go somewhere else and buy another ****ing car, maybe a perfect no problems Ford Mustand Cobra fo 40K.

nyfm, please don't purchase the 350z. It's too much for you, trust me. You need to go buy a nice used ford aspire. That sounds like your kind of car. Actually, if car problems scare you that much, get a segway. Scratch that, I heard they have malfunctioned also (they did a bunch of recalls). If walking isn't too scary, I highly recommend you walk.

He could have problems with walking too. Someone could trip him, shoe doesnt quite fit, they wear too fast, etc.

What problems?

Don't buy a Z then buy a MUSTANG

The only two major issues I've seen are the tire feathering and the early transmission problems. All the rest of the stuff is minor to me.

I think the transmission problems are probably early builds, and that leaves the feathering on the 2003s as the only thing still questionable. I don't know if 2004s have the tire issues with the new suspension, but we should know shortly as those start to get some miles on them.

I'm sorry, but grease on the windows is an extremely minor issue to me (my last car and truck also did this, and I never thought twice about it).

Any car board you go to will find people griping about stuff. That is what the forums are for. People don't come to forums and argue about what HASN'T broken.
