I agree with you... Nissan dropped the ball on the feathering issue, no doubt about it. My car didn't have the problem, but many did. They should have found found the cause, and nipped it in the bud.
You're on a Z site, however, and to tell everyone how much the Z (and Nissan) sucks and how great the Corvette ( and GM) is is just plain stupid. What's your motive? To make everyone here feel bad about owning a Z? To get back at Nissan? To get more people to buy Corvettes? To tell eveyrone how much smarter and cooler you are because you have Vette now?
Go to a Vette site so you guys can jerk each other off and do your Z bashing over there. You just look like an idiot here.

You just need to buy the car you really want. Don't have any expectations of after sale service, warranty or otherwise.

The owners speak out
I ran across something interesting this morning - the April 2004 issue of Consumer Reports. Three cars were rated "Better than Average" for reliability. In decending order - Honda S2K, Mazda MX-5 Miata then Nissan 350Z. The Z's score was about +35%. The #9 car, the bottom of the list, the worst rated car - the Chevy Corvette. It was given a -45% rating. Keep in mind that these are based on surveys of the owners of these makes of cars.
When you look at the historical data, the Corvette was rated "Worse than average" for every year since 1998 except for the 1999 year. I doubt there is any reason to believe that the '05 will rate any better than it's predecessors.
I'm glad to see that the Chevy commitment to quality is still there.

Just a quick thanks to Nissan for their lousy customer service and unprofessional handling on the tire feathering issue. Several calls and E mails and can't get a resonse. So today the wife and I traded the 350Z track in on a C6 Vette fully loaded. IMO it makes the Z feel like a Camry. So thanks to Nissan for the improved car I now own and congratulations on NEVER selling another Nissan product to my family again.

Grow up and quit assuming things about people you don't even know just because it fits your simple minded scenario.

Oh BTW - Nissan did finally call me 13 days later to tell me to contact the dealer, that they will put different tires on the car to "fix" the problem. I didn't even bother to tell him it was too late. I will continue to post to this forum because I loved my Z and I hope that Nissan will do justice one of these days. For all the nice people posting on this board I will keep everyone updated on the C6 and GM's customer service. It is the first year run so I am hoping that there are not any issues, but you never know. For all the HATERS - find something better to do with you time. When I first joined this forum everyone was really nice, it's sad to see that there are bad apples in the bunch.

The problem with this thread from post #1 is tact. I understand the frustrations but you wouldn't go into the "hood" yelling racial slurs either. It would have been one thing to say Nissan customer service "sucks" and you had problems but do not degrade a sports car by calling it a "Camry" and think you are going to get away with it. This is a Z forum, what did you expect?
