there are "common issues" for certain car years. I suggest you look around on the forums, through stickies, use search etc, to research the car. my 04.5 is running great. you are looking at possible MT tranny issues, tire feathering, window motors going out .. etc.

do the research. get an 07+ if you can, the HR engine is pretty sweet.

LOL @ the suck comment. The only year I would try to stay away from is 06 as a common problem is oil consumption.

you're a dick. it was a manual and was probably putting out more power than your car is. (well when it was running)

thanks for the other info guys.

The 350Z is not for everyone. Enjoy the RSX.
