I sadly traded my '03 z back in '05 and looking to buy another. I have heard a lot of problems with the '06 oil consumption. I am looking at a '07 model? Pros and Cons to the new motor with the dual intakes,any problems?

 

from what I've read in past articles is that the 05 has had the least probs noted... Havent really heard anything about 08's, but majority of issues is really dependent upon the usage of the car and the driver as well. Either way it's your choice.

 

i drive an 08 and no problems yet (knock on wood)
HR FTW!

 

not all 06's have oil problems. I know mine doesn't...

 

Buy an 07 or 08.

 

<=== '07. I've had no problems whatsoever with my HR.

 

what do you mean with oil comsumption? i just got an 06, thanks

 

^ what he said, or just get the 370z

 

06's consume oil. Some more than others. Drive the crap out of it, see if it consumes oil. If it does, you can get a free engine if you have less than 60k on it. It's prob worth it to know your stuff about the "official oil consumption tsb."

Get a free $10k engine. Be persistent. Not a bad deal.

 

buy an 03 model and use the $ u save for F/I

 

07' - 08' hr ftw...

 

+1

Or buy a high miliage '03 for like 8 grand. rebuild the engine, put in a newer CD009 tranny, Go FI. And STILL come out in the end with a big $$$ savings, and one hell of a car!!

 

+2

 

Go for a 07 or 08. Only problem with 07 was the clutch, not sure if there was a recall or what. Haven't heard of any trouble with the 08's so far!!

 

Same here. I hate seeing threads when people who don't even own 06's make the claim that ALL 06's have the oil consumption. They don't mostly it's with the Roadsters.

 

my 06 runs like a charm

 

I don't see anyone claiming all 06's have the problem. I see people advising it's easier to just stear clear of 06's because of it. I mean, you're already looking really close at 07 cost territory anyways, might as well get the HR and piece of mind.

 

true you should just get an 07 or 08

 

Get whatever you can afford and like the best.

 

Hasn't this been discussed enough already.....
