I have an 03 touring. The tire feathering problems was fixed years ago by the dealership for free so that was no issue. I have 70,000 miles and the only issue i've encountered is that my damn bose system goes in and out but there is a DIY section on how to fix that problem. Other than that i haven't changed anything but fluids, belts and tires. Haven't changed any starters or alternators or anything of that sort. Is the most maintenance free car i've ever owned by far. Don't ask me about my mustang or bmw maintenance issues like a ****.

 

thats good to know! VQ's are bullit proof as well.

 

If the tranny goes, I'll just get a new one. The Z's are great!
