Default '06s and '07s had many problems?

I'm considering an '06 or '07 and I was wondering how the Z is with respect to repairs/service? In general are you satisfied or have you encountered more problems than you expected?

The 2007 have been on the road for only 4 months. Not enough miles to see any reliability trend. On the other hand, 2006 reliability is well documented in Consumer Reports.

Default I see the Nissan quality on the 350z continues...

Glad I'm suing the bastards on my issue. I will never buy another Nissan product... ever.

Mine has 13k miles and zero problems so far. The only thing might concern me is the engine oil consumption 1qt every 4k miles.

06=oil consumption problems, 07: clutch issues
take your pick, id go for the 07 as it faster and clutch issues are easier to fix than getting a motor replaced.
