I have a base automatic. I'm very pleased. Don't worry about the hatch issue and the oil cooler is irrelevant to anyone who doesn't take the car to the track. I've had no problems in over a year and not been back to the dealer about anything. However, the paint is crappy and it chips very easily. Get a ClearBra on the front bumper, nose and mirrors before you drive the car off the lot. Aftermarket leather seats are nice. I love mine.
The car is a bit noisy and if your roads are bumpy with expansion joints every 10 yards like mine, you'll gripe about harsh ride. So test drive the car where you'll be driving it as much as you can before purchase.
All in all, I consider my Z a very reliable Nissan that sounds and rides like a sports car. If that's what you're looking for, buy it. It's a lot of car for the money. Find a left over 2010. Same car as the 2011. Offer under invoice. I got my '09 for nearly $1,000 under invoice (cash deal, no trade) in December 2009. They often sell these cars cheap if you can keep the deal simple.
