I've just read the 10 pages of posts while seating at work and it is really causing me to think twice about picking up a new Z after winter is over. I mean every car has its problems just like everybody else stated. So you can be one of the lucky ones and not notice any of this or you can be one of the unlucky ones have notice all of this.

I'm coming from a 08 WRX that (even tho they explode easy with high hp numbers) my transmission shifted like butter. I never had a problem shifting any gears or from a stand still getting into any gears. But others just like here with the same car did have problems shifting so it could have been like I said I was one of the lucky ones.

Evos have the same problems these Z's have. A week master cylinder that blows all the time (my buddies blew on his 10 at least 4x, 2 OEM and 2 aftermarket) not driving under harsh conditions either just driving down the highway. Weak clutches that go after 2k miles and mitsubishi wont be covering it under warranty.

All cars have there problems by it self that some might not have but others will. This is still causing me to rethink getting one after winter is over. It is either the new Z, STi or Evo. Really want the Z but with the transmission problems idk if I should tempt it or not.
