I'd say the diamond could use a little cleaning, but it aint all that rough.

Only real issues for me are the need for better brakes (even the sport brakes are lacking), and better throttle mapping (one of the most basic aspects of the tune that needs work).

Different LSD would cost more; Nismo tune is part of what you pay for in getting the Nismo; oil cooler was finally addressed in '12+.

The other things (e.g., hatch poppers) are pretty minor issues to me. For about the same money it's either a suped-up pony car or a much slower FR-S/BRZ. For me the Z wins every time in terms of the overall package.
