It's just those "mini bugs" that keep popping up through the years that get to me.
Power Windows - There is no issue with them. The only issue is the reset process is forgotten by many after unplugging their battery. Definitely not an issue.

Oil-temp - Only a problem for those that track their car. Sure, it's slightly higher in some Z's than what the 2004.5 350z's ran under normal conditions (from what I've read), but daily street driving we should see zero negative impact. For tracking, an oil cooler not being an option or even standard is more of an issue.

"Clunky" MT - Nope. Is it a perfect MT, no, but I wouldn't say that there are issues. Most of the small nuances that people complain about apparently diminish quite a bit after some mileage gets put on the car.
