Great post!
Put things into perspective. An
any forum, you are going to hear about issues, defects, complaints.
There are thousands of members on this forum, I reckon. I wonder how many of the folks who complain about "clunking when shifting" are just lousy at working a manual, especially a manual in a sports car.
I won't even get into the amount of BS I've read here in the threads regarding oil.
The hatch issue? Let's not forget this is a first-year car. There has always been a history of problems with first-year issue, regardless of manufacturer.
To put things into an even finer perspective: This car is the JD Power award winner for initial quality. That drowns out al the noise I read on this forum. Even a high-pitched noise coming from "somewhere in the rear of the car". I too am "old", and my high-frequency hearing loss from too many years of electric guitar has seen to that.
I'm buying a Z this week.
Cheers!
