As has been pointed out, the 370Z CSC is prone to failure. The steering lock (easy fix if you disable it if before it fails) was deleted sometime in 2010 MY, so it's only a problem with early models. Motor/trans/diff seem to be pretty rugged and can hold up to some serious mods. Cabin noise is pretty loud but the right tires can be a big help; sound damping can be added if you like a quiet interior. Stock radio is pretty crappy; Bose is (arguably) pretty good but may be a bit under-powered if you like your music loud. Handling is an order of magnitude better than Challenger/Mustang/Camaro - they may out run you in the quarter, but you'll wax their a$$es in the corners.

Should I get a used 370z from a previous year or should I just get a new 2016 Z? A lot of kinks should be worked out in the 2016 models, right? Has anything changed in the 2016's that you guys know of?
