California has Lemon Laws to protect consumers. Search the state's Department of Consumer Affairs website. There is likely a pamphlet that you download that will provide some insight into your rights.

I've been lucky so far. I expect that I am on borrowed time when it comes to having a functional top.. I never owned a Nissan until the Z primarily because of stories I heard of reliability concerns. That said, I can attest that Honda/Acura products have their own fair share of issues as well, so it really is just a crap shoot whether or not your car will spend any significant time in the shop over your ownership period.
