Most recently it was an '08. They both seemed similarly well built. It is hard to tell how well built a new car is until you have put a good 10k (or 50k) miles on it and it has had a chance to shake a few things loose. That whole "initial build quality" is kind of a scam in my opinion.

The Miata has been around for about 20 years and has been considered a pretty well built car. I can't comment on Nissan's reputation just because I don't know much about the 350z (never liked it). My Infiniti Skyline 350GT is in great shape even after 20k miles so I consider it well built. Considering the price and halo status of the 370z I would expect it to be more similar to my Skyline than, say, a Versa or Sentinel.
