There are always lot's of choices but I've had problems with cars with price points far above what the Z costs - different vehicles from different manufcturers and/or that cost tens of thousands more are no guarantee of perfection; either long or short-term.

The Porsche Boxster engine problems (requiring brand new engine after relatively low miles) comes to mind for one example; a current edition of which starts at around $47K for the base or $57K for the "S". I consider Porsche to be one of the best manufacturers in the world but even they "aint perfect".
