Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - 2010 Consumer Reports Owner Survey says Z is 45% below average in reliability

Perhaps the Z drivers go a little harder on their cars than the average G owner?

Aside from transmission problems with the 6MT, I think the Z is very mechanically sound. But I agree that the paint was terrible. It's the worst I've had on any car. I know some people had some chipping issues on the front and rear bumpers (I didn't) but my Z was riddled with squeaks, rattles, and of course, ECU whine (2009).

But as far as I'm concerned my issues were all quality issues, NOT reliability.
