CR misses the basics of collecting survey data. First, their sample is restricted to CR readers. The demographics of CR readers is unlikely to be representative of those of us who buy Z's or any other sports car for that matter. Second, they overlook one of the basic weaknesses in survey data - it invites extreme responses. That is, you are most likely to complete a survey if you have a strong opinion, especially a negative one. Third, CR's main audience are not sports car owners. So it is possible that those responding are poorly educated about the realities of owning a sports car. The Z is not a Camry.
Anyway, the Z comes with a warranty!
