Looking at trading in for a 370, but reluctant secondary to oil temp issues. Most posts here seem to claim that this is not really an issue with road use, however MotorTrend recently posted a review of the 370Z Roadster. They mention that although they enjoyed the 370Z, they REPEATEDLY experienced limp mode with spirited driving with high ambient temperatures.
I live in South Florida, and unfortunately think this issue will prevent me from buying the 370Z.
To my mind, it just seems really shortsighted to spend so much time and money developing the SyncroRevMatch while ignoring the oil temp issue. Personally, I think Nissan can keep the SyncroRevMatch and install an oil cooler with the sport package.
From the oil consuming RevUP 350Z, to the self destructing GTR transmission to the oil temp issue with the 370Z, it makes me wonder if Nissan has a quality control issue.
Just my new cents, I would appreciate any response.
Can you post a link to where MT said they "REPEATEDLY experienced limp mode with spirited driving with high ambient temperatures." I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

<edit> never mind, found it. They also said that the couple they tested concurrently did not have the temperature issue. Therefore I say the roadster they tested had problems. Of course MT is the worst car rag out there................
