Hello from Central Illinois

[Gars]

Name is Gary and I've finally hit the midlife crisis at age 52.

I've decided to look at a fun car to drive rather than limiting myself to a Honda Accord and F150 Ford truck. They cover all of the utilitarian functions I have, but I want something fun.

The three cars I'm looking at are 1) Mazda MX5, 2) Nissan 370Z, 3) C6 Corvette.

My major concern with the 370Z is Consumer Reports Predicted Reliability score from their April 2011 issue which is the lowest level.

Why do they think the 370Z will be unreliable?

One fellow speculated the engine of the 350Z had problems and the 370Z engine was a modified version of that engine and would be prone to more problems. I have no idea.

So what are the major maintenance problems with the 370Z?

When I bought my Gl1800 Goldwing motorcycle or the 2004 Rune, both forums were a wealth of information about the various problems associated with each year and type of bike.

Thanks for your help.

Gary
