PS. the paint like mentioned is soft so keeping it waxed with Zaino will correct and protect the paint on this subject it has to be made clear most automaker are using water based paint.

+1 on the Zaino. I have been a Zainoite for over ten years and will use nothing else. Also, as someone mentioned, a clear bra is a must. I have no chips on my car at all after over a year and 24K miles. I travel south to Phoenix in the summer time quite a lot and have never had an issue with overheating, even on 110+ degree days. Of course, that would be different if I tracked the car, which I have not done yet.

I would say that my Z has thus far been as reliable as any car I have owned in my 58 years on this planet, and that includes three Miatas which are rock solid, especially the doors.

-Transmission has weak synchro's.
---Don't skip gears.

-Some drivers find that the car does actually overheat on their daily commute. How they actually drive is anyone's guess, but on the street I can't imagine being able to drive any of the cars I have owned to the point of overheating if everything was in working order.
----Get a cooler with a thermostat. Too cool is just as bad and maybe worse than too hot.

-Early models had a whining sound come from the PCM.
----Swap it out.

-Some 2009's used oil.
----Fixed via Nissan.

-The paint is 3mm thick. This is some of the thinnest in the industry. It allows for truly awesome "depth" of color.
----A clear-bra is mandatory.

-Some people complain about "cabin noise". I have driven 370's and don't think it's an issue.
----If you must, there are many products on the market like "Blockit", and others.

Can someone elaborate on the noises posted above? I think i may have one of these issue on my 2011.

I have just recently noticed a low pitched whining whenever i keep the gas pedal pressed down at lower rpm, it happens at every gear, and its becoming more noticeable now that i have paid attention to it. i plan on taking it to dealer to check out, but I'm doing research to see if others have had any experience with this issue or know what causes it. Thanks guys.
