I was like,

tech-"yes sir, brand new csc and we test drove it to make sure everything was good"
Me- "well if you don't mind, take a seat in my car again"
tech-"Shiit..."

had to leave it over night, the new one failed in less than 24 hours lol

Replacing a failed part with another of the same kind. Nissan is pure genius!

My warranty will actually cover to install a non nissan csc, just didn't have the money at the time. No worries it'll go out again, 3rd times a charm

I have several friends that have FIAT 500C ABARTH, they love them, but they also have several Alfa's to drive as well...

i know a senior mechanic at a local Nissan dealer/stealerhip and he says they never see any 370's come in for repair. Take it for what it's worth.
My Z never has any issues. Knock on wood.
Not discounting your feelings OP, if you don't like it you should move on.

You are right the pain on the Z is horrible, I mean a fly can hit it an the pain will chip.

I rode in my first 'new' Mini this last week. It was my cousins wife's DD. Made a lousy impression.
It looks just fine and he says it goes great and gets good gas mileage.
I just couldn't get over how crappy it rode and how much the interior 'rattled' around. WTF? These are modern cars. I would expect them to be real tight.
Opening and closing the door felt awful. I just can't imagine how bad it will be in a few years when there's some mileage on it.
My Z with Swifts feels less 'rough' and stiff and is way more compliant over bumpy stuff. The Mini is a unrefined go kart in comparison.

Well, yeah, you can't repair something you never sold in the first place!

Report back with what they think in a few years. What they think of them when they're new doesn't indicate their reliability over time. I don't think anyone disagrees with them being fun; the issue brought up here was if you could expect them to be trouble free over time. That's why I have such an issue with ratings for car 'Initial Quality'. WTH?

47k and some change. It's an '09 though so beyond the warranty. Guy called at lunch and said he's pretty sure it's a bent/broken fork or dislodged pin but couldn't be positive until he dropped and popped the tranny.

You said they have Alfas to drive, like that's a GOOD thing.
Real fun cars, but also junk if you put enough miles on them to find out. Parts? Forget it. Don't ask me how I know.
They went away for a bunch of years too. Just long enough to come back and re-fool a bunch of new pooches who don't know otherwise.

Which could also mean it's time to check your brake pads.

09 Z here also, bought used sitting at 128,000 when i picked her up and now sitting at 132,000....engine itself is a replacement that was put in back in 2011 so engine itself has a little over 100,000....still fires up and purrs like a kitten and no squeaks or rattles, aside from having to catch up on all the maintenance the previous owner didnt do, the car has been trouble free
