So, I expect there to be a disproportionate amount of "problem" posts.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as how automotive forums work regarding manufacturer issue. Even the most reliable cars have the same posts on their forums. Some problems are ligit, others not so much.

I bought my 370 7 spd auto sport touring in march and must say , I LOVE MY CAR ! I use it for a daily driver and have 16000 miles on it , have increased rear wheel hp by 72 hp , average mpg is showing 25.4 for the last 6000 miles . I have had my car on a track actually racing at full throttle or hard braking for 20 solid min with no oil cooler and no oil temps over 245 ever. the speeds were from 50mph to 150 plus every lap. I have never burned any oil that i can tell since the 1st oil change and go 3750 miles between changes . My paint is excellent , the hatch has worked flawlessly , the car is tight and I have had no problems at all. My dealer gave me three oil changes and washes with the sale and honored this.
Now I bought a z in 1984 and had many problems with it many the dealer did not warranty. I could go on and on but I am a very happy customer with the best looking car nissan has ever produced , and also the best quality I had from them.

I bought 370 7AT base in Oct and +1 on LOVE MY CAR.

No problems at end of break-in. I don't even think the road noise is as bad as the mostly incredible reviewed criticized. Maybe bc I have 18" and cars were tested on 19's & less rubber. Anyway - nothing good audio can't take care off...

The oil thing is becoming urban legend - a Dodge owner asked me about it this weekend while getting my Clear Bra. Admittedly, I was concerned about it based on all the hype, but as a daily driver, it's just not a factor.

I have PW, which had some paint complaints (plastic not matching). Mine looks perfect. It does stain yellow from sap and birds, so put on a couple of coats of NXT and keep microfiber in the car to remove suspect objects early as possible.

I'm glad to see a higher mileage 370 getting MPG over 20. I'm still low miles and the jump from 15 to 19 made my day. And now there's hope for more

Trying to keep it in good enough condition until hopefully I can eventually make it a weekend/hobby car. Look forward to having it around a while...
