370z Reliability

Emac

Hi all,

Tried to do a search for this but didn't really get all the info I was looking for. I'm thinking of getting a 370z, either used or perhaps new. I'm likely going to give up my BMW 135i, which while being a great car, was very unreliable (in the shop a number of times over a one year period). It's a bummer but...

Anyway, I was considering 370z figuring Nissan is will be lower maintenance than BMW. But I saw the latest Consumer Reports which gave the car a black dot.

So my question is, is the car really that problematic? Does model year matter (thinking 2011 for the back-up cam). I saw the posts about paint and oil temps (seems to be only an issue when tracking), and the hatch but are people having major issues? I was also thinking a G37s, which got a good reliability rating, but I prefer the Z otherwise.

I just don't want to go from one unreliable car to the next, it would defeat the purpose.

Advice is much appreciated
