Yeah, chiming in on consumer reports. I have the magazine. They said the genesis coupe is more reliable than our cars. Hardly anyone on our site complains about anything and when they do its minor crap. We actually sound like spoiled babies on here sometimes. Like we own a porsche or somethin. Hahaha.

Go in the gencoupe site. " my tranny dead." Mymotor dead" my car won't start" rattles everywhere, parts falling off. And they still love there cars. Lmao. Talk about dedication. Over here the trunk gets stuck and you trade to a mustang.

The camaro forums too. Axles breaking. Electrical shorts, tranny issues, squeaks and rattles.

My car is first year car. Its like car # 3,5xx. Not one rattle. My only complaint is that the hatch gets stuck on cold and humid days.

Point is, I would love to know how CR claims the Z is unreliable. Oh and get this. They said our cars are the worst for depreciation. Show me a chesp used Z that hasn't been abused and I. Will go wash that car everyday for a week. Lol

Really? It's a sports coupe. Do you review Buicks and complain that they don't pull 1G on the skidpad?
No kidding. These all sound like the exact traits that I expect and look for in a sports car. Geez.

Funny thing is i read most of those reviews before going and taking a test drive and you know what....i proved them all wrong in one test drive. To me coming from an econo box base chevy cobalt the interior of the Z is leaps and bounds better and more quiet than a church on a weekday, also even after i flogged the car for around 10 minutes i did not see the oil temp gauge go a hair above 180. Perhaps i was lucky, but i find that most of these reviews that are done on the Z seem to be very biased as i did not encounter one problem on my test drive that was mentioned in any review article.

I'm surprised they didn't mention how cheap and thin the doors are.

Not to mention that one of the other major publications had the Z as one of the top resale values that past few years. CR is retarded, stick to reviewing efficient light bulbs and refrigerators.
