I disagree as long as the hardtop is available. It wasn't available for the S2000, and therefore I never bought one years ago. The convertible option for the Z doesn't apply to me nor does it bother me.

The Z is not perfect, but it doesn't have to be. Some Z owners sound like women looking for the perfect man. Despite the shortcomings of the Z, I think it is the right car for me...so I live with it. Then again I did buy a 2012.

Cars can be moded, upgraded, changed, tuned, made prefect if you put time and money into them. On the other hand...WOMEN, well. I am not crying but they could have done a better job on some of these issues. I did say I was just venting.

i love my 09 370 50,000 on it never been in the shop. except for a bad gas cap.
never has burned a drop of oil. and the 350 i had was ok.

with all that being said i'm going to wait another 12 to 20 months and if nissian doesn't up HP and torque to better levels. i'm switching to a good old v8.

maybe a good used c6 vette. but it's been a great ride so far with the Z.

Yes, you did say you were venting. And I understand that you've encountered many issues already with the car...I'd be upset too. That's why I made my 2012 comment because many of the issues had been sorted out by then. The woman comment wasn't particularly for you actually.

Don't give up on Nissan just yet. Many of the Z issues would not have been uncovered during the developement and primary testing phases. We're all long term test drivers if you think about it. I know it's frustrating, but even Nasa and Lockheed f*** up sometimes.
