I have an '09, In San Antonio as well. Replaced CSC @ ~45k mi. Need to do the steering wheel lock recall. No oil issues. knock on wood...

I own two first year models :tiphat:

fear of '09 problems? then just get a '10, thats what i have running at ~56K miles with no issues "knock on wood"

I have an 09. Almost 40k miles. no issues. pulled steering wheel lock fuse long ago!!!!
...thinking of trading in for a 2014 Z though.

Knock on wood, my '09 has far fewer issues than my '03 350Z. Burning oil? Not at all even with the turbos since 22k. Steering wheel lock? Simply pull the fuse or have the dealer replace it with an updated one. As for clutch hydraulic issues, it can affect any model year because they use the same part. However, they switched to DOT 4 fluid, which seems to have alleviated the issue. Still, it's better to ditch the cruddy OEM master and slave cylinders for aftermarket ones and use DOT 4 synthetic.

Also, all years shred tires at will.

I have an '09 and the car is just too sexy, reliable, and awesome for public roads. 37K miles without a single problem!
