Your car has been well tested.

No mechanical issues other than the dreaded CSC failure. Mine was at around 11K covered by warranty. All's well since. Mine is a '12 bought new and now at 40k + Earlier models have the steering lock issue as well. Shop for the '12+ model years. There are early model years that may not have the issues mentioned. The Z is a great choice.

Csc will fail if youre looking at a manual.

Early models don't have an oil cooler.

Early models may also drink oil.

So what year was the first oil cooler put in to our Z's? If you don't mind me asking
