I'll be keeping my eye on the 370Zs to see how they do over the next several years in terms of actual real world reliability and used prices. They're right in there with my default MX-5 (eyeing the 2009+ NCs), an R56 MCS, S2k, and maaaaayyybe a C6 Corvette, probably a base model with at least the Z51 suspension setup. |
Don't know about the 370Z but I drove the 06 350Z with an open mind, while out shopping and driving most everything out there. I found it to be barely more sporting than my 03 zhp sedan, if that... It's a car that doesn't live up to its paper specs. I preferred the s2000 and the rx-8 to the 350Z for feel, excitement and build quality.
The 370Z is supposedly much better, but I don't have a very high opinion of nissan. The caymans are pretty reliable actually, you can't believe how many of them are being subjected to track torture, I think they are pretty bulletproof for everyday use. Not many are past 40 or 50k miles, so ymmv.
