Well I have not had any problems yet with my 07 other then I added some bolt ons but even those were easy fixes. I hear that alot of people have had problems with their clutch getting stuck when they are really driving like a mad man, but I have yet to experience any of these problems and I drive my car like I stoll it a couple times a week so I dont know if its a car problem or a driver problem. So far the only thing I have had to put into the car maintence why was a oil change at 3k. Only other thing I can think of which is minor is the tire pressure sensor to me seems a little to sensitive but on the other had it is doing its job and all you do to fix that is give your tires more air. So if my experience of the car is anything like it was engineered to be you shouldnt run into too many problems over a five year time span that wouldnt be covered under warranty.

I have not had a problem with my 07 Grand Touring. I put the Nismo intake and Cat exhaust and is all fine. On highway gets about 23-25mpg, in the city Not good but I have a heavy foot and do alot of wheel squealing. Get the 6 spd, alot more fun. Good luck keep the forum up to date.

The only problems I've heard about with the 07+ is that the clutch would give them problems, but other than that nothing else. Post up some pics when you get one.

I haven't had a serious problem with my 07 Z. If you're getting a new Z, I'd recommend the Automatic transmission.

if you're buying an 08 you have at least 3 years before you have to worry about any problems

and I can't stand automatic's, takes the joy out of driving

I agree dont go automatic its not really driving, get the 6 speed you'll be glad you did.
