Message	Winter & summer. I occasionally use it. Notes: Overall, comfortable, bit of a harsher ride than other comparable luxo-units but nothing like the Z, even with stock suspension. Biggest problems: electrical modules - Window regulators need replacement over time. 350Z & G issue - Fuel level senders needed replacement, also Z33 & G issue - Power trunk actuator was replaced in 3 years after failure... fully electronic, no key backup. - Power seat motor failed within 5 years (and no, my wife is fairly small :p) - Cam sensor failed last year, straight module replacement, but caused starting issues. Other than that, been pretty decent. Minimal oil consumption, also a known issue with G's & Z33's. Cheers, MY Zs ARE HYBRID VEHICLES, THEY RUN ON GASOLINE AND MONEY "I expressed no attitude, I'm correcting you. If you don't like it, try not to be wrong next time.
