General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My last two Nissans have each gone over 150,000 miles. Both were easy keepers, reliable, and inexpensive to service. I expect the same from this one. Servicing costs on the Cayman are a nightmare by comparison, despite long recommended service interval |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very reliable, have not had long enough to evaluate durability. |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I drove this car in 15 degree weather, It cranked up the same as 80-90 degree days |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
So far no problems. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
nissans have always been know to be well built and reliable. |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Relatively cheap to maintan for a sportscar. Nissan engines can run pretty high in mileage and be just fine. |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
never had to do any major repairs on my Z |
| 2004 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Strong, durable engine and drivetrain. Have only had standard maintenance - no repairs. This includes taking the car to the track and autocross on occasion. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My car has 50k on it and it was heavily track used by the previous owner. Basically no problems or major repairs. Pwr steering pump went out, given it was a first year model, notorious for bugs. After that, only needed new tires. |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Its engineered to last and the parts are reasonable, not cheap, but reasonable |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Nissan has a decent reputation for quality. After doing copious research I found the 350Z to have pretty darn good reliability for a sports car. |
