Yes, I would buy the Z again. Of the problems mentioned about, I have had absolutely none. Most of them weren't even around in the 2004 models, so worrying about them on the 2005s is silly. As far as the STi and EVO go, they are completely different types of cars than the Z (sports sedans vs sports car). I'm a big EVO fan, especially the non-US version of the MR. The one coming here isn't too bad, and both that and the RS are great cars. I'm just not an STi fan. And the Supra will be a lot of fun, possibily even more than the Z. There it really comes down to do you want a new car or a used car
Need a little help
I know this will be biased, but I just wanted more or less, ideas and/or reasurance. 
I am selling my car or trading it in and am looking to get a new car in the spring. I currently have been set on a DB '05 6-spd Touring 350Z with NAVI and the works. I can't shaking the thoughts in the back of my head though. I have seen sooo many problems while surfing this board with these cars. I.E Feathering tires(nissan showing no sign or fixing...just giving temp fixes until you have to start paying out of pocket for tires and allignments), roof flex marks, cheap paint, trannies dieing(sometimes 3 to 4 to a car(, clicking in back axles, chattering clutch, and many more. When spending this kind of money(~$36,000) I have a lot of options on things I can do. I was just wondering if you had the oportunity to spend up to about $38,000, would you get the Z again? I have been looking at the STI, EVO, Z, used Supra TT, RX-8(but with the oil consumption, lack of power and having to keep this up there in the RPMS to have any sort of power...I no longer have this as a consideration), etc. Any opions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
