Which Nissan 370Z years should you avoid?
No Nissan 370Z model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Nissan 370Z year has 17 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2010 (110).
What are the best Nissan 370Z years?
The Nissan 370Z years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2014 (10), 2012 (16) and 2013 (17). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
