From the cdn forum, there's been 1 transmission replaced on a '20, or '21 (i forget).
The early units didn't have proper amts of fluid. This gets taken care of during the 1st l.o.f.
No issues reported so far on any '22 that's been delivered.
Your Consumer Reports link is speculation.
Anything can be "potential".

With regard to the 2022 Chevy Corvette specifically, Consumer Reports identified the engine, transmission, drive system, paint, and trim as potential problem areas.

Consumer Reports is just plain terrible. I cannot understand how anyone can view them as a reputable source of information.

I like the concept but in practice, I agree with you. Even where they do testing, it is almost solely focused on performance out of the box. The vast majority of people value longevity over performance in the first week and CR does very little to address this. The rankings based on surveys are laughable. You self-select a group of people (those that pay for CR), then from within that group, people self-select whether to reply to the survey. It's hard to find a mechanism that is further detached from a random sample (at least CR probably has a reasonable geographic distribution but in most other metrics I suspect those replying fit in a narrow demographic).
 
I know people say not to believe everything you read on the internet, but when it comes to understanding known/potential problems, there's no better place to go than an internet forum full of like-minded enthusiasts who probably spend way too much time in/under their vehicle as well as on their keyboards.

I have absolutely no love for the modern Z's (nor any modern Nissan except the GTR). I haven't driven one so maybe there is magic behind the wheel. There are cars with less practicality. You could easily use a Z as a year round dd if you wanted.

I absolutely love the Z370...one of my 'attainable dream cars' ...

I think I've helped push out at least 2 or 3 in my lifetime from snow...drivers were still on summers during surprise snowstorms.

Buddy had one and loved it...his plate was something along the lines of 'WNTAV12'
 
I loved the interior of my 1990 300ZX. It and the original NSX's were so timeless they wouldn't look out of place in a brand new car today. Can't say the same at all for the later Z models.

Loved that car, those were the old glory Nissan days when they actually made good cars. Maxima, Sentra SE-R, even the "hardbody" Pathfinder back then was a standout vehicle

Their current line up and product is atrocious. The Skyline can only carry them so far.

Looks mint, is it the twin turbo?

Have the same steering wheel on my '93 240SX, minus the Z badge.

If we opt to get out of the SUV it’s on my short list. I would love to go EV but can’t sell myself on it due to the lack of infrastructure still.

The Kia Stinger is also on that list, was nice to see it get a big screen update for this year. But I do not like the changes to the rear. 😡

My BIL had a sweet M240...I couldn't make the numbers work.

I didn't buy the M235 because I was terrified of an older BMW and the salesguy was a douche...so I wasn't going to give him the money....

And look at me now...Volting all the way!
 
It's sad they don't come as manuals anymore. I find BMW these days are less ultimate driving machines and more bored housewife pose machines.

I agree. I used to be a big Nissan fan, as a kid I remember bombing around in a 510, then a 620 pickup. Later I drove a 95 SMZ, a 2000 Pathfinder, an 05 Q45 -- all excellent cars. In 2013 I traded in the Q45 for an Altima -- that ended my fling with Nissan.

they do offer manuals in some models. unfortunately the bar for the ultimate experience has moved as DCT/PDK/etc has all surpassed manual inputs.
