On a side note, after what CR said about the Iphone 4 and the bullshat that was caused from a really minor antenna issue
I completely disregard their opinion on products.

One problem, this isn't a Consumer Report opinion or judgement. It's a survey report from the 370 owners, that CR did.

Even though my oil consumption led to a new short block, the car reliably ran every day. The oil cooler issue is no big deal to me even though I needed one. I just bit the bullet and got one. Why the warranty could be void after installation by Nissan is nuts.

I've only had the car for 10 days. However, it appears well made. The interior seems well fitted with good materials. Comparable to my 2004 BMW 325 CI.

I agree but I guess the first part of my post didn't make that clear.

Regardless, I disregard their opinion now.
