10' 370z 55k - steering lock, axle clicking

11' GMC Acadia Denali - 70k - Radio face plate, Transmission failure, TCS failure, water pump, AC compressor, 2 out of round rims, water link in cabin, navigation display failure, tail light lenses, power seat return, radio amplifier. SOLD that piece of sh!T!!!!

14' Altima...... 4K ;)

Love me some Nissans....
I feel that for every one of you, there are 5 of us Toyota guys that can say the same, lol


Also, expectations have changed. Back in the day if shít rattled, you didn't complain really, it was the 70s-80s, but in today's world, I REALLY DO expect perfection or close to it in my $30-40k NISSAN, I wouldn't expect a Sentra to be the same as my FULLY loaded Maxima, but I expect the Maxima to be 100%


Oh, did I mention that it CREAKS... The WHOLE chassis and roof... So sketch...

EDIT: Actually, like our 1994 Volvo when it had 160k miles and was in 2-3 accidents.

Oh I had Toyotas too. I was just covering the Nissans. lol

Never ever had any problems with my Tundra, 4Runner, or Sequoia. Not...one...problem in over 150k miles between them. Yeah, I drive a lot. ;)

I just prefer the Nissan style, gauges etc. Fan I guess.

Oh, and I forgot my 10' Maxima - 50k - no issues. (wife's car)

I can see that, that's why I chose the Maxima over a third Avalon and chose the 370Z to compliment my ISF, just made the mistake of buying a second Maxima... Lol

So pretty much all high-performance cars whether they be from Kia all the way up to Bugatti Veyrons are POS's in one way or another, right? They're not "Go Pro proof" I imagine.

There's no such thing as a durable high-performance car. That would be oxymoronic if it was so.

Consumer Reports puts Porsche high on the list for customer satisfaction and reliability. I wonder how true that is? Is it true that "you get what you pay for" with Porsches ($90k+ cars)? I'm talking Porsche 911s...because I'm seriously considering one.

Looks like you've never heard of a Supra.
And Porch ranks #1 in initial quality, oh, and Porch's number one most reliable aspect, their owners

The steering rack was replaced due to clicking noise. All in all, it was handled very well at my dealership. It was stressful at times, but they didn't stress me at all. This experience is what kept me from fully letting go of my car.
Yup I agree, it could always have been much much worse. then again maybe I'm just loyal to the cars I love.

I had 6 transmissions replaced (all due to csc failure) 2 clutch masters replaced, heater core replaced driver side window regulator, and a differential replaced all under warranty. (this was before i worked for Nissan)

Except for Porsche's latest GT3 incident. I guess at least they are owning up to it.

I hear that MKIV TT's aren't as "boost proof" as many say. I hear its limit is 550 hp...after that you're asking for disaster. That iron block, 3.0 I-6 starts to wobble after 600hp I hear.

I don't drive my wife's Altima like I drive the Z. Somehow just a little anti-climactic you know. So if you drive more aggressively it is only natural that rattles and squeeks will pop up. Aggressivly driven Porsche, Beemer, or Merc (yea I heard Toyota mentioned as well) will all develop rattles and squeeks over time.

Still reliable sports car, and I know MANY supra owners on stock drivetrain a pushing 700+WHP without issue. The only close friend I know that sold his Supra, sold it because he was getting 7MPG average, LOL

This thread is garbage...
I was waiting to read something outstandingly wrong. These problems you get anywhere. Premium brands only get worse. IE, BMW.
