I've owned Nissans since 1987. None of them were junk. What do you base that on?

I've had Altimas, a Maxima, and now a Murano. Wife has a Rogue. Both of us always happy with the Nissan product and we haven't had to call AAA for a tow since 1986.

The Murrano was complete garbage in particular. Repeatedly had a problem with the drive train. Its a widely known problem I found out later.

Have 2 close friends that had the 350zx. One went around and around with the Nissan dealership when the motor blew up twice. The other one with the 350Z had to have the tires REPLACED every 3500 miles because the suspension was poorly designed. The DEALER admittedly to it and they were replacing the tires, for free, every 3500 miles. He finally got tired of that and got rid of it.

I myself had 2 1990 300zx Nissans and they chewed up high performance, expensive tires in less than 2 years. And the Sentra I had bought for my daughter was always overheating.

My mechanic finally asked me why kept buying those POSs. I do understand this is anecdotal and I didn’t buy any of these vehicles new, but both the 350ZX owners’ were bought new. My sister also had a 350Z she bought new and she loved it.

I bought a Nissan Sentra SER back in the early 90’s. It was lame attempt at being called a pocket rocket by today’s standards. I drove it for about 10 years. If you can get 10 years out of a car with no major hassles, that is a good run.
The reason I didn’t buy another Nissan was I didn’t like the new owner’s tactics for repair and sales.
