George, you're the last person who should be commenting on this kind of stuff. You, who put 170,000 miles on your car in less than 4 years - with the kind of mileage you put on it, it should be no surprise that you when you have to replace alot of things....

Overall my Maxima in its first 100K miles has never left me on the side of the road. Some items have had to be replaced, but I drive hard and autocross too. The things I've had to fix are standard wear items (tie rods, struts, etc). In fact, I'd say the Maxima has had about the same amount of problems in 100K miles as my Honda Accord and Acura Integra had in the same time span.

The Maxima is far more reliable than a BMW, and parts are cheaper George....as long as you know DaveB
