Greetings, new member here.
We currently have some "yard art" in the form of a 2003 Altima 2.5, apparently with a dead engine (pre-cat failure, I have questions about that, but that will be another post). That car had major issues, almost from day one, and this is just the icing on the cake.
Nonetheless, my girlfriend is looking at a 2009 2.5S. The car suits her needs, she likes the styling, the price is reasonable, and the local dealer has been pretty decent to deal with. (And the CVT is cool!) Nissan, on the other hand, has been no help at all and will not stand behind their product, IMO, so I am loath to buy another one after the nightmare the other one has been.
Has anyone put a decent amount of miles on a newer model, and what has been your experience as far as reliability goes, what issues have you had? I'm trying to figure out if they have gotten their $*** together with this engine and this car.
Thanks!
Shecky
