MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Nissan has a good reputation for reliability. |

The 3.5 liter motor has been around a while and is a proven performer. I know that I can count on this motor and tranny for years to come. We currently have 36,000 miles on it and have not had one problem with either of those things. |
