Everyone says that Nissan makes the most reliable engines ever; and they weren't lying. My mom still drives this, and even with its 175,000 miles on it, I've never had to repair it (myself or for her). The paintjob's clearcoat seems to have suffered, and that may pose rust problems in the future, but it's a very comfortable and sound car otherwise. Despite its reliability, it suffers a little in fuel efficiency as compared to the other 4-cyl sedans that I've owned.
