Just sold my Titan because it felt like it was made of graham crackers and jelly. Plus it left me stranded twice in a year. O V E R I T

Congrats on the pickup! Always liked those things.

I've heard a lot of complaints about Titans, something about oil burning IFIRC.

But anway yeah, Nissan's quality level has never reached Honda or Toyota's, but it's still better than American or Euro IMO.

The materials were the worst of any car I've ever owned by a long shot. It was garbage. Things just snapped off all the time. The engine was nice. The Avalanche I have now is far nicer, just can't fit two sportbikes in the bed.

I LOVED the Camaro....grew to DETEST something on it breaking every 3 months.

Even covered by warranty it was a bigger pain in the ass than I was willing to tolerate.

yup, we are planning a new car, and want something nice and fun, BMW and Audi come to mind, but reliability always brings them down.

personnally i think an Acura TL may be the right choice, though just saw a new Lexus Es350 (nice but not fun)commercial last night and that is nice lookin too.

add G37c to the list too!

yep, after 2 Ford and a Chevy I miss my old Acura and my old Toyota. the Japanese cars were both used and beat to shit, but kept going like there was never any abuse. my Ford both shit down and fell apart at about 100k and my Chevy truck has little things that are starting to go wrong, like the fact that my drivers side window only ever works when it is in the shop to get fixed

Can't afford a 911 yet....so....its a 370Z for now.

I'm not a douchebag....I'm an asshole...its an important distinction.
