Nissan accounting for mishaps in their design

I agree, I think cars in general were made better back in the day. My 97, has 150K miles and the interior and outside are in great condition. I once had a Volvo made in 1990 and that thing was near invincible, I drove it into a cinder block wall (still learning how to drive, and stepped on gas instead of brakes by accident) and the bumper only got a few small scrapes, no dents no gashes, nothing.
My niece has a 2008 Honda Accord, with less than 1/4 my mileage. And they are constantly having to send it to the dealer for repairs. Wandering steering, brake issues, it goes on and on.

You may respect Ghosn for saving the company but in my eyes it's been all downhill.
I love the Nissans of old with their better build quality and better materials, you can beat the snot out of 'em and they keep coming back for more. Sure we all have occasional issues but overall they are great cars.
The newer Nissans have horribly cheap interior quality, are mostly bloated and overweight and have issues that Nissan doesn't owe up to.
I had an '03 Spec V that, like most early V's, had the disintegrating close coupled cat that pulled particles back into the cylinders, scoring them, and causing massive oil consumption and eventual failure of the engine. It took Nissan years to do anything about it, and even then alot of the owners took the blame from Nissan and were not given a new motor.
Nissan claimed that my '03 didn't suffer from this problem but that the '02 and '04 did...how the hell do you skip a year with the same exact engine???
I promptly sold it and now I have two old school Nissans instead, I won't buy another newer one from them, there's just to many cool newer cars out and coming out, that I want to try instead.
