CNET On Cars - Top 5: Most durable cars
#2
to be honest im surprised the Legacy made the list. but yeah 1st-4th gen Maxima especially are bulletproof, never had a major problem on my 3rd gen until 400,000km. ive worked on 4th gens with 400,000km and just the rad support is eaten out, everything else keeps truckin

A list of cars only, as he said no trucks or "big" SUV's, yet the Odyssey is number 4?
Anyway, I am not surprised the by the vehicles on the list. I have always said Toyota, Nissan, and Honda were the best. My father had bought 2 new mid 80's Subies and they rusted out pretty quick. I guess that left a bad impression on me early on, but in the last few years I have realized that Subaru is great too.

Maybe I'm late to the party here, but at 165k miles I've had to replace the power steering, alternator, radiator, harmonic balancer, ignition coils... I have issues with my heater core that I'm still working on. That's all in the past 5 months since I bought this beast. Despite there being a "J" at the front of my VIN, this particular specimen doesn't seem to be the pinnacle of reliability... I still love it and can't wait for things to stop breaking... but... I have an '04 made by a different Japanese manufacturer and at 165k miles it hasn't had *any* systems fail on me yet.

toodle oo
My wife reminds me of this every day... And I'm not shocked by the problems it's having.
Somewhat ironically, the previous owner's husband has been helping me fix it lol... The vehicle belonged to the previous owner's mother from the time it was new and was maintained by the father. It appears that he may not have maintained it as well as it was made out...
Too many dependent variables for a control group! I realize that my vehicle is not representative of *all* 99 Maximas, but I've been surprised by the sheer volume of problems I've had in the past 5 months. So I'm not trying to bash Nissan, and I really do love my car, but I can't say that my particular specimen has been overly reliable. Since I've done all the work on my own (with help) the overall cost of the vehicle is still very low.
