could you post the differences in quality between the 3rd gen and 4thgen? I remember you posting about cost-cutting steps Nissan took when producing the 4th gen. Might make a nice sticky.

Thanks.

Wake up!

 

I could do such a write-up, and it would be easy, like being Barry Bonds with a rookie throwing fastballs over the middle of the plate. However, I don't think it would accomplish much and cause a lot of flame wars that I don't feel like getting into.

I know 3rd gens are better, the 4th gens know 3rd gens are better built, and Kev knows the the 3rd gens own him already.

What more would a write up prove?

 

3-GENS were built when Nissan was owned by Nissan and actually had money in the bank.

4-gens were built when Nissan didn't have two pennies to rub together

5-gens... Poor attempt at building a car as good as the 3-gen was.
















get over it, it's just a flame.

 

You 3rd gen owners are so bitter...

 

Yeah, just look at our replacements.......:

 

3rd gens ARE better built than 4th gens.

As far as flames go...since when have *you* been afraid of flames? Some Evil Moderator you are...

Maybe you could PM the 3rd gen vs. 4th gen thing to me?

Kev...we all know the truth...so stop the denying it.

 

I dont think Bill ever said the 4th gen was better than the 3rd gen..

 

I don't think he did either.

 

Sure did!! And for those who want me to refresh them about my rattling 99 SE-L, I will. Nissan did indeed invest more time and quality building the 3rd generations. Oh by the way, I'm not a moderator, or evil, or old, or bitter!!

 

Have you considered joining the Minima club?

 

Wow what a testimony!! I think I'm feeling lightheaded from the truth that just spurt forth from your mouth!! I need a chair...

 

Yes the 3rd gens were better built than the 4th gens... just dont let my car hear that....

However there are LOTS of things I love about my 99....

 

Would you like MCA #91?

 

Yup! There are good things about the 4th generations though. Actually many things. But to be precise, there is nothing like that VQ!
