Which To Buy?

Well, you're the poor sap who bought a used Subaru. Hondas and Toyotas
are much more reliable. Nissans are more like VWs - they'll last a long
time too, but demand careful maintenance.

 

I got rid of a Saturn (LS2) after 2 1/2 years 'cause of the rattles and
noises it was making. And it was only book valued at $8k by that time,
after having spent $21k for it new. I hear the Aura is much better, but
I'll let someone else risk their money.

Where did you get that tidbit? I have found the opposite to be true. The
Hondas need more tlc than the Nissans.

My Nissans (6 and counting) have all required less maintenance than my
Hondas. Their ABS doesn't fail if you don't change the brake fluid every
two years, their transmissions don't fail if you don't change the tranny
fluid every two years, etc.

Brake fluid deteriorates as does transmission fluid. It only makes sense
to change fluids to prolong the life of the machinery.

Whether it makes sense is not the point. The point is that it doesn't
matter with the Nissans and it definitely does on the Hondas.

In fact, unlike Honda, changing brake fluid is not on the maintenance list
for any of the Nissans and changing transmission fluid is only by condition,
not time or mileage.

But it matters to people who perform preventative maintenace on their
vehicles.

Just because Nissan forgot to include it on heir 'list' doesn't mean
that it doesn't have (or shouldn't) be changed.

I should add that I am the manager for a truck fleet (all automatic
transmission equipped), the transmission fluid and filtres are replaced
every year as part of the fleet's preventative maintenance program.

what's that based on? analysis? manufacturer spec?
