Replying to: strehlow (Oct 16, 2008 9:13 am) The 2000's came out in US after they have been around for two years in Japan as Nissan Cifiaro (Spelling??). Hence it was not a TRUE first model year. I too bought first model year 2000 I30 and have been happy...but it was essentially third model year This MAX is totally new. Sanjay

Replying to: SergeyM (Oct 19, 2008 8:53 pm) Interesting observation. My 1995 Maxima was the last generation (4th) to be built in Japan. And, according to my Nissan service manager, was the best Maxima ever in terms of solid reliability and durability. Brake pads lasted 90k+ miles, rotors were not replaced until 150k, original clutch, driving chain never needs replacement, etc. And, the quality of the paint and finish is HIGHER than on my 2004 Acura TL, built in Ohio. I hate to say it, but in my own personal experience U.S. quality is simply not up to Japanese or German quality. Neither of my Acura's, both US built, have the precise fit and finish quality of my former Honda S2000. Proving there is a big difference between do-dads and craftsmanship. |

Replying to: habitat1 (Oct 22, 2008 8:26 am) Recently I replaced my 1995 G20 (Japan Built) with 2008 MDX (I believe built in Ontario Canada) The quality & craftmanship of G20 is/was far superiot them MDX. Just the type/quality/fit and finish of the headliner was enough to make the distinction... Love the MDX for power and drive...The paint, the cloth seats, etc were great...no fading, no sagging....

Replying to: habitat1 (Oct 22, 2008 8:26 am) Bottom line, Carlos Goshn ran Renault, that is a company that does not do business in the U.S. for a reason. But also, customers (myself included) keep going to Nissan dealers and buying this crap, the 09 quirks will soon be coming out too. |

Is there a way to watch a dvd without the e brake on? I know it's a safety but can it be over ridden like in the cadilac?
