 Bought this car new in December, 1999, 5-spd manual. Changed oil every 3,000 miles, maintained according to dealer and Nissan requirements.  Did slip on maintenance a few times; but car never had issues as described by other owners. Car driven as daily commuter and for long trips, driving was a dream; "drove it like I stole it"!  My baby is now hitting close to 10 years old and now having some issues.  Tiny oil leak, bottom of engine somewhere leave a couple of drops every time I park and transmission getting whiny.  But still runs as strong as day driven off show room floor.
