I bought my X, an '07 OR, before I started cruising for forums and other information. I'm pretty much EXACTLY what the X target demographic is - a mountain biking, rock-climbing, off-roading (though not hardcore rock crawler), caffeine swilling fool. After negotiating and incentives, I got my new X for just a hair over 23.5k (stickered @ 27.9k). Overall, I think it was quite a steal in today's market.
Now, I know there is no perfect vehicle. But as I started cruising the forums, you start to hear about failing diffs both front and rear, clutch issues, brake and rotor problems...the list goes on. For me, the first time I opened the fuel door the spring clip broke loose and now the door swings open. Yesterday I was lowering the hood rod, and the plastic grommet/collar popped out and won't go back in properly. In addition to the big stuff, there are these irritating little things that just shouldn't occur on a modern vehicle.
As I said, I do love my X. But occasionally I feel a little swindled by the overall quality, especially given Nissan's reputation. Am I alone?
