yes, the CV boots are wear-items. I agree with you. Ticks me off that they both broke 5K miles after I bought the car, though, lol.

I haven't been around very long I guess, but I have never had a car break the radiator or motor-mounts randomly before, though. Also, almost every rubber bushing on the car has had to be replaced. That's new to me also.

On the plus-side, the accessories ALL work, ALL the time.
sounds like you have had unusually bad luck with the car but it also sounds like you've unfairly judged all nissans based on that one car which is pretty lame

also bear in mind the G20, while a decent car, was a nissan sentra (their cheapest car at the time) dressed up and leathered out... it was the entry level infiniti for years. i'm not trying to make excuses for it but there's plenty of civic's, corola's, etc out there that have had the same issues with motor mounts and radiators because the parts put in these cars are from the lowest bidders to keep costs down
