That is blatantly rubbish - It would probably cost Nissan $300 max to have fitted an oil cooler to the cars. If they passed that cost onto customers in the basic price of the car nobody would have noticed....
I with you 100% on this point. When I read the "beyond the reach" posting I really got a chuckcle out of it. As you said "rubbish".

Not necessarily with you on this point. The number of those overheating MIGHT be a bit over-exaggerated. Many of the complaints have not mentioned whether their reported temps are for PROLONGED perioids of time or just for a few minutes at a time while they sit in traffic but then temps reduce to within normal ranges once traffic starts moving again.

No one should have to sit in traffic keeping an eye on the temperate gauge waiting for traffic to start moving! Even if it's for a "few minutes"! That overheating will catch up with you sooner or later!
