I beg to differ. I have maintained my '95 NG900 perfectly (in accordance with factory specs) and the list of unscheduled maintenance items, many of them done twice, or many of them items that I have *never* seen fail in another car, defy explanation.

I've taken a Civic and a Corolla to 200k+ miles and in either case the total of unscheduled repairs over 200k miles has been about the cost of a single unscheduled repair on the NG900.
