I am a diehard Nissan fan... I have owned a Stanza, 200sx, G20, SE-R Spec V & now I have an I35 & I have had great experiences with all vehicles.
My mom has a 03 Maxima (after owning a 93 for 160k miles; still running when sold it) & I have a 03 I35, and both vehicles are top notch in terms of reliability...
I will say that the quality of the I is better than the Maxima, but both are still great vehicles, and are just as reliable as the Camry/Accord/ES/TL.
I average about 42k miles a year on the I35, and have had to do nothing but routine work to the car (oil change, tire rotation, belts, etc); same goes for the Maxima.
Our 04 Titan has been a great car also; towing trailers, cars, going off road, daily driving with no problem besides belts squeaking.
