Overall it doesn't seem like a terribly high maintenance car at all. This is a car that can smoke ferraris and lambos. Of course it will cost more to maintain than a maxima or altima.

Prices include labor. Dealer charges anywhere from 70 to 95 bucks for tranny fluid and you need 10 litres for a flush. I found 10 bottles for 600 bucks online. Diff was about the same gap. Nissan doesn't mind if you bring your own fluid!
Front rotors were $1200 on the forums, and pads were $435.
If you do your own oil changes, Mobil 1 synthetic can be had for 7 bucks a bottle in bulk, compared to $11 per for Castrol Edge. $20 a bottle at Bob Smith BMW plus tax!
That Car and Driver article is total BS, and its from 2008.
1. Had my oem runflats removed and they are fine for remounting. Their difficult to remove because of the stiff sidewalls, but if done properly, no prob.
2. Im running non oem tire size setup, and Nissan is going to replace bellhousing under my powertrain warranty.
