Too each their own, but I loved my Spec-V and it never did me wrong. Even when I almost blew it up from a boost spike, it ran like a champ, and my friend bought it and beats the piss out of it, and it still runs perfect. Makes me sad to watch him drive it like that.

R&D is great but they can't sniff out every problem, which is why cars have recalls. Especially new platforms and engines, which is what the Spec-V was. It was the second year for the B15 platform and the first year for the QR25. It was bound to run into problems. Even the 2011 Jukes had recalls on leaky fuel rails/injectors already. Some recalls are just more catastrophic then others sadly.
Yeah i loved my spec v also, after i swapped the new motor and deleted the pre cats and secured the butterflys it ran great! Now i am gonna say though nissan never did have a fix for the pre cat problem and it did take them until 06 to figure out the butterflys
