AFAIK, the California was a nice car. We had one, no problems. My uncle STILL has one, still no problems. The box-type Sentra, however, really brought the quality image down.

I've had my share of Sentras and problems, but no more than any other car. It really does depend on the owner. I always had a so-so view of the quality of the Exalta, but my new press manager still has his 2000 Exalta, with no problems whatsoever.
