I've owned a 2011 Nissan Sentra since it only had 10 miles. It's been 15 years and the only repairs I have had to do were my own mistakes (hitting curbs and such). I've only ever changed the bands once, but never touched anything else on the engine. The AC/Heater work the same as day 1. One of my windows won't go down with its own button, but I can still control it from the driver side. I've done basic maintenence, oil changes, new brake pads, new windshield wipers, etc. But haven't needed any major work done. Even the batteries have lasted in the car (though this specific year and model had a recall for faulty battery terminals).
The first 10 years or so, I drove it EVERYWHERE in CA. Road trips every weekend and driving through not small car friendly terrain.
In the 15 years, I crashed it twice. No serious injuries and no car blowing up (I've heard so many rumors that Nissans blow in accidents.. they don't anymore than any other car would). It's running a little funky now for the past 2 years, but again, completely my fault. The last crash was full speed at a curb and damaged the mainframe.
It's a little over 200,000 miles and I'm finally looking to get a new car, but im scared I won't find one as reliable. I've had this car since I was 18, I'm 32 now!
I got just over 7 years from the factory Varta battery in my old 2015 MK7. It was the smaller H4 size and always started flawlessly in the Canadian winter. It ended up failing in the early summer. It cranked rather slowly one morning and the voltage refused to go above 12.3, even after charging. It barely started when I went to get the new battery. I was lucky enough to not get stranded.
Got a Japanese one: Varta Automotive EFB Car Battery Q-85/115D23L 12v 70Ah 660A (EN) just over 1/2 the price of an Australian made Q-85. Got 6.5 years out of original from Japan 2019 using stop start most of the time.
Varta’dan vazgecmeyin. Zamaninda bahsettiginiz markalari kullandim 2 yil sonrasinda yolda kaldim. Kendi aracimdaki aku de Varta.
Clio 2014 aracım vardı s&s lu orijinal aküsünden sonra mutlu akü kullandım memnun kalmadım şuan Varta kullanıyorum çok memnunum ben yerinde olsam risk almam vartadan devam ederim
Halt nur die Klassiker, alle 15j mal eine Batterie tauschen oder die wasserpumpe.
I decided to get a 2019 titan at 55k miles haven’t had any major problems! But they do have an electrical problem with the battery. Fix: disconnect a grey plug that’s on the negative cable! It regulates the alternator voltage. It can cause the battery to fail quicker over time! But I like that the truck is always running on 8 cyl and still uses a power steering instead of electric steering!
We have a 2023 Rogue and had to have the original battery replaced only a few months in. Had the run around of multiple long battery tests.
Only problem was when a battery blew and that totalled my last Leaf after 154.000 km (98000miles) .
Aracım 2012 model 1.4 tsi golf 7, aracımın güncel aküsü artık dipleri oynuyordu, marşı 3-4 defa basınca alıyordu, bende bu sebeple aküyü değiştirdim, aynı şekilde mutlu akü yerine efb start/stop destekleyen varta aküden 72 amper aldım, önceki akü de 72 amperdi. Aküyü taktık ve de yakıt dibin dibindeydi, gittim benzin aldım ve aldıktan hemen sonra epc ışığı yaktı, araç epc’yi yakınca gaz yemiyor, max. 20 km’yi geçmiyor. Gaz kelebeğini temizledik, yakıt deposuna kurum temizliği için ilaç döktük ilk etapta söndü ama tekrar yaktı. Ecu’dan aküyü tanımlatıp beyin sıfırlaması yapılması gerekiyormuş sanırsam, bunu henüz yaptırmadım yarın yaptıracağım ama bu aküden sebep midir? Eski o bitik akü’de bile böyle bir problem vermemişti.
