relax.....03s are fine....cuz i bought one back in 3/03 6/mt.....never had any major problems except for two front tires which nissan replaced under warranty. my buddy got rid of his wrx due to clutch and tranny problem also.
i normally do not keep a car longer than two years, but this 03z is a keeper.

03 performance, 28k miles, nothing replaced, new tires took care of the feathering. Drives like a champ. Love it! =)

Yes that is true. Camber can make wear uneven but it DOES NOT accelerate wear like toe does.

Thanks for chiming in guys. I feel much more at ease about my next purchase.

Get a cheap 03 because 03's with average miles should still have their drivetrain warranty for another 2 years..60 months warranty. I have an early 03.. September 02 in service date. Should be good until Sept 07 which is just short of 2 years. I DID have my tranny replaced about 10k miles ago and running good now.
