Where did you get that tidbit? I have found the opposite to be true. The
Hondas need more tlc than the Nissans.

My Nissans (6 and counting) have all required less maintenance than my
Hondas. Their ABS doesn't fail if you don't change the brake fluid every
two years, their transmissions don't fail if you don't change the tranny
fluid every two years, etc.
