Nissan is the Chrysler of Japanese automakers offering cheap (price and quality) vehicles for the masses and reliability is always hit or miss.

I bought a 350Z new in 2006 and dailied it for 14 years. I maintained it, but it led a hard life too. Lots and lots of drifting along with a fair amount of time spent sideways on gravel roads.
Obviously my experiences, like your friends were anecdotal, but I think owning the car from new and actually performing maintenance on it meant that it held up pretty well IMHO. It wasn't perfect, but considering how hard I drove that thing, i was impressed with its durability.
