Is routine maintenance really any more expensive than it is on an Infiniti? I don't see why brakes or an oil change would be that different from car to car. Repairs are expensive, but I can get a warranty through the dealership I work for at a discount that covers bumper to bumper.

Yeah I'm not looking to do anything insane with it, I want the sport package more for the handling upgrades and better looking wheels it includes.
