2008 versa SL hatchback, when do you change belt or chain, what else do you change at this time? 94,777 miles

There's a taxi outfit by me that uses Nissan Versas with the 4spd auto for taxi service. They get over 200K miles out of them between engine/trans swaps.

That being said, as much as a timing chain sounds nice from a marketing standpoint, these massively long bicycle chains our modern multi-overhead cam engines use are scarier to me than a T-belt. Lots of potential for oil leaks around the housings for these chains as well.
