I am more or less hoping (being a first time Nissan buyer)this car will have very few problems. I want a car that I can drive with minamal maintenance problems. see full Nissan Versa review |

As far as I know, the Japanese group of cars are all pretty reliable and for sure, far better than domestic brands. see full Nissan Versa review |

Nissan has always had a great reputation and image of sports cars and reliability. Not too cheap and not too expensive. see full Nissan Versa review |

It is very weak on reliability compared to Toyota and Honda in consumer reports, and seems to be weakening on the True Delta charts. see full Nissan Versa review |

It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review |

I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review |
