After owning a 1992 pulsar with 400,000 KM and it was still running strong when i bought my versa. i decided Nissan because of the build quality of my pulsar. and i can hope i can get the same life from my tiida as i did from the pulsar see full Nissan Versa review |

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 |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Kia doesn't have the best reputation, though I get the sense that it's slowly improving. Speaking personally, I would have laughed at the idea of buying/leasing anything from Kia even three years ago. However, in that time, I've had two: a 2011 Kia Sportage EX and, now, a 2013 Kia Optima SX Limited. The mediocre brand image is a unfortunate, because if you slapped another make's emblem on this car, people would probably be absolutely gushing over it. As I said, I don't think their image is improving, though. see full Kia Optima review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
poor trade in value but intend to keep long time due to great warranty; Kia discounting cars in USA to gain brand penetration; much better priced here than in Europe for the same car. see full Kia Optima review |
