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

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

One of the really sad things about the Fiat 500 is the way FCA is handling the brand here in the US. The Fiat 500 is actually many different cars, some good and some not good at all, but to most American buyers a Fiat 500 is just a Fiat 500. Nobody really knows if you are talking about the 500 hatchback (a true retro economy car), the 500L sedan/wagon (the dual clutch gearbox has not worked any better for Fiat than for Ford in the Focus/Fiestia), the Abarth (a real fun car for drivers only), or the 500X (Built on Jeep running gear With more style than off-road performance). Only the Abarth stands slightly apart since it is devoid of Fiat badges and costs a good deal more than most other "500" models. see full Fiat 500 review

Fiat used to have a so-so reputation because their cars rusted. This car has a 'not-rust-through' guarantee for something like ten or twelve years and is totally galvanized metal. It is a very stylish car, too. see full Fiat 500 review
