This is not the first or last saturn for my family, they have always been a reliable car for us that has required very little money to maintain see full Saturn ASTRA review |

Great vehicle for the price-it brings sporty value and European sensibility to the already friendly Saturn image. see full Saturn ASTRA review |

Unfortunately for the brand - no longer existing - this will bring resale values down somewhat because of public opinion on that. see full Saturn ASTRA review |

This vehicle is truly made for off-road. It performs very well on rough terrain and in deep snow right from the factory. see full Nissan Xterra review |

Nissan has a solid reputation for a reason - they make reliable and affordable cars. Generally nothing to get overly excited about, but a good performer. Except on the Xterra I love that profile. see full Nissan Xterra review |

Nissan has a lower reliability reputation than toyota and honda. While I agree with that in general, I would say that xterra is an exception: it is on par with 4runner and fj cruiser on reliability and durability. Still, Nissan looks like doesn't care about their reputation in this area. It is actually quite close to subaru in this area - their reputation looks like not important to them, because nowadays they try to impress buyers with all that "innovation and technology" bs, instead of worrying about keeping a reputation of reliability and durability. see full Nissan Xterra review |
