Nissan New Car Reviews

A Poor Man’s Infiniti G37?
It used to be that you always had a choice when you bought a midsize car. You could select the traditional four-door sedan, or you could opt for the sportier coupe. That’s no longer is the case. Now only two moderately priced midsize cars are offered both ways—the Honda Accord and [...]

The New Z Roadster Scores
Following up on last year’s introduction of the redesigned 370Z Coupe, Nissan has brought forth its drop-top sibling, the 370Z Roadster for 2010. All the improvements that were incorporated in the Coupe are also found in the Roadster.
Like the Coupe, the 2010 Roadster has more design detail in it than [...]

Stripped Versa Is A Good Value
When I learned that the new base model of the Versa was coming my way, I had trouble suppressing a groan—I was not enthused. But when the car arrived, I was pleased to see that it looked a lot like the higher priced Versa sedans. It had full-size wheel [...]

The latest generation Altima, which is now in its third year, is a solid competitor because it matches up favorably with the Accord and Camry in size and equipment, and offers some distinctive features of its own.

A Good Truck That Draws Little Interest
Although 2008 was a terrible year for the auto companies, Americans still bought over a million full-size pickup trucks. However of that number, only 33,000 were Nissan Titans.

A Worthy Successor
Nissan had to walk a fine line when redesigning the new Z car. After all, they were replacing an icon that had attracted 250,000 customers worldwide. They sure didn’t want to screw up a good thing. Fortunately, for all of us who have admired the Z, Nissan got it right.
You may be surprised [...]

Late Arrival Makes An Impact
Nissan was rather late getting its Rogue compact crossover SUV to market, but once it arrived, it was well received. Kiplinger’s magazine named it “Best New Small Crossover,” and Parents Magazine gave it a “Best Family Cars for 2008” award. The public has taken to the Rogue as well. Nissan [...]

Nissan Revamps Murano
Nissan had to walk a fine line when redesigning its popular Murano crossover SUV. They wanted to make improvements, but didn’t want to alter its styling too much. After all, styling is what made it so popular in the first place. Although the 2009 Murano looks much like last year’s model, and its [...]

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Nissan may have been very late coming to the hybrid party, but their first crack at building one turned out pretty good. It’s a gas/electric version of their midsize Altima sedan, and it’s designed to go head-to-head with the Toyota Camry Hybrid.
Since they were a late arrival, Nissan didn’t start from [...]

Nissan’s Versa Offers Lots of Room in a Small Package
With gas prices approaching all-time highs, a lot of Americans have been looking for smaller, fuel-efficient cars. Japanese automakers have been quick to respond with subcompact cars, like the Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris. Nissan has also come up with a small car, called [...]
