For the record, a Nissan Versus is a piece of shit tin can.
If you have one I apologize for my disdain. It is without hesitation one of the worst things I've ever driven. And there was a time in my "trying to get there" past that I drove a 1978 Buick Regal with a sagging headliner and a driver's door that was so bashed in you had to crawl through the window to get in the car.
I'm not a terribly brand centric person. Ive always found it kind of cultish and tribal, and the ultimate side effect of American Commercialism and over-Marketing. I just do what works for me. You do you. Blah blah blah.
But Nissan now has the lowest resale value across the board of any car brand. They have the lowest reliability of any car brand now. And I could honestly careless - I don't really favor brands but the things I've read and heard about the newer model Nissans is troubling (2014 and up). I was at the local dealership last summer (the Nissan place is next door to several other ones on a big 50 acre complex) getting the wife's little Cherrrrmun (aka German) car serviced. I walked over to the back of the Nissan service bay and started talking to a couple of the techs over there. I couldn't believe what was coming out of their mouths about how horrible their own cars were. They specifically pointed towards something in most of their Altimas and Versas the last 10 years - the CVT (cont variable transmission). It has MAJOR MAJOR issues. And that was just one thing the engine techs told me....they went on and on about how cheap the cars were now and how Nissan was losing its ass in sales and resale value compared to Honda especially and how none of the service techs ever wanted to stay there long because of all the issues - that they were always looking to jump ship to the other dealerships in town to avoid the nightmare that is Nissan now.
One quick look on the GoreWebbz when I got home that day backed up what they were saying. In fact, lawsuits from Snags and Wes out the ying yang over this whole ordeal, CVT, untested known defects, cheap materials, sales, you name it. Used to be a decent car brand too. Never would have thought 20 years ago that Hyundai and Kia would be more highly thought of than Nissan.
I rented a Nissan Sentra 2-3 years ago and then a Toyota Corolla about 6 months later for a work trip.....both compact little tin cans but just on the eye test, that Yoda was just a more solid, well built, better driving car.
