Mostly it is the service centre and limited showrooms. Also Nissan as a brand is dying globally but one good thing is parts are shared with Renault Kiger so availability shouldn't be a problem. And it used to ship more than 2500+ units each month recently.

I have been using Renault kwid for past 5 years and trust me the engine is sluggish and not at all refined. Also, service experience is not at all good. Same with Nissan, cheap quality interiors and panels. It is not a sensible option.

The car is mechanically very sound and offers a lot of features in the 10 lakh price bracket. If you are living in Tier 1/2 cities then you can opt for the Turbo CVT spec. Lack of service centres is a major sore point for potential buyers and the recent gloomy news about the future of the entire Nissan brand.

Small engine as compared to car kerb weight, lacks torque, and if you have 5 passengers sitting in it, then it's dead.... 1000cc engine for a vehicle of this size is a big no no....I had kiger , built on same platform, sold it for the same reason, sport mode is useless, although it can be a good option if you only want to use it for city drives, as it gives better mileage

Well service point is one. Also in indian market perception plays a huge role. in case you live in tier 1/2, and have sales/service closeby, you can confidently opt for it

Mods? Z or GTR. If you want one that's just fast and rides nice get the maxima.

if it's driven by a cvt don't even mod that shi but an altima is a solid choice depending on conditions and if you're leasing

Become an Altima driver.

GT-R. 😁

If you want to strike fear into the hearts of mortals and insurance companies: the Nissan Altima.

I’d recommend checking out the Citroen C3. Take her out for a spin.

Considering Magnite here as well. Not sure if i should go for AMT or CVT - any suggestion for a first time car buyer?

Take a test drive of new Amaze as well. Technically Honda 1.2L NA would be better for the city than the 1.0 turbo charged. You don't need to worry about lower ground clearance in the city and, it's better for highway run, more stable.

Hey I'm confused which car to get We finalised magnite but having last minute thoughts We r getting the top model turbo cvt A friend suggested the sonet htx plus is better for price but I'm not sure We r focusing more on comfort and features Just decent power is fine Upgrading from baleno 2017 alpha 1.2 mt

Hey OP, which one did you buy? I’m also in thoughts for Nissan Magnite. And I’m also from Hyd for the context of service centres and road taxes.

Dale para adelante sin dudar, gran primer auto, muy fiel y barato de mantener.

Lindo bichito con un lindo motor. Hice viajes cortos con él y respondió muy bien en caminos sinuosos, también de tierra. Igual manejé a velocidad prudente, demasiado prudente para los lugareños que me pasaban como si estuviera caminando. La verdad en temas repuestos no puedo decirte que onda, porque lo use poco tiempo.

Para auto de ciudad me parece ideal, yo siempre lo recomiendo porque quedé con un cariño especial hacia él. Habría que ver cómo se banca el paso del tiempo y km

Tengo uno para vender impecable si te interesa mándame dm

Justo mañana voy a ver uno, asi que si todo está en orden, le doy para adelante.

Gracias!

yo tenia un Nissan March 2018 lo choque el año pasado jijooo de buda... el seguro pagò completo y me compre un Nissan Note 2018... ambos autos me gustan mucho son comodos confiables buen motor caja automatica todo facil y bonito, es un poco de vieja pero bueno, son lindos autos y los conseguis a buen precio...

The question isn’t what is the cheapest. It’s the “best bang for the buck”. The answer to this question doesn’t need to be cheap. And since different people will be looking for different types of sports cars and have different pocket books, there is more than one answer to the question anyways.

A C5/C6 is a great way to get basically a track car for a relatively small investment compared to the competition.

Miata

Miata

981 Boxster/cayman under 35k or a 986 Boxster under 10k. 996 turbo also. 

Sports car or just fun? I had a Toyota van with a manual transmission. If the road was wet, and the tires were bald, it would drift around any curve on the road. Called it my mid-engined sports van.

I’d say a used C5 Corvette with a manual.

Proper sports car, huge aftermarket support. Decently affordable to buy, and not particularly expensive to maintain.

I would place cars like the miata, gr86, bmw z3 firmly in sports segment. Cars like the corvette or bmw m3 are in the performance category.

Fwiw i regularly outpace much faster cars on the track with my 150hp miata, but i have semislick tires. It's really all about your build and setup.

This should be at the top.

Nissan is partnered with Santander, the subprime loanshark and will finance anyone with a pulse.

They've been happily putting people into Altimas with 8 year loans at 21%

Their Z products and GTRs are cool and iconic cars.

The Armada Is an extremely capable off road suv with a nice V8

All the products mentioned above are higher end specialty products - their run of the mill consumer products (Altima, Sentra, Rogue etc…) are cheaper than the competition and are fairly well equipped.

Other than that they are supposed to have really comfortable seats and be relatively fuel efficient

Nissan is kind of like Kia/Hyundai in that they offer more value for the money. So more features for the price than a comparable Toyota/Honda.

For example, the Sentra comes standard with blind spot monitoring. The Corolla does not come standard with blind spot monitoring.

Sentra has a nicer looking interior and infotainment screen than the Corolla. That matters a lot to some people.

Nissan are also famous for their comfortable NASA inspired zero gravity seats.

This is true across the board. Nissan Sentra has a nicer interior and offers more value than the Toyota Corolla. Nissan Rogue is nicer than the Toyota RAV4 etc.

If you don't plan on owning a car for over 5 years (beyond the powertrain warranty) or going to lease, then choosing the Nissan over the Toyota is not a bad idea

I've heard the Altima seats are life changing.

I love a good dashboard

Your comment has me interested in Nissan now

Toyota 4Runner

The Nissan Toyota.

Why wouldn't you just get a Corolla? If reliability is your concern...

Statistically Toyota comes up #1 on pretty much every reliability/longevity list with Honda in a close second.

One WITHOUT a CVT transmission. There’s a reason there cheaper… idk which ones.. you’ll have to do some research.

My experience has been terrible: https://www.reddit.com/r/NissanRogue/comments/1iuiono/extremely_disappointed_with_nissan_beware_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

No, 2.5 good motor, available in AWD that’s sweet in rain, drove a rental AWD SR from Portland to Eugene in heavy Oregon rain and it did great

I was given a Nissan Kicks as a loaner car while mine was in the shop. One day was a little bit windy and it literally felt like the car was being picked up and I was going to fly off the road while I was trying to get up to highway speeds.

Yes. Buy a Toyota or Honda

No stay away from nissan. They're dogshit cheap cars that you WILL have problems with.

Most of the long term issues in modern Nissans tend to be with the CVT gearbox, which damn near every Nissan has these days. The bigger car with more power going through that CVT will wear it out quicker as well. Of the ones on your list the Armada is definitely the most solid as it's now finally based off the legendary Patrol sold in other markets.

The Nissan models without CVT's (excluding their manual gearbox counterparts) are as follows:

• Micra (Canada-only in North America)
• Armada
• 370Z
• Frontier
• Titan
• GT-R

Sure - a 1998-2001 Nissan Altima is plenty reliable. Along with basically any other model from that era. That's from the days when Nissan used to chase Toyota for quality - and almost chased themselves into bankruptcy. Then Carlos Ghosn came along, declared that quality is for the birds and the brand will now compete on design, and then they started putting the CVT into absolutely every thing starting with the 2005 Murano.

My 2004 G35 with a 5-speed auto is still going strong as my daily commuter.

The 7sp Autos are pretty reliable as well, along with the VQ/VR motors in general.

That said, they seem to shifting to CVTs for newer models like the QX60.

an Infiniti (har har har)

I had a Leaf for six years and all it ever needed was tire rotations.
