Tests and Features

Not so long ago, someone at Nissan Canada had a brilliant idea: to invite a dozen automobile journalists for a drive down Route 66, all the way from Chicago to Santa Monica, which is just outside of Los Angeles. For the choice of vehicles, Nissan had plenty of options. It …

The Nissan Altima, which is not particularly well-known and not always well-loved, is offering nothing new for 2015. Or almost nothing. With new models and new features capturing all the headlines, it’s easy to overlook this mid-size sedan. But Nissan Canada isn’t asleep at the wheel on this one. In …

There’s a new kid on the block: the Nissan Micra, considered by its manufacturer as a sub-compact and by me as a city car. Its size places it between a Chevrolet Spark and a Honda Fit, with its engine being more powerful than the former and less powerful than the …

Nissan has resuscitated its little Micra this year and The Car Guide wanted to learn more about this blast from the past. To keep the starting price under $10,000, Nissan undoubtedly had to make some compromises, so we enlisted the help of the mechanics at Garage Nicolas Demers to examine …

Nissan caught a lot of people off guard last year when it revamped the Pathfinder. The update coincided with the decision to ditch the ladder-type frame borrowed from the Titan pick-up. It went from being an authentic SUV to a large crossover with a unibody, front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel …

As the title of this article suggests, the Altima is a mean machine—but more in the mathematical sense rather than the macho one. Here, “mean” means average, or ordinary. Don’t get me wrong, the Nissan Altima isn’t a bad car by any means. On the contrary, it has some great …
