2013 Nissan Sentra: A Lesson In Compromise4.0/5

2013 Nissan Altima - All-New, All Things To All People4.0/5

What’s the most important quality of a mid-size sedan: a distinct personality to call its own, or the ability to please most of the people, most of the time?

2013 Nissan Pathfinder: New star of the urban jungle4.5/5

What was Nissan thinking when they built the last Pathfinder on a slightly shorter version of the Titan pick-up’s frame?

2013 Nissan GT-R: Four days in the Batmobile4.0/5

Like the shark in Jaws or the Tyrannosaurus Rex in Jurassic Park, the threat that the GT-R presented for elite western sports cars came long before the production version of the beast actually appeared at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show – and without the sound effects. This threat became evident …August 30, 2012

2013 Nissan Altima: Muted sportiness

The new Altima tones down its sportiness: gone is the manual gearbox – replaced exclusively by a CVT – and the suspension is more accommodating, at least on the V6 version. Instead, there’s a glut of technology and the outside – and the inside when it has leather upholstery – …June 14, 2012

He said, she said: Test driving the Nissan Juke

2012 Nissan Maxima: Good car seeks owner3.5/5

It doesn’t seem like long ago that conversations about Nissan products naturally turned to the Maxima and Pathfinder. Although the company’s other vehicles sold, these two dominated the family.

Gas-free Driving: Life with the LEAF4.0/5

Electric cars are now part of our everyday lives. As proof, Nissan recently delivered its first LEAFs. The idea of going to and from work every day for a week without racking up gas charges on my credit card was enough to make my mouth water. After a week of …February 15, 2012
