2012 Nissan Maxima: Maximizing its potential4.0/5

If you closely examine the outside of a newer Nissan Maxima, you'll find a single solitary sticker on the rear driver's side window proclaiming that Nissan's biggest family sedan is, in fact, a four door sports car. And although it's a claim that is too easy to scoff at, the …February 4, 2012

2012 Nissan Versa: Far more versatile than vivacious3.5/5

Typically, when a manufacturer revises one of their most prominent and popular models, they'll trot out all manner of marketing mumbo jumbo in an effort to make you believe that they've reinvented the wheel. Sadly, since the most popular and prominent models in any manufacturer's lineup are typically the sedate …January 28, 2012

2012 Nissan Sentra: Sentrasational, or Sentragnant?3.5/5

There are few segments in the automotive marketplace that are as hard fought as that of the economy car. It's a segment that's dominated the sales charts since its inception and is oftentimes seen as the proverbial doorstep to brand loyalty. As a result, manufacturers scratch, claw, scramble and cling …January 17, 2012

2012 Nissan Rogue: Reliable, Rational, Reasonable... but Roguish?4.0/5

If you're ever in Vancouver, there is just one single tourist non-attraction that I'd entreat you to experience: the Granville Street bridge. Although a monolithic, bland, and architecturally boring structure almost devoid of any interesting or unique devices (the Lions Gate and Burrard bridges have that amply covered), should you …January 12, 2012

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Operation Moose Hunt4.5/5

For thousands of people in our country, moose hunting season is a time-honoured tradition. But since hunting means travelling to remote locations, you need a vehicle that can cope with bad roads and get you back home, hopefully, with the game. The Car Guide entrusted a Jeep Grand Cherokee to …December 29, 2011

The Nissan LEAF on the Examining Table

Although the Nissan Leaf is manufactured in small quantities and most models have already been purchased by the time they come off the production line, we were still able to get our hands on one for a week-long test drive. And while we were at it, we decided to have …December 8, 2011

2011 Nissan Pathfinder: Historically Accurate3.5/5

Nissan Pathfinder Road Test Ask any avid outdoorsman to show you their favorite piece of gear, and chances are good that the device that’s brought before you will be both old, and well used. Having bought and sold numerous rifles and shotguns as my tastes (and my money) came and …October 22, 2011

2012 Nissan NV 2500HD: It's Big. Really, Really, Big.3.5/5

Believe it or not, I can have fun driving just about anything. So when Nissan informed me that the next vehicle available for testing was their colossal NV2500 HD commercial van, I tried to take an optimistic attitude... I really did. But, walking up the broad white flanks of the …October 1, 2011

2011 Nissan 370Z NISMO: Tasteful tuning4.0/5

At Nissan, the Z is most definitely the car with the most prestigious legacy. After all, it comes from a long line of sports cars, including the 240Z launched more than 40 years ago. The 370Z has been in the catalogue since 2009 when it succeeded the 350Z that came …September 15, 2011

2012 Nissan Versa Sedan: Shift expectations?

By putting too much emphasis on affordability, Nissan, creator of such exotic cars as the Cube and the Juke, forgot that a little flash makes all the difference. So here we are, already complaining about the car that, at $11,798, is THE least expensive car on the market. After all, …August 18, 2011

2011 Nissan Quest: The family minivan with a peculiar look4.0/5

Auto manufacturers recognize that minivans have potential. But in an effort to breathe new life into this eminently practical vehicle category, each is using a novel approach. Chrysler, for example, is trying to market the minivan as a vehicle for active men. In their advertising photo, there’s even an athletically …April 21, 2011

2011 Nissan Maxima: Z DNA?3.5/5

It sure is entertaining, that Nissan Maxima commercial in which a 370Z is stretched out, gets two more doors and morphs into a Maxima while a voice tells you that the Maxima is really a sedan version of the Z. Right. In my opinion, the Maxima would need a lot …April 1, 2011
