2015 Nissan Micra: Small Car for a Small Price?4.0/5

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 …November 5, 2014

2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS: Performance... From Concentrate4.0/5

Right from its launch in 2010, it was easy to spot the merits of the Juke. Its smaller size isn’t what Nissan’s little SUV has become known for; its unusual style is what really garnered attention. With its unique lines, it’s a somewhat polarizing vehicle: you either like it or …June 11, 2014

2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid: Sophisticated but Disappointing3.5/5

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 …May 14, 2014

2014 Nissan Altima: A Mean Machine3.5/5

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 …March 19, 2014

2014 Nissan Rogue: A Fresh New Family Face4.0/5

Growing up is hard to do, but the 2014 Nissan Rogue compact crossover has been lucky: just last year it watched bigger brother Pathfinder blaze a path forward through the family segment with an all-new platform and fresh styling. The redesigned Rogue’s family resemblance to the Pathfinder – and its …February 21, 2014

2014 Nissan NV200: Useful Things Come In Small Packages4.0/5

They might not be glamorous, but they sure are useful. I'm referring, of course, to the new breed of compact cargo vans that have washed up on Canadian shores over the course of the past couple of years. The 2013 Nissan NV200 is a shining example of their ilk, a …November 29, 2013

2013 Nissan Juke NISMO: The Fast and the Curious4.5/5

Whatever happened to fun? Why do modern cars have to be so serious all of the time? Why must every single vehicle on the market tick off all of the by-now standard boxes of practicality, performance, efficiency, and conformity to the era’s prevalent styling trends? Obviously, I am exaggerating, as …June 17, 2013

2014 Nissan Pathfinder: A New Crossover Personality For A New Era In Family Transportation4.0/5

The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder marks both the beginning and the end of an era for the Japanese automaker. Until 2013, the Nissan Pathfinder represented one of the few remaining mid-size body-on-frame SUVs available from the land of the rising sun, a vehicle that was rugged enough for off-road fun when …March 14, 2013

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

Something important happened in the compact car industry at the end of the last decade: automakers decided to get serious about offering high quality, low-price vehicles in the Canadian market. What this meant for drivers is that suddenly they were free to peruse options not hailing from Japan without having …February 28, 2013

2013 Nissan Rogue S AWD: Practical Utility In A Plain Wrapper4.0/5

Compact crossover vehicles are intended to bridge the gap between sedans and larger SUVs for families that require additional cargo space and roomier interior than is typically available in mid-size sedan, without having to pay too much of a premium at the gas pump. The criteria used to judge a …January 11, 2013

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? From a sales perspective, the latter design spec more often than not takes precedence over the former when dealing with family …November 2, 2012

2013 Nissan 370Z - Beautiful, Agile, Powerful - Pick Two4.0/5

Some sports cars are purely utilitarian in their designed, carved out of exactly as much steel, carbon fibre, and glass required to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Others are exercises in fluidic sculpture committed to automotive form, vehicles that are delightful to the eye …October 3, 2012
