Nissan Juke: A real surprise!3.5/5

It’s hard to understand why Nissan is always left in the shadows when it comes to buyers looking to purchase a new vehicle. Sure, some of the cars in their line-up are leaving something to be desired, but for the most part their models are very competitive. And you have …January 26, 2011

The 2012 Nissan Juke: Jack of all Trades... Or Master of None?5.0/5

It looks like a frog… at least, as like a frog as a car possibly can. Then again, is it even a car? These are the questions that popped into my head upon first sighting Nissan’s new Juke… and I’m here to tell you that after fourteen driving-intensive days spent …January 8, 2011

The 2010 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V: Nissan's Best Kept Secret4.0/5

You never get a flat tire when it’s sunny out. At least not here in Vancouver. Be that the result of Vancouver’s endless monsoon season or a man named Murphy and his oft-touted laws, the sad reality is that anyone driving in Vancouver long enough will inevitably find themselves at …October 3, 2010

The 2010 Nissan 370Z: 40 Years and Counting!4.0/5

While the Car Guide is gearing up to celebrate 45 years in 2011, Nissan also has cause to celebrate as the Z turns 40. In fact, the Datsun 240Z rolled into North America on October 22, 1969, much to the delight of sport coupe fans. This car was acclaimed as …June 23, 2010

The Nissan Z-Car Celebrates Mid-Life: the 40th Anniversary 370Z4.0/5

Last week, I had the good fortune of conducting my business about town in one incredibly bright, incredibly blue, Nissan 370Z convertible. While an enjoyable car in its own right, I couldn’t help but consider how far removed the new drop-top was from its 40-year old roots. Heavy, complex, and …June 14, 2010

2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster: An Automotive Anachronism3.0/5

When Nissan wanted to build a sports coupe in the late ‘60s, they spared no expense. Recognizing that a graceful, swooping body would be absolutely necessary in order to gain a foothold in the narcissistic North American and European markets blessed with pretty cars since the roaring ‘30s, Datsun began …May 29, 2010

2010 Nissan cube Krom: Cute Turns Krom4.5/5

I, like so many others, have always been told not to judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to Nissan’s cube, it’s hard not to. I mean, let’s be honest... this thing is downright weird. It’s skinny, upright, and endowed with windows brought to you by Jelly …May 23, 2010

2010 Nissan Altima Coupe: An Accord Alternative3.5/5

It’s been three years since I found myself astride Nissan’s entry-level sports coupe. Debuting to much fanfare in 2007, the coupe’s looks aped that of its bigger, more potent brother; providing buyers with a fine counterpoint to the controversial appearance of Honda’s latest Accord coupe. And it still does. Although …January 27, 2010

Cubism: The 2009 Nissan Cube3.5/5

We writers are a finicky bunch. Given the right conditions, we can churn out text on command. Hell, sometimes it’s even half decent. But most have what some people would call an... erm... “issue.” Call it OCD. Call it picky. Call it ridiculous. Call it the boon of editors worldwide. November 3, 2009

The Diabolocally Dramatic Nissan 370Z4.5/5

Upon my driver’s licence, as with most others, there is a tiny graphical representation of my glowing countenance. Of course, as with most others, this representation is horribly rendered and bears little to no resemblance to my actual face. But, nonetheless, I could almost make out tiny beads of sweat …August 19, 2009

Nissan Versa: All positives…almost!

The Nissan Versa seems to be multiplying at an exponential rate on Quebec’s roads since its launch in 2007, so we felt that a long-term test drive was in order. A few months before receiving our Nissan Versa Hatchback SL 2008, we did an extended test drive of a Sentra …November 28, 2008
