Go on the website of any dealership that sells used cars and I guarantee you that most of the relatively recent Nissans are going to be less expensive than Toyotas and Hondas of the same year.
Why is this? Poorer quality? Less brand recognition?

poorer quality definitely. they break down. just buy a model 3 like everyone is.
man.
But yeah Nissan purposely makes and sells cheap cars. Not all across the board but for 90% of what they currently produce. They also make them easier to finance at dealerships.
Not worth it man. Their transmissions are garbage. Once they go, that’s it. You’ve got a brick. Happened at 100k for me.
honda and totota (and ofc Lexus) are top quality reliable brands. You pay for that.
What about if he doesn't want a transmission for girls? How do the manuals hold up?
BECUASE NISSAN IS NOT JAPANESE
IT WAS gong bad in the 90s and renault bought them out. japanese only have 20% say
the rest is french
hence why they are junk long term
versus honda and toyota
osaka here so trust me i know
20% I meant skyline and 370z
yes they rest are junk and those v6 are not the easiest to work on
hence why the gtr has gone unchanged
renault cannot afford to pay Japanese for another special car
they need crap like Nissan versas they can finance themselves and stupid rates
look at Nissan dealers and how many Mexicans are lining up to buy junk
its not quality but volume they are after
Toyota has very strict standards and they dont fuck around
I have a buddy at DENSO and he tells me how Toyota has QC checkpoints like no other
Nissan ass belong to French Renault
same as Mazda is junk because Ford owns most (same crap mazda going down ford to the rescue) then came junk
only 2 brands in this world Toyota
and when btc moons . Lexus LFA
because you see McLaren and lambos more often
kys
choose common or rare
lambos and Ferrari are burned and cannot be worked on when your dumbass shit breaks down becuase you have to ship it to Italy for special dumbass parts
Japanese : no
What about S. Korean cars (KIA)?
They looking good nowadays. How is the quality?
This. I had the manual transmission replaced in my 04 Camry - cost $1,200 inc labor. I always try to get the manual transmission as that's usually what bricks cars.
This explains a lot. Thanks user.

Are the modern Mazdas really not any good?
based nipper
they offer 10 year warranty for a reason
I drove several even the GM ones.....chevy aveo aka Korean Daewoo aka Hyundai aka kia
they are all the same
hate to say it but its sucks the good choices are limited
I mean in terms of design I dont know who would buy a stinger and all Koreans do is poach german engineers.....from MB to BMW
its all the same crap except for the those last 2
honda is not doing so well since they partnered with UK (civic) everything in terms of design and engine (turbo) is uk based not Japanese...….why would people pay Japanese price for BMW issues.
I highly recommend you look into the new Toyota chassis …..GMBH ? anyway the new corolla to me is the most appealing
has the looks and engine
, no turbo parts to break down in the future and the car design is the most subtle of the bunch
I think kia stinger should have a recall on design. its hideous, almost like the new camry but at least that has a name and reliable engine to back it up
Toyota and Fuji heavy industries have been in the game way too long and have too much to lose. hence why they dont need to offer so much warranty crap like KIa or Hyundai
drove a kia suv 2 months ago and it was the worst driving experience ever. the engine and trans are an abomination
I own a mazda 3 2015
worst decision ever
the bank thinks it will win
screw them I paid over 20k still owe money and the trans is done
the dealer will not replace the trans because these fuckers decided to blame it on different wheels and suspension
found a lame excuse for a faulty tran
later I found out its made in china
reeeeeee
then i saw my brake master cylinder also made in china
brake lines made in philpines
wtf ?
i paid for japanese car and this is what i get ?
screw you ford .......they forced mazda to lower the quality and up the design
mazda is fake japanese
Imo they are the best, most modern looking classic cars out today. I never liked Mazda brand but everything out recently is gold.
Mazda 3 - quality, reliable, many trims
Mazda CX-5 - same.
They are cheap and good. To get the same thing you would have to spend 2-3x more in European cars like Mercedes-Benz and bmw. Mazda 3 GT (30k) is comparable to a Merc that costs 60-70k. The CX-5 goes for 30-50k and the Merc equivalent is 2x or more.
You also get good treatment from other cars and police that see you. They are easy on the eyes
It's always interesting to read non car people talk about cars. Your concerns and what details you all focus on are absurd.
you will get 40mpg with skyactiv
but in terms of quality like my previous post mentioned
mazda never used this many outsourced parts. and never from china
now its all downhill since they their cars to look good and not last long
with mazda $$ you cannot have both especially when big daddy FORD CALLS THE SHOTS who does what with money
Toyota and Honda aren't Japanese anymore either
yes yes design
but 10 years from now thats what you get
good looking but crap inside
the cars you referred to are BM chassis from mazda
I know them very well and like I said good looks and functionality are one thing. longevity is way different
thats where mazda has failed before and will continue to do so UNLESS FORD LEAVES
YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS MANY CHINA PARTS IN ANY OTHER JAPANESE CARS.
HECK even Nissan didn't go that low, they went French (renault)
what market ?
we all know they outsource
but to what degree is the argument here
toyota is the best
especially the new corolla
my friend works at Denso and I saw the quality standards, compared to nissan mazda and honda its #1
to be a supplier toyota has numerous testing standards comapred to other jap cars and this goes a long way
2014-2017 entire braking system is china and Philippines. compare that to a Toyota
no way
made in china, Mexico, Philippines
OR
MADE IN JAPAN
Japanese way of life or developing nations ?
cmon biz
2 eazy
I was going to buy Toyota or Subaru but these reliable cars are boxes and wheels at the end of the day. I'm not saying Mazda is perfect but they put a smile on my face because of their design. I personally think they messed up big time with the istop functionality but outside that they are great. I probably wouldn't buy the other models. The MX5/Miata is a small penis car with no power, the other models Mazda 2, 6, 8 and everything between are generic and are not compelling buys (maybe the 6). But the company is on the right track.
How many km's?
I must admit I like to see rx vision renders and jaguar cx-9
the art of the samurai is sword is in all these cars
cant have it all i guess
They both build the majority of their cars in North America now and source parts globaly
Hell, the Civic transmission is made in fucking India
that makes it worst 40,000 maga miles
shifter cable came off the other day
battery is too big compared to hondas and the ecu position is terrible
not sure how but check yours
somehow acid from battery dried up near shifter cable and now i look like a dumbass in traffic. i couldnt shift
luckily i squeezed my hand in to put it back on
still have pics
Toyota has the least
thats what I am trying to explain. the company who sticks to its roots the most wins
problem with Toyota is financing / price
they are not cheap for a reason
but heck what does that matter right ?
look up a used Toyota FJ cruiser and Look up a used Nissan Xterra
It amazes me how much Toyota holds its value
Too bad Mitsu went down to the grave, I loved my Evo X. Nissan isn’t releasing a new GT-R?
Under radiator hose near battery
Trash
Made in PRC
huge rally fan
sad but i guess we still have wrx ?
not sure about GTR last I heard was renault and Fiat want to merge.
Evo X is nice sad to see it go
Based nip, should I buy a Subaru WRX? How is their reliability?
GTR is the only Nissan car people still care about. The R36 is overdue.
Mistsu are reliable low end cars. I got a lancer for my sister for 5-6k and it is pretty indestructible. Sure it's mostly plastic and feels and drives like a box but it's a good cheap car.
I used to idolize rally cars like Evo's and WRXs but then I got older and realized there is no place for these cars in the modern world where the speed limit is like 60km/hr.
Yes they should’ve not lost their balls and made a Evo XI to challenge Subaru, but that company is gone. I have a Toyota 86 now and it’s too slow
I thought the R36 was coming soon. They need to make it to battle the new Supra. Mitsu Lancer was a great line and they blew it
I had a WRX wagon for a while, and you are absolutely right, nobody NEEDS that kind of power on a public road. It was definitely a fun car, and I had a blast breaking the law all the time, but eventually you grow up a bit and realize that the other people on the road don't want to take part in your racer boy fantasy, and they deserve safe driving on your part.
Sold it, bought a 2004 Tacoma 2wd that I drive like a grandpa, and never had to repair anything major in 9 years of ownership.
Still have a manual transmission in the truck though!
