Lets talk about new vehicles

Automakers that won't survive 2026
My Mitsubishi name was mentioned. My experience is they have been bulletproof however now too expensive these days .

I always got better trade ins on these than Ford....
Just a video for discussion

On regular gas non-hybrid ?

Non-hybrid I think. It's not fast by any means but when you look at most cars they're all around 5-8 seconds 0-60.

*correction it's more like 8 seconds.

It is indeed, the poor thing drones and buzzes.

I tried a Corolla Cross Hybrid (same powertrain as the sedan me think), and this one is polished, and actually fast. And brings a welcome AWD option (to the sedan as well)

I wouldn't expect much more though from a $26k economy car that weighs 3k pounds. But considering it's the M20A with both port and DI and has a 1st gear CVT, I think it's a very good choice for daily and long term reliability.

Anyone think Nissan's going to make it a few more years?

I worry about my Stellantis 2 year fake Jeep lease. Will I be left high and dry and stranded with a dried up cow flap and no way out?

My sister’s Altima was a huge disappointment. The last Nissan I’d been in was a 1987 Nissan 300ZX and it felt absolutely luxurious by comparison. Nissan needs to lower their prices significantly to compete due to the quality of their products.

The way you go through motors that's the least of your worries
Happy New Year Ken..

Stopped by a dealer the other day for fun. Nissan Rogue selling for $44,000 Absolutely ridiculous.

Sounds more like it was "not selling" for 44k.

Only the white ones...

Being Honda stopped making the NA port injected 2.0, that leaves only the Toyota 2.0 M20A MKS as the only port/GDI NA 4cylinder left on the market.

Actually this one was indeed white

We would not be happy if they didn't.

LOVE our 2012 Altima, has been an amazing car.

So far her 2024 Pathfinder Platinum hasn't disappointed, so I hope they stick around.

Surprised they brought back the Altima. But it was objectively a good car.

Back at looking at Frontiers again. Used. But don't want to buy something from an automaker that ceases operations. Especially with how computer oriented modern cars are.

 

[walterjay]

I don't think Nissan is going anywhere soon. A ton of them in my area. And they still make an inexpensive car if that is what one wants. And Ford and Chrysler cannot seem to produce anything low cost basic.

 

[Zee09]

I have had Nissans since 1980,
I always went that way because in the day Toyota was far more expensive and had funky plaid cloth interiors I didn't care for...
I know many that got great durability from them.

I think you'll find more folks that like the brand than hate it.

 

[Zee09]

I see a Hyundai Kona daily and what a funky vehicle...
The backend looks really weird and it has those PT cruiser taillights...

Not much style there.

 

[GI_GRIFF]

I have prostituted myself to the lowest bidder and did unspeakable things to obtain the ultimate
long range road cruiser. Obviously I have failed and need your help.

What I require............

* Great seats for a bad back and I do not like tiny bottoms in my rides but- never mind... ; )
* Roomy- I hate when they put you in a cubicle like a Ford Taurus
* No Fords- I hate their seats
* No pickups- AWD or FWD fine- CVT is okay
* Very quiet with minimal road noise
* If hwy mpg is below 25 mpg- no thanks- The more the better- MORE!
* Hybrid ok
* Don't need a prestige brand- been there before
* Reliable- Sometimes I will put 3-4K miles on in one week
* Car-SUV-CUV okay
* Budget.. $25K-$55K NEW!

Thanks!
