The Nissan Quest minivan has had quite a few reliability problems, but "none of its common flaws are super-serious," says Contributing Editor, Chris Chase. And most of its competitors have also experienced problems, he notes.

With its chrome grille, chrome alloys and body kit, the new Cube Krom "looks like a kind of urban-chic street cruiser," says editor-in-chief, Greg Wilson. "Whether the transition from cute to brute really works is debatable," he says.

Still the "jumbo shrimp" of the subcompact class, the Nissan Versa hatchback is roomy, comfortable and practical, though not particularly exciting, says Editor-in-chief, Greg Wilson. The safety of electronic stability control has been added for 2010.

Contributor Russell Purcell knows sports cars, so when he says the 2010 Nissan 370Z offers “stunning performance,” you should listen. An MSRP priced several thousand dollars under the last generation makes it an excellent value in its category, he adds.

While it's refreshed for 2010, changes to the Nissan Altima sedan are mostly cosmetic, says Assistant Editor Jil McIntosh. Handling and performance combine with an improved interior that now makes this a contender among the segment's best, she says.

While the basic Nissan Sentra 2.0 model “isn't a thrilling machine” it comes with just about everything that economy car buyers are looking for under $20,000, including Freight charge, says Contributing Editor Chris Chase.
