+1 What is the demographic? I view Toyotas and Hondas as sort of the cars for "everyone". Subaru I know caters to perhaps a more "outdoorsy" bunch. But who is Nissan's demographic?


I would also like to know this. My husband and I were discussing this just the other day because we don't know anyone with a Nissan. Who buys them? And does Mitsubishi even make cars anymore?

trust me. it's a good thing you listened to them... you can't go wrong with the other 4 japanese brands though - honda, toyota, mazda, and subaru.

Interestingly, I find that VW and Nissan owners tend to be repeat buyers even if their earlier models have been trouble for them. And the VW owners are like pit bull owners in their enthusiasm for their dumb cars.

Yup, Nissan is a piece of sh*t. Not recommended.

VWs are known to have issues. They aren't Japanese and don't have the same expectation of reliability.

I get an earful every time I meet a colleague who drives one. So I guess, there's at least some truth to that.

A close friend bought a Nissan Murano. She had nothing but issues with the thing. The entire dashboard ended up going. Before that she'd had a Subaru for years and years.

Nissans cater to a certain demographic. The average dcum poster isn't one. I'm surprised you bought one in the first place

I'm pretty sure consumer reports agrees with you.

Car sucks, customer service sucks, dealer sucks!!! I love Japanese cars but Nissan is a piece of junk! Stay with Honda, Toyota, or Subaru!!

I'm just venting.
