  • Nissan was once regarded as one of the automotive world’s great comeback stories. A scrappy Japanese manufacturer that had earned worldwide respect under the leadership of Carlos Ghosn. But now that man is an international fugitive, and Nissan is struggling once again.

      That's why, most car owners DON'T care well for their cars. These Jane's and Joe's go around giving the bare minimum effort to keep their wheels rolling, that being said, Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford all seem to have nice handfuls of cars that'll do perfectly well with much less maintainece, and much worse treatment at that.
      So if nissan is having trouble matching the standard the market sets, isn't that their own problem? Maybe they should make like dodge and try a more performance oriented approach, since people buying dodges/ other lower to upper end performance tend to have the money to maintain them and are more interested in cars to boot, meaning they'll be more inclined to care for them.

    I own a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X with over 75,000 miles. Only two minor warranty issues since I've had it. Just drove it on a 4,100 mile round trip from Vegas to Indiana. Blasted through a snowstorm on I-70 in the Rockies (semi trucks were required to pull over and install chains on their tires). Bulletproof and a vastly better value than a Toyota 4Runner.
    I also own a 2017 Nissan 370Z 6MT with over 30,000 miles. Zero issues so far. Made in Japan with one of the best V6 engines you can get. 362 horsepower with no turbos. Neither has a CVT.

      In the late 1960's and early 70's the Datsun 510, Roadster, and Datsun 240Z lead to the success of Datsun in the U.S. market. The Datsun 810 was also introduced in the 1970's. The 810 is the Maxima. The 70's Datsun B210 got 40mpg. I think people would break down dealerships doors today, to buy an inexpensive car that gets 40mpg. 👍🏽
      The Datsun name was put on the card so if the cars failed to catch on in the U.S. The Nissan name would be just fine.
